Prevention of fire Prevention of fire
The following actions should be taken to minimize the risk
of fire :
·
Do the visual inspection before operating the machine to
check for any risk of fire.
·
Do not operate the machine if there is a risk of fire.
·
Be sure to identify the primary exit and alternative exit of
the machine, and fully understand how to use the exits in
the event of a fire.
·
Do not perform any welding or drilling work on the engine
cover.
(Keep the engine compartment free from the build-up
of inflammable materials such as dead leaves, small
branches, paper, and other types of trash.)
·
Keep the covers of the major parts of the machine closed.
Make sure that the covers operate normally in order to
use firefighting equipment in the event of a fire.
·
Be careful when handling fuel. Fuel is a highly inflammable
material.
·
Always stop the engine when refueling the machine.
·
Remove any build-up of inflammable materials from the
machine.
Do not operate the machine near a naked flame.
·
All fuels and most lubricant and coolant mixtures are
inflammable materials, so special care should be exercised
when handling such materials to prevent fire and explosion.
·
Keep all fuels and lubricant in adequate containers.
·
Never smoke in the area where refueling is taking place
or in the space for handling battery electrolytes and other
inflammable materials.
·
Oil leaked to a hot surface or electronic component may
cause a fire.
·
Do not operate the machine if there is an oil leak.
Repair the source of the oil leak, and wipe clean any leaked
oil before operating the machine.
·
Keep the electric connectors clean at all times, and check
the connections for signs of loosening at regular intervals.
·
Do not weld or take a flame cutting pipe or tube through
which gas or any inflammable fluid must flow. Check
every pipe or tube for signs of abrasion and deterioration,
and replace it if damaged.
·
Dust or particles generated when repairing the non-
metallic hood or fender are inflammable or explosive.
Repair such parts in a ventilated area well away
from flames or sparks, and be sure to wear suitable
PPE(Personal Protective Equipment).
