Safe operating procedure against fire
Treat the liquid safely
a)
Handle the fuel with care, since it is highly flammable. If fuel is ignited, it will explode and cause a
fire and person’s casualty.
1)
When smoking or being near the spark or burning object, don’t add
fuel to the machine.
2)
Before refilling, you must stop the engine.
3)
Refill the fuel outdoors.
4)
Static electricity can produce spark at the fuel inlet.
b)
When the weather is cold and dry or there is possible static electricity,
always keep fuel inlet contact with fuel supply pipe to guarantee a good earth.
a)
All the fuel, majority of lubricant and some cooling agents are flammable.
1)
Store the flammable liquid away from where there is fire danger.
2)
Don’t burn or pierce pressured container.
3)
Don’t save oil-contained rag, which can be ignited or burning automatically.
4)
Tighten the cover of fuel tank or other liquid tank, it is forbidden to start the equipment before
tightening.
Guard against a fire disaster
a)
Check leakage: the leakage of fuel, hydraulic oil and lubricant may lead
to a fire disaster.
1)
Check the loss or loose of pipe clamps, the distortion of hoses, mutual
friction between pipes and hoses, the damage on fuel cooler and the
loose of flange screw of fuel cooler to avoid the leakage.
2)
Tighten, repair or change any pipe clamp, pipe, hose, fuel cooler and
flange screw of fuel cooler which have been lost, flexible or damaged.
3)
Don’t bend or knock high-pressure pipe.
4)
Don’t install any bending or damaged pipes or hoses.
b)
Check short circuit: it may lead to a fire disaster.
1)
Clean and tighten all the electric connection.
2)
Before every shift or after 8-10 hours’ operation, check if the cables and electric wires have been
loose, distorted, hardened or broken.
3)
Before every shift or after 8-10 hours’ operation, checks if the terminal covers have been lost or
damaged.
4)
If the cables and electric wires have been loose or distorted, don’t operate the machine.
c)
Remove flammable objects: a fire can be causes by some flammable things such as splashed fuel,
hydraulic oil, anti-freeze fluid, washing fluid, garbage, lubricant, oddment, deposited cinder and etc.
check and clean the machine everyday, remove splashed or deposited flammable things timely to
avoid a fire.
