Parking Machine
Avoid making sudden stops, or parking the machine wherever it
happens to be at the end of the workday. Plan so the excavator
will be on firm and level ground away from traffic and away from
high walls, cliff edges and any area of potential water
accumulation or runoff. If parking on inclines is unavoidable,
block the crawler tracks to prevent movement. Lower the bucket
or other working attachment completely to the ground, or to an
overnight support saddle. There must be no possibility of
unintended or accidental movement.
When parking on public roads, provide fences, signs, flags, or
lights,
a
nd put up any other necessary signs to ensure that
passing traffic can see the machine clearly. Park the machine so
the machine, flags, and fences do not obstruct traffic.
After the front attachment has been lowered to an overnight
storag
e position and all switches and operating controls are in
the "OFF" position, the safety lock lever must be set to
"LOCKED" position. This will disable all pilot circuit control
functions.
Always close the door of the oper
ator's cabin.
Never Let Anyone Ride on Attachment
Never let anyone ride on any work attachment, such as the
bucket, crusher, grapple, or clamshell (grab bucket). There is a
potential danger of the person falling and suffering serious
injury.
