Parking
Park on a level surface. If you must park on a grade,
use blocks to prevent the machine from rolling.
Apply the service brake in order to stop the
machine. Move t
he transmission control lever to
NEUTRAL position and move the engine speed
switch to the LOW IDLE position. Engage the
parking brake.
Lower the boom to the ground and fully retract the
c
ounterweig
ht.
Turn the engine start switch key to OFF position and
remove
the key.
Turn the key for the battery disconnect switch to the
OFF positi
on. Remove the key when you exit the
machine for an extended period of time.
Turning the battery disconnect switch to the OFF
position w
ill provide the
following benefits:
• Prevent battery discharge that is caused by a
battery sho
rt circuit.
• Prevent battery discharge that is caused by some
of the compo
nents.
• Prevent battery discharge that is caused by
vandalism.
Slope Operation
Machines that are operating safely in various
applications depend on these criteria: the machine
model, configuration, machine maintenance,
operating speed of the machine, conditions of the
terrain, fluid levels and tire inflation pressures. The
most important criteria are the skill and judgment of
the operator.
A well trained operator that follows the instructions in
t
he Op
eration and Maintenance Manual, has the
greatest impact on stability. Operator training
provides a person with the following abilities:
observation of working and environmental
conditions, feel for the machine, identification of
potential hazards and operating the machine safely
by making appropriate decisions.
When you work on side hills and when you work on
slope
s, co
nsider the following important points:
Speed of travel – At higher speeds, forces of inertia
tend
to make the machine less stable.
Roughness of terrain or surface – T
he machine may
be
less stable with uneven terrain.
Direction of travel – A
void operating the machine
acro
ss the slope. When possible, operate the
machine up the slopes and operate the machine
down the slopes. Place the heaviest end of the
machine uphill when you are working on an incline.
Mounted equipment – Bala
nce of the machine may
be impede
d by the following components:
equipment that is mounted on the machine, machine
configuration, weights and counterweights.
Nature of surface – G
round that has been newly
filled with earth may collapse from the weight
of the
machine.
Surface material – Ro
cks and moisture of the
surfa
ce material may drastically affect the machine's
traction and machine's stability. Rocky surfaces may
promote side slipping of the machine.
Slippage due to excessive loads – This ma
y cause
downhill tracks
or downhill tires to dig into the
ground, which will increase the angle of the
machine.
