Making the Machine Ready

Ensure that the machine is as safe as possible to work on.

Carry out the steps below. Refer to the machine Operator
Handbook for full details about procedures for the
applicable machine.

1 Park the machine on firm level ground.

2 Remove any attachment.

3 Apply the parking brake (if fitted) and, or chock the

wheels / tracks as applicable.

If the machine is raised from the ground make sure it

is securely chocked. NEVER WORK UNDER A
MACHINE RAISED ON STABILISERS OR JACKS.

4 Make the loader arms, boom and dipper safe as

applicable. Lower to the ground or, raise and fit the
applicable safety strut.

5 Stop the engine and remove the starter key.

6 Operate the controls several times to release any

trapped hydraulic pressure. Slowly release the
hydraulic tank filler cap.

7 Disconnect the battery. The battery must be

disconnected even if a battery isolator is fitted.

8 Allow the machine hydraulics and engine cooling

system to cool before commencing work.

9 If arc welding is to be carried out on the machine,

disconnect the alternator and electronic control units
(if fitted). Make sure that the welding earth path is
kept as short as possible. This prevents high currents
being induced in the machine chassis or wiring
harnesses.
