Spilled fuel and oil, and trash, grease, debris,
accumulated coal dust, and other flammables may
cause fires.
•
Prevent fires by inspecting and cleaning the machine
daily, and by removing spilled or accumulated
flammables immediately.
•
Do not store flammable fluid near open flames.
•
Do not burn or crush a pressurerized container.
•
Do not store oily cloths. They are liable to catch fire.
•
Do not wind easy-to-absorb-oil asbestos or glass wool
around high-temperature parts such as a muffler or
exhaust pipe.
Check Heat Shield Covers around Engine
Compartment
•
If the engine compartment heat shield cover becomes
broken or lost, fire may break out.
•
If the engine compartment heat shield cover becomes
broken or lost, repair or replace it before operating the
machine.
Check Key Switch:
•
If fire breaks out, failure to stop the engine will escalate
the fire, hampering fire fighting.
•
Always check key switch function before operating the
machine every day:
1) Start the engine and run it at slow idle.
2) Turn the key switch to the OFF position to confirm
that the engine hasstopped.
If any abnormalities are found, be sure to repair
them before operating the machine.
