SAFE OPERATION
25.To prevent fires, keep the muffler and its surroundings
clear of anything flammable and keep clean at all
times.
26.Fire prevention
Wheel Loader and some attachments have
components that are at high temperatures under
normal operating conditions. The primary source of
high temperatures is the engine and exhaust system.
The electrical system, if damaged or incorrectly
maintained, can be a source of arcing or sparks. The
following fire prevention guidelines will help to keep
your equipment up and running efficiently and keep
the risk of fire to a minimum.
A
Blow off all accumulated debris near hot engine
exhaust components such as exhaust manifold as
well as exhaust pipes and muffler more frequently
when working in severe conditions.
A
Clean out all accumulated flammable debris such
as leaves, straw, pine needles, branches, bark,
small wood chips and any other combustible
materials from inside the machine belly pans or
lower unit structures as well as from area in
proximity to the engine.
A
Inspect all fuel lines and hydraulic hoses for wear
or for deterioration. Replace them immediately if
they begin to leak.
A
Examine electrical wiring and connectors
frequently for damage. Repair any wires that are
loose or frayed before operating the machine.
Clean all electrical connections and tighten all
electrical connections as necessary.
A
Inspect the exhaust system daily for any signs of
leakage. Check for broken pipes and muffler and
also for loose or missing bolts, nuts and clamps. If
any exhaust leaks or fractured parts are found,
repairs must be completed prior to operation.
A
Always keep a multipurpose fire extinguisher on or
near the machine. Be familiar with the operation of
the fire extinguisher.
