3.3.2 Fire safety measures
The tractor shall be equipped with firefighting equipment, i.e. a shovel and a dry powder
fire extinguisher.
OPERATING THE TRACTOR WITHOUT FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT IS FORBIDDEN.
The tractor shall be filled with fuel and greases by a mechanized way and with the engine
stopped. Use lighting at night time. It is not recommended to use buckets for filling the tanks.
DO NOT FUEL THE TRACTOR WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING.
DO NOT SMOKE WHEN FUELING THE TRACTOR.
Do not fuel the tank to the max. Leave min 3 % of the tank volume for the fuel to expand.
Never add petrol or mixtures to the diesel fuel. These combinations may create in-
creased danger of inflammation or explosion.
Places for tractor parking, storing of fuel and greases shall have a plowed band around
of not less than 3 m width and also be provided with fire extinguishing means.
During repair and welding works, proceed as follows:
- turn off the accumulator battery disconnect switch;
- remove plant debris from parts and assembly units;
- detach wires from the battery terminals. Insulate the wire tips to avoid accidental con-
tact with the battery terminals;
- if it is necessary to carry out welding work on the tractor close to any electrical com-
ponent, this component shall be removed for the time of welding;
- earth the welding machine as close to the place of welding as possible;
- after completion of welding, observe polarity when connecting the wires to the termi-
nals of the battery.
Prevent the manifold and muffler from contamination with fuel, thatch, etc.
Avoid thatch winding around rotating parts of the tractor and the implements coupled
with the tractor.
When washing parts and assembly units with kerosene, gasoline or diesel fuel, take
care to exclude a possibility of inflammation of flushing fluid vapor.
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO OPERATE THE TRACTOR IN PLACES SUBJECTED TO FIRE
RISK WITH THE FACING AND PROTECTIVE UNITS REMOVED.
Do not use open fire to warm up oil in the engine sump, to fill in fuel tanks, to burn out
dirt in a radiator cell and in other units of the tractors.
In case fumigation or a fire occurs, stop the tractor immediately, kill the engine and turn
the battery switch off. To liquidate the fire use a dry-powder fire extinguisher or pour some
sand onto it, cover with tarpaulin, sackcloth or other dense cloth. Do not pour water over burn-
ing fuel and oil.
Make sure there are no flammable materials near the exhaust manifold and the muffler
during engine running.
Harvesting hay and thatch, operating at places with enhanced danger of fire, avoid
amassment of inflammable materials on a muffler guard and on gas links.
During the daily maintenance you are to perform the following obligatory operations:
- inspect the condition of wiring, wire harnesses in the engine compartment and in the
area of the front wall of the cabin and also the condition of visible parts for abrasion, thermal
reflow or destruction of outer insulation. In the case the listed defects are discovered, take
measures to eliminate the identified insulation faults as well as the cause that triggered the in-
sulation faults;
- inspect the hydraulic components. In case there is sweat and leakage, it should be
eliminated by tightening the threaded connections. Pipes and high-pressure hoses having
cracks, cuts or damages shall be replaced.
To avoid burning of the tractor wiring, never use fuse cutouts for higher current rates
than those specified in subsection 2.17 “Cutout fuses”.
DO NOT INSTALL WIRE BRIDGES AND OTHER CURRENT CONDUCTIVE ELE-
MENTS MADE BY HANDICRAFT TECHNIQUE, TO REPLACE FUSE CUTOUTS.
Turn the AB off when your work with the tractor is finished.
