PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION SAFETY WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions.. PARKING MACHINE Park the machine on level ground where there is no danger of falling rocks or landslides, or of flooding if the land is low, and lower the work equipment to the ground. If it is necessary to park the machine on a slope, set blocks(1) under the tracks to prevent the machine from moving, then dig the work equipment into the ground(2). After stopping the engine, operate the right work equipment control lever several times to the RAISE and LOWER posi- tions to release the remaining pressure in the hydraulic cir- cuit.
1 2 AA30714C When parking on public roads, provide fences, signs, flags, or lights, and put up any other necessary signs to ensure that passing traffic can see the machine clearly, and park the machine so that the machine, flags, and fences do not obstruct traffic. Parking procedure see “PARKING MACHINE” on page 141. When leaving the machine, set the safety lock lever (1) to the LOCK position, stop the engine, and use the key to lock all the equipment. Always remove the key and take it with you. Work equipment posture see “PARKING MACHINE” on page 141. Locks see “LOCKING” on page 144. Always close the door of the operator’s compartment.
PRECAUTIONS IN COLD AREAS After completing operations, remove all water, snow, or mud stuck to the wiring harness, connector (1), switches, or sen- sors, and cover these parts. Carry out the warming-up operation thoroughly. If the machine is not thoroughly warmed up before the control levers are operated, the reaction of the machine will be slow, and this may lead to unexpected accidents. Operate the control levers to relieve the hydraulic pressure (raise to above the set pressure for the hydraulic circuit and release the oil to the hydraulic tank) to warm up the oil in the hydraulic circuit. This ensures good response from the machine and prevents malfunctions.
