Fire protection and explosion proof
Prevent fire caused by the fuel oil or engine oil
The fuel oil, engine oil, antifreeze and window washing are very
flammable dangerous goods. To prevent the fire, the follow
regulations must be followed:

Do not smoke or use any open fire near the fuel oil or engine
oil.

Before oil filling, shut down the engine.

When filling the fuel oil and the engine oil, do not leave the
machine.

Tighten the caps of the fuel oil tank and the engine oil tank.

Prevent the fuel oil overflow to the overheat surface or the
parts of the electrical system.

Ensure good ventilation in the oil filling or storage places.

The fuel oil or engine oil shall be kept in the designated
places, and no entrance without permission.

After filling the fuel oil or engine oil, wipe off the fuel oil or
engine oil overflowed.

When grinding or welding on the lower part of the machine,
transfer all the flammable materials to the safe places.

When flushing the parts with the engine oil, use the
inflammable engine oil. It is banned to use the diesel and
gasoline to flush the parts to avoid fire.

Put the towel sticking with oil or other flammable materials into the safe vessel.

Do not weld or use the cutting torch to cut the pipe with flammable liquid.
Prevent the fire caused by the piling of the flammable materials

Remove the leaves, weeds, dry wood chips, paper scraps, dust or other flammable materials piled or
stuck in the engine, exhaust pipe, silencer, accumulator cell and the engine cover.
Prevent the fire caused by the electrical wires

Prevent the fire caused by the short circuit of the electrical system.

Keep the connections for the electrical wires clean and fixed firmly every day.

Check the electrical wires for looseness or damage, timely tighten the loose connections or wire
clamps, repair or replace the damaged electrical wires immediately.
Prevent the fire caused by the hydraulic pipelines

Check all of the clamps, shields and the buffer pads of the hoses and pipes for fixedness, during
operating, if the parts of the hydraulic pipelines are loose, they will rub with other parts to cause
damage for the hoses, result in the high pressure oil spraying and cause fire.
Prevent explosion caused by the lighting equipment

When checking the fuel oil, engine oil, battery electrolyte, window cleaning solution and the cooling
liquid, use the lighting equipment with explosion proof performances, if not to use such equipment, it
is dangerous to cause serious injury by the explosion.

When using the power supply of the machine for lighting, the related regulations in this manual shall
be followed.
Activities when there is a fire
