STOPPING, SHUTTING DOWN ENGINE, AND PARKING VEHICLE - CONTINUED

WARNING

Never park tractor on a steep grade. It is never good practice

to park a heavy truck on a steep slope even when parking

brake holding capability exceeds federal safety standards.

Failure to comply may result in tractor moving unexpectedly,

damage to equipment, and injury or death to personnel. Seek

medical attention in the event of an injury.

NOTE

Parking brakes will provide sufficient holding force if parked

on a normal, level surface.

To park the vehicle, perform the following:

1. Stop truck.

2. Pull parking brake control knob (WP 0005).

3. If truck is parked on normal surfaces, parking brakes will provide sufficient

holding force.

4. If truck is parked on unusual surfaces, chock wheels and take any other steps to

keep vehicle from moving.
