Operation
Never stop the engine under full load, otherwise it can be damaged due to
overheating. Except in case of an emergency, always ensure that the engine
can cool down before it is stopped.
☞ Let the engine run at idling speed with no load for at least 5 minutes before
you switch it off.
Secure the machine against unauthorized operation.
• Raise the control lever base.
• Remove the starting key and carry it with you.

3.13 Parking the machine on slopes
☞ Avoid stopping the machine abruptly. Always ensure that there is enough space for
stopping the machine.
• Park the machine on level, stable ground. Never park on slopes. If you cannot avoid
parking the machine on a slope:
☞ Place chocks under the tracks and lower the attachment into the ground to prevent
the machine from moving.
• Severe accidents can be caused by unintentionally actuating the control levers, and
hence moving the attachment or the entire machine.
☞ Raise the control lever base before leaving the seat.
☞ Place the stabilizer blade downhill and lower it to the ground.
