Fire and Explosion
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).
