Fire hazard
• Fuel, lubricants, grease and coolants are flammable.
• Do not use flammable detergents.
• Keep the area around the exhaust system free of flammable materi-
als.
• Hot vehicle parts and exhaust gases increase the risk of fire.
– Stop and park the vehicle only in safe areas.
• If the vehicle is equipped with a fire extinguisher, have it installed in
its specific location.
• Keep the vehicle clean. This reduces fire hazards.

Working near electric supply lines
• Before performing any work, the operator must check whether there
are any electrical supply lines in the designated work area.
• If there are electrical supply lines, only a vehicle with cab may be
used (Faraday cage).

• If this is not possible, the operator must initiate other safety measures
in agreement with the owner or operating company of the supply lines
(e.g. shutdown the power).
• If supply lines are exposed, they must be fastened, supported and se-
cured accordingly.
• If live supply lines are touched nevertheless:
– do not leave or touch the cab (Faraday cage).
– If possible, drive the vehicle out of the danger zone.
– Warn others against approaching and touching the vehicle.
– Have the live wire de-energized.
– Do not leave the vehicle until the supply lines that have been
touched or damaged have been safely de-energized.

• Before performing any work, the operator must check whether there
are any non-electrical supply lines in the designated work area.

supply lines (e.g. shutdown the supply line).

cured accordingly.
