General Safety Measures

FIRE PREVENTION AND FIRE FIGHTING

Fuel, oil, and antifreezing compound are highly inflammable and could
cause a fire.
Do not approach inflammable material with naked light.
Prior to refuelling, switch off the engine and stop smoking.
Refuelling and refilling of oil are to be performed in sufficiently ventilated
places.
Store oil and fuel in special places appropriate for this purpose. Ensure
that unauthorised persons do not have access to these places.
Tightly close all cover caps.
Check the fuel system, the lubrication system, and the hydraulic system
for leaks. Have leaks repaired. Remove any excess oil, fuel, or other
inflammable substances.
Carefully and completely remove wooden chippings, leaves, paper,
and other highly inflammable materials that may have collected in the
engine compartment, since they could cause a fire.
A fully operational fire extinguisher must be available at hand.
Do not operate the machine in the vicinity of naked light.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND FIRST-AID KIT
The fire extinguisher is located on the rear cab frame on the left inside
the operator's cab. Two fasteners are provided on the lower left strut
of the cab for fastening the fire extinguisher in place.
If, in the course of certain operations, there is danger of fire, fire
extinguishers must be at hand. Familiarise with the use of the fire
extinguishers.
Inform yourself on measures to be taken in the event of a fire.
The first-aid kit is located in the compartment under the driver's seat.
Make sure that you know all telephone numbers of the persons that
you need to contact in an emergency.
