Lock the articulated steering joint (a). Refer to section Locking/

Unlocking Articulated Steering Joint for information.

Secure the machine by attaching steel ropes or chains to the tie down

off, or when the hydraulic system is not functioning unless there is a

fault and/or the parking brakes have been manually disabled.

CAUTION: Do not position ropes or chains across the machine frame

or the articulated joint when tying down the machine. Damage to the

machine may occur.

CAUTION: Do not use complete deflection of shockmounts when tying

down the machine. Damage to the shockmounts may occur.

CAUTION: Do not leave the machine tied down for extended periods

of time (except for cases of transporting). Damage to the shockmounts

may occur.
