FIRE PREVENTION
This machine has several components which are at high temperatures under normal operating conditions, such as
engine, exhaust system, brake system and transmission. Also, electrical system (battery, electrical connectors, etc.)
can be a source of arcs or sparks if damaged or incorrectly maintained.
Excessive debris will increase the condition for a fire hazard. Flammable debris (twigs, leaves, straw, rags, etc.) must
be removed on a daily basis

on a daily basis or more often if necessary from areas such as the engine, exhaust, battery, electrical
connectors, parking brake components, transmission area and belly pan, drive line, fuel, hydraulic and brake systems.
Clean machine often. Periodic high pressure washing of machine is suggested, especially if flammable liquid spills
have occurred.
The following list provides data which
will help to prevent fires.
-
Do not use machine in areas with
explosive dust or gases. These
elements can be ignited by arcs,
sparks, hot components or fumes.
-
Inspect cab, engine
compartment, and engine cooling
system every day. Clean if needed
to prevent overheating. Remove all
flammable material (rags, debris,
fluid spills, etc.)
-
Inspect electrical system
for damage daily. Keep battery
terminals clean & tight. Replace or
repair any damaged part.
-
Daily, inspect all fuel and
hydraulic oil tubes, hoses, and fittings
for damage and leakage. Tighten or
replace as needed. Always clean
fluid spills.
-
Allow machine to cool down by
idling engine for a while before
shutdown. Many engine and
transmission fires start after shut-
down. This waiting time can be used
to inspect machine and perform
certain maintenance procedures.
-
Keep fire extinguisher, water
hose connected to water tank, and
first aid kit where easily reached in
case of fire and keep these items
properly maintained.
-
Operating personnel should
be instructed on what to do in case of
fire and be required to demonstrate
use of fire extinguisher and fire
suppression equipment.
-
Any portable extinguisher or
fire suppression system carried on
machine that has been used, must be
recharged or replaced before
machine resumes operating.
Extinguisher manufacturers
recommended service interval
should be followed.
-
Do not use ether or starting
fluids on diesel engines with glow
plugs. These starting aids can
explode and injure bystanders.
-
Before doing welding of any
kind, clean machine and disconnect
battery cables. Cover rubber hoses,
battery, & other flammable parts.
Never ground arc welder or electrical
accessories through machine
components as arcing may occur
causing bearing damage. Keep fire
extinguisher nearby.
