Working with high temperatures
Immediately after operating the machine, engine oil and hydraulic
oil are very hot and are under pressure. Wait until the temperature
has dropped before performing work on the machine.
Lower the equipment and turn off the engine. Allow the hydraulic
oil to cool before you open the engine bonnet. Slowly untwist the
screw cap so that the pressure can escape from the tank
(radiator).
Observe that the parts in the engine compartment have high
surface temperatures (e.g. exhaust system, engine, hoses, ...).
Always use suitable personal protective equipment.
Fire prevention and fire-fighting
Fuels and oil are easily inflammable and can cause fires.
Do not come near inflammable materials with an open flame.
Turn off the engine before refuelling and do not smoke.
Perform refuelling or refilling of oil in a sufficiently ventilated
location.
Close all screw caps tightly.
Check the fuel system and hydraulic system for leaks. Have leaks
repaired immediately.
When near highly combustible objects such as straw or hay, there
is a risk of fire from flying sparks or high surface temperatures of
the exhaust system.
Remove wood chips, straw and other highly combustible objects
which can collect in the engine compartment and on the exhaust
system. They can cause a fire.
Do not operate the machine near open fire.
