FIRE PREVENTION AND FIRST AID
FIG. 4: Be prepared for emergencies. Always carry one
or more suitable fire extinguishers (1) - ABC rating, dry
chemical, 2.2 KG (5 lb). Check fire extinguishers regularly
to ensure they are properly charged and in operating
condition.
Mounting a fire extinguisher near the operator cab and a
fire extinguisher near the engine compartment is
recommended.
FIG. 5: To reduce the risk of fire or damage if fire occurs:
• Check for overheated components.
• Frequently clean the engine compartment of any
chaff and crop debris.
• Frequently clean areas of the machine & header
where crop can accumulate.
• Mount a fire extinguisher within easy reach at the
front and rear of the machine.
If any flame cutting, welding, or arc welding is to be done
on the machine or header, make sure to clear any crop
material or debris from around the area. Make sure the
area below the work area is clear of any flammable
material as falling molten metal or sparks can ignite the
material.
