Fire Prevention
The ST-50 has components that
operate at high temperatures.
Steps must be taken to make
sure that flammable items are
kept clear of these components
during operation. Failure to do
so may result in a fire.
The main heat sources in the
vehicle are the engine and the
exhaust system. The electrical
system could also be a source
of heat/sparks if damaged or
poorly maintained.
In some work environments,
flammable items may come in
contact with these sources. It is
very important that these flam-
mable items be removed often
from areas close to hot compo-
nents. If debris is allowed to
accumulate, a fire may result
posing a risk to the operator and
the machine. A fire can cause
machine damage, severe injury
or even death.
Listed are a set of precautionary
tasks that should be performed
daily or more often if necessary.
Repair or replace worn or dam-
aged components as needed to
ensure safe machine operation.
Precautionary Tasks:
• With the engine off and cool,
remove any debris present in
the engine compartment.
Remove the belly pans and
pressure wash this area as
needed to clean it properly.
• Check the battery, fuse box,
electrical wiring and connec-
tion points for damage or
looseness.
• Check fuel lines for leaks or
damage. Never allow open
flame near fuel or fuel system
components.
• Check hydraulic lines, hoses
and fittings for damage or
leaking fluid. Never use bare
hands to check for leaks.
Pressurized fluid can pene-
trate skin and cause injury or
even death.
