PREVENT FIRES
Check for Oil Leaks:
• Fuel, hydraulic oil and lubricant leaks can lead to
fires.
• Check for oil leaks due to missing or loose
clamps, kinked hoses, lines or hoses that rub
against each other, damage to the oil-cooler, and
loose oil-cooler flange bolts.
• Tighten, repair or replace any missing, loose or
damaged clamps, lines, hoses, oil-cooler and
oil-cooler flange bolts.
• Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines.
• Never install bent or damaged lines, pipes, or
hoses.
Check for Shorts:
• Short circuits can cause fires.
• Clean and tighten all electrical connections.
• Check before starting work for loose, kinked,
hardened or frayed electrical cables and wires.
• Check before starting work for missing or
damaged terminal caps.
• DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE if cable or wires
are loose, kinked, etc..
Clean up Flammables:
• Spilled fuel and oil, and trash, grease, debris, ac-
cumulated coal dust, and other flammables may
cause fires.
• Prevent fires by inspecting and cleaning the
machine daily and by removing spilled or
accumulated flammables immediately.
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.
