How should a forward tipping dumper be parked when not in use?

Parking a forward tipping dumper on stable ground with the engine off and the parking brake engaged is the safest practice. This ensures that the dumper will not roll away and is secure when not in use. Stable ground provides a solid foundation, reducing the risk of the dumper tipping over or sliding. Turning off the engine eliminates the risk of accidental movement caused by mechanical failure or operator error, while engaging the parking brake further ensures that the machine remains stationary.

By contrast, parking on unstable ground introduces unnecessary hazards, as the dumper could shift or tip over. Keeping the engine running would also contribute to safety risks and potential emissions hazards. Parking on an incline primarily to drain fluids can lead to riskiness, as it could make the machine unstable. Lastly, leaving the dumper in a busy area does not enhance security and increases the likelihood of accidents or tampering. Therefore, the chosen practice of parking in a stable environment, with the engine off and the parking brake engaged, is the most effective way to ensure safety and security for the dumper when it is not in operation.
