1.3 PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE PREVENTION
WHAT TO DO IF A FIRE OCCURS
• Turn the starter switch OFF to stop the engine.
• Get out of the machine by using a handrail and steps.
• Do not jump off the machine. You may fall and get hurt.
PREVENTING FIRE
•
Fire caused by fuel, oil, anti-freezing fluid, or wind-washer
liquid
Attempt to let a fire approach the fuel, oil, anti-freezing fluid, or
wind-washer liquid may result in catching fire. Strictly observe the
following.
• Do not smoke or use fire near the machine.
• Before refueling, be sure to stop the engine.
• Do not leave the site when replenishing the fuel or oil.
• Close and securely tighten the cap of fuel tank and hydraulic oil
tank.
• Do not spill fuel on an overheated surface and parts of electric
system.
• After refueling, cleanly wipe off spilt fuel and oil.
• Put rags and other combustibles smeared with oil in a safe
container and store it in a safe place.
• Use incombustible cleaning oil for the objects such as the
components, and do not use diesel fuel, petrol or anything else
that may catch fire.
• Do not weld or gas flame-cut piping and tubing containing
flammable solutions.
• Store the fuel and oil in a specified well-ventilated location and
prohibit public access.
• Before performing grinding or welding of the machine, move
inflammables to a safe place.
•
Fire due to deposition or adherence of combustibles.
• If any of such combustibles as dead leaves, chips, paper litters,
and charcoal dust is deposited on or sticking to the peripheral
area of engine exhaust manifold, muffler, battery or under-cover,
remove it.
• To prevent fire caused by bonfire sparks or other types of fire that
can be caught, remove such combustibles as dead leaves, chips,
paper litters, and charcoal dust that may be deposited on or
sticking to the peripheral area of cooling units (radiator and oil
cooler).
•
Fire originating from electric wiring
Fire may be incurred by a short-circuit of electric system. Strictly
observe the following.
• Keep every connection of electric wiring clean and fix it securely.
• Check for any loosening or damage of electric wiring on a daily
basis, and if any loosened connector or wiring clamp is found,
re-tighten it and repair or replace any damaged electric wiring.
•
Fire originating from piping
Check the clamps and cushions of each hose and tubing to ensure
that they are securely fixed. Any loosening may give rise to vibration
during operation, rubbing with other parts to damage hose, or
spouting of high pressure oil, resulting in fire or physical injury.
•
Explosion triggered by lighting fixture
• When inspecting fuel, oil, battery electrolyte and coolant water,
use a lighting apparatus of explosion-proof specifications.
• When disconnecting power source from the machine, follow the
instructions described in this manual.
