FIRE PREVENTION (CONT'D)
Welding And Grinding
Always clean the tractor and equipment, disconnect
the battery, and disconnect the wiring from the
equipment controls before welding. Cover rubber
hoses, battery and all other flammable parts. Keep a
fire extinguisher near the equipment when welding.
Have good ventilation when grinding or welding
painted parts. Wear dust mask when grinding painted
parts. Toxic dust or gas can be produced.
Dust generated from repairing nonmetallic parts such
as hoods, fenders or covers can be flammable or
explosive. Repair such components in a well ventilated
area away from open flames or sparks.
Fire Extinguishers
Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are
located and how to use them. Inspect the fire
extinguisher and service the fire extinguisher regularly.
Obey the recommendations on the instructions plate.
