Parking
When parking the machine overnight, or for an extended period, the following
procedure in addition to that given in 'Stopping the Engine' will help maintain it
in good condition for subsequent use:
1. Fill the fuel tank completely before parking the machine overnight, or for extended
periods, to prevent condensation. If security kit is supplied, keep it locked.
2. Always park on level ground where possible. If it must be parked on a grade,
position machine at right angles to the grade and block wheels securely.
3. If below freezing temperatures are expected, make sure the cooling system has
sufficient antifreeze to prevent the coolant freezing. If antifreeze cannot be added to
the cooling system, drain the system completely.
Check all tyres, hoses, wiring, tubing and fittings for cuts, ply separation, abrasion,
fraying, or other damage or deterioration. Inspect for structural damage to the cab,
body and chassis. Attach warning signs to the steering wheel or to a control to alert
others if lubricant has been drained, batteries removed etc..
