If more than one person shall perform work, one person should supervise to maintain the safety. 1. Park on a level ground and apply the parking brake. 2. Apply the articulation lock (see item 23). Block the wheels (see item 22). 3. Stop the engine and remove starter switch key if not necessary for the work. Disconnect the main switch in the battery compartment in front fender. 4. Secure the dump truck from being operated by accident or by persons unauthorised by attaching a warning label to the steering wheel. Do not allow persons to approach the area unnecessarily. 5. Be aware of hot fluids and components. 6. Drop the air system pressures (see item 26). 7. Block up all lifted components to prevent them from falling during work/stand underneath. Before starting up after the work, make sure the dump truck is in operationable condition.
