Fire prevention
Wheel loader and some attachments equip
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.
– Blow off all accumulated debris near hot
engine-exhaust-components
such
as
turbocharger and exhaust manifold as well as
EGR tube, exhaust pipes, and muffler more
frequently when working in severe conditions.
– 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.
– 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.
– Examine the 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.
– Inspect the exhaust system daily for any signs
of leakage. Check for broken pipes and muffler

dealer for repairs.
– Always keep a multipurpose fire extinguisher on
or near the machine. Be familiar with the
operation of the fire extinguisher.
