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.
Check Key Switch:
If a fire breaks out, failure to stop the engine will escalate
the fire, hampering fire fighting.
Always check key switch function before operating the
machine every day:
1. Start the engine and run it at slow idle.
2. Turn the key switch to the OFF position to confirm that
the engine stops.
If any abnormalities are found, be sure to repair them
before operating the machine.
Check Heat Shields:
Damaged or missing heat shields may lead to fires.
Damaged or missing heat shields must be repaired or
replaced before operating the machine.
If hydraulic hoses are broken while the engine cover is
open, splattered oil on the high temperature parts such
as mufflers may cause fire. Always close the engine cover
while operating the machine.
