Precautions for Handling Flammables
•
Spilled fuel and oil, and trash, grease, debris,
accumulated coal dust, and other flammables may
cause fires.
•
Prevent fires by inspecting and cleaning the machine
daily, and by removing spilled or accumulated
flammables immediately.
•
Don't store flammable fluid near open flames.
•
Don't burn or crush a pressurerized container.
•
Don't store oily cloths. They are liable to catch fire.
•
Don't wind easy-to-absorb-oil asbestos or glass wool
around high-temperature parts such as a muffler or
exhaust pipe.
Check Heat Shield Covers around Engine
Compartment
•
If the engine compartment heat shield cover becomes
broken or lost, fire may break out.
•
If the engine compartment heat shield cover becomes
broken or lost, repair or replace it before operating the
machine.
Check Key Switch:
•
If fire breaks out, failure to stop the engine will escalate
the fire, hampering fire fighting.
•
Always check key switch function before operating the
machine every day:
1) Start the engine and run it at slow idle.
2) Turn the key switch to the OFF position to confirm
that the engine has stopped.
•
If any abnormalities are found, be sure to repair them
before operating the machine.
