FIRE PREVENTION AND FIRST AID
FIG. 4:
Be prepared for emergencies. Always carry one
or more suitable fire extinguishers (ABC rating), dry
chemical, 2.2 Kg (5 lb). Check fire extinguishers regularly
to be sure the fire extinguishers are properly charged and
in operating condition.
Mounting a fire extinguisher near the operator's cab and a
fire extinguisher near the engine compartment is
recommended.
To reduce the risk of fire, frequently remove accumulated
crop material from the machine, engine deck, header and
check for over heated components. Check the machine
daily for any noises that are not normal. Such noises can
indicate a failed bearing that can cause heat build up.
Keep a first aid kit handy for treatment of minor cuts and
scratches.
FIG. 5:
To reduce the risk of fire or damage if fire occurs:
•
Make sure the engine compartment is free of chaff
and crop debris
•
Clean areas of the machine and header where crop
can accumulate
•
Mount a fire extinguisher with easy reach at the front
and rear of the machine
If any flame cutting, welding, or arc welding is to be done
on the machine or header make sure to clear any crop
material or debris from around the area. Make sure the
area below the work area is clean of any flammable
material as falling molten metal or sparks can ignite the
material.
