Prevent Fires
Check for Oil Leaks:
Fuel, hydraulic oil and lubricant leaks can lead to fires.
Check for oil leaks due to missing or loose clamps,
kinked hoses, lines or hoses that rub against each other,
damage to the oil-cooler, and loose oil-cooler flange
bolts.
Tighten, repair or replace any missing, loose or
damaged clamps, lines, hoses, oil-cooler and oil-cooler
flange bolts.
Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines.
Never install bent or damaged lines, pipes, or hoses.
Replace fuel hoses and hydraulic hoses periodically
even if there is no abnormality in their external
appearance.
Check for Shorts:
Short circuits can cause fires.
Clean and tighten all electrical connections.
Check before each shift or after eight (8) to ten (10)
hours operation for loose, kinked, hardened or frayed
electrical cables and wires.
Check before each shift or after eight (8) to ten (10)
hours operation for missing or damaged terminal caps.
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE if cable or wires are loose,
kinked, etc.
Never attempt to modify electric wirings.
Clean up 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 adhered oil or accumulated
flammables immediately. Check and clean high
temperature parts such as the exhaust outlet and
mufflers earlier than the normal interval.
Do not wrap high temperature parts such as a muffler or
exhaust pipe with oil absorbents.
Do not store oily cloths as they are vulnerable to
catching fire.
Keep flammables away from open flames.
Do not ignite or crush a pressurized or sealed container.
Wire screens may be provided on openings on the
engine compartment covers to prevent flammables
such as dead leaves from entering. However,
flammables which have passed through the wire screen
may cause fires. Check and clean the machine every day
and immediately remove accumulated flammables.
The temperature around the engine may tend to
become higher with wire screens. Be careful of the
overheat.
