EXHAUST GASES AND FIRE PREVENTION

Engine exhaust fumes can be very harmful if allowed to
accumulate. Be sure to run the engine in a well-ventilated area
where there are no people or livestock nearby.
•
The exhaust gas from the muffler is very hot. To prevent a fire,
do not expose dry grass, oil or any other combustible
materials to exhaust gas. Keep the engine and mufflers clean
all the time.
•
To avoid a fire, be alert for leaks of flammables from hoses
and lines. Be sure to check for leaks from hoses and pipes,
such as fuel and hydraulic by following the maintenance check
list.
•
To avoid a fire, do not short across power cables and wires.
Check to see that all power cables and wires are in good condition. Keep all power connections
clean. Bare wire or frayed insulation can cause a dangerous electrical shock and personal injury.
