Precautions for parking and stalling a scooptram

When operating a scooptram, it is essential to follow proper safety protocols to ensure the well-being of both the operator and others on site. One crucial aspect of this is parking the scooptram correctly. Here are some key steps to remember when parking the scooptram:

Firstly, before parking the scooptram, it is crucial to ensure that the site is safe and flat. This means checking for any potential hazards such as loose rocks or debris that could pose a risk. It is important to clear the area and make sure there are no obstacles that could hinder the parking process.

Secondly, when parking the scooptram, it is essential to engage the parking brake and turn off the power. This helps to ensure that the scooptram remains stationary and prevents any accidental movement. In addition, all operating levers should be placed in neutral to avoid any unintended actions. If possible, it is recommended to remove the key to further ensure that the scooptram remains immobilized.

Another important step when parking the scooptram is to unlock the seat belt. This allows for a quick and easy exit in case of an emergency. By removing the seat belt, the operator can swiftly leave the scooptram if required, without any hindrance.

Once these steps have been completed, it is time to leave the scooptram. It is important to be cautious when exiting the vehicle and to ensure that the surrounding area is clear of any potential dangers. By being alert and aware of the surroundings, the operator can ensure their safety and the safety of others.

Warning: When the scooptram must be parked on a slope, always point the front end of the scraper toward the bottom of the slope, if possible. Make sure the scooptram is parked behind a stationary object, the parking brake is applied, and the chocks are placed on the downhill side of the tires.
