This machine has several components which are at high temperatures under normal operating conditions, such as
the engine, exhaust system, brake system and transmission.
Also, the electrical system (battery, electrical connectors, etc.) can be a source of arcs or sparks if damaged or
incorrectly maintained.
Excessive debris will increase the condition for a fire hazard. Flammable debris (twigs, leaves, straw, rags, etc.)
must be removed on a daily basis

on a daily basis or more often if necessary from areas such as the engine, exhaust, battery,
electrical connectors, parking brake components, transmission area and belly pan, drive line, fuel, hydraulic and
brake systems.
Clean the machine often - periodic high pressure washing of the machine is suggested, especially if flammable
liquid spills have occurred.
The following list provides data
which will help to prevent fires.
- Do not use the machine in areas
with explosive dust or gases.
These elements can be ignited by
arcs, sparks, hot components, or
exhaust fumes.
- Inspect the cab, engine
compartment, and engine
cooling system every day. Clean
if necessary to prevent
overheating. Remove all
flammable material (rags, debris,
fluid spills, etc.)
- Inspect all electrical wiring and
connections for damage daily.
Keep the battery terminals clean
and tight. Replace or repair any
damaged part.
- Daily, inspect all fuel and
hydraulic oil tubes, hoses,
and fittings for damage and
leakage. Tighten or replace
as necessary. Always clean
fluid spills.
- Do not use ether or starting
fluids on diesel engines with glow
plugs. These starting aids can
explode and injure bystanders.
