This symbol in The manual refers to a special risk involved in taking a certain measure,
due to which extra caution shall be practised.
6. Fire safety
Two factors are needed to start a fire: flammable material and ignition. Oxygen is always
available. In the forest highly flammable dust accumulates in and on the harvester. Clean the
harvester periodically. Oil and fuel leaks also increase the risk of fire. Repair any detected
defects immediately. The engine and the exhaust pipes, the electric system in case of a short
circuit and overheated brakes pose a real risk of fire.
The harvester comes with two 6-kilo hand extinguishers. They are stored above the rear
wheel inside the side guard that opens rearwards. The extinguishers shall be inspected every
6 months by an authorized service outlet.
The harvester may be equipped with a semi-automatic fire extinguishing system. Make sure
to comply with the manufacturer’s instructions when using the system.
Before driving the harvester on a public road, make sure that harvester is correctly equipped
and applies to the local regulations and laws given for such a vehicle.
Machine operator have to be trained to drive and use harvester safely.
