FIRE PREVENTION
Maintenance
The tractor 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 equipment must be in good operating
condition before use.
Check all of the items listed on the service schedule
under daily checks (see SERVICE SCHEDULE on page
95).
Do not use the tractor 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.
Electrical
Check all electrical wiring and connections for
damage. Keep the battery terminals clean and tight.
Repair or replace any damaged part or wires that are
loose or frayed.
Battery gas can explode and cause serious injury. Do
not jump start or charge a frozen or damaged battery.
Keep any open flames or sparks away from batteries.
Do not smoke in battery charging area.
Hydraulic System
Check hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for damage
and leakage. Never use open flame or bare skin to
check for leaks. Hydraulic tubes and hoses must be
properly routed and have adequate support and secure
clamps. Tighten or replace any parts that show
leakage.
Always clean fluid spills. Do not use gasoline or diesel
fuel for cleaning parts. Use commercial nonflammable
solvents.
Fueling
Stop the engine and let it cool before adding fuel. No
smoking! Do not refuel the tractor near open flames or
sparks. Fill the fuel tank outdoors.
