Fire Prevention
Maintenance
• The machine and some equipment 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 arcs or sparks.
• Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be
removed regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to
accumulate, it can cause a fire hazard. Clean often
to avoid this accumulation. Flammable debris in the
engine compartment is a potential fire hazard. The
operator’s area, engine compartment and engine
cooling system must be inspected every day and
cleaned if necessary to prevent fire hazards and
overheating.
• All fuels, most lubricants and some coolant mixtures
are flammable. Flammable fluids that are leaking
or spilled onto hot surfaces or onto electrical
components can cause a fire.
Operation
• The Farm King machine must be in good operating
condition before use.
• Check all of the items listed on the service schedule
under the 8 hour column before operation. (See
Maintenance section)
• Do not use the machine where exhaust, arcs, sparks
or hot components can contact flammable material,
explosive dust or gases.
Starting
• Do not use ether or starting fluids on any engine
that has glow plugs. These starting aids can cause
explosion and injure you or bystanders.
• Use the procedure in the tractor’s operator’s manual
for connecting the battery and for jump starting.
Skid Steer Safety
• Read and understand the operator’s manual before
using the skid steer. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations and specifications when
operating.
• Always lower the bucket or attachment so that it is
flat on the ground.
• Do not leave the operator’s position while the engine
is on.
• Keep all body parts inside the cab while operating a
skid-steer loader.
• Never modify, bypass, disable, or override safety
systems.
• Never operate equipment in which safety systems
have been modified or are not working properly.
• Equipment with modified or malfunctioning safety
systems should be taken out of service until repaired
or replaced.
• Never permit riders on the skid-steer attachment, or in
the operator’s compartment unless the compartment
is designed to accommodate a second rider.
• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the work
area.
• Do not attempt maintenance or other work while
lift arms or attachments are raised without using an
approved lift arm support device. Replace protective
guards and shields after repairs or service.
• Train personnel on the proper inspection, use,
maintenance, and repair of skid-steer loaders
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Train personnel to identify hazards, such as safety
systems that have been bypassed, disabled, or that
require maintenance.
