Fire protection
There is always a risk of fire. Find out which type fire extinguisher
that is used at your place of work and how it is used.
If the machine is to be provided with a hand-held fire extinguisher,
it should be of the ABE (in North America ABC) type. The
designation ABE means that it is possible to extinguish fires in both
solid and liquid organic material and that the fire extinguishing
compound does not conduct electricity. The efficiency class I
means that the time the extinguisher is effective must not be less
than 8 seconds, class II at least 11 seconds and class III at least
15 seconds.
A hand-held fire extinguisher ABE I normally corresponds to an
extinguishing powder content of 4 kg (8.8 lb) (EN-grade 13A89BC),
the EN 3-1995 standard, parts 1, 2, 4 and 5.
Preventive fire protection
Q
Do not smoke and make sure that there is no open flame near
the machine when filling with fuel or when the fuel system has
been opened and in contact with the surrounding air.
Q
Diesel fuel is flammable and must not be used for cleaning. Use
car care products intended for cleaning or degreasing. Also
bear in mind that certain solvents may cause skin rash, damage
the paint finish and constitute a fire hazard
Q
Keep the place where the service is to be carried out clean.
Oil and water may make the floor slippery and are also
dangerous in connection with electrical equipment or electrical
tools. Oily or greasy clothes are a serious fire hazard.
Q
Check daily that the machine and the equipment, e.g.
underbody plates are free from dust and oil. In addition to that
the risk of fire is reduced it will be easier to detect faulty or loose
components.
NOTE! Observe great care when using high-pressure wash
when cleaning. Electrical components and electrical cables
may be damaged even at moderately high pressure and
temperature. Protect electrical leads in an appropriate way.
Q
Take extra care when cleaning a machine that is used in a fire-
sensitive environment, e.g. sawmill and refuse dumps. The risk
of spontaneous combustion can be further reduced by, for
example, installing insulation around the silencer guard.
Q
It is important that the fire extinguisher is maintained so that it
works when it is required.
WARNING!
If a machine is used in an environment, where the risk of
fire is particularly high, e.g. in explosive environment,
special equipment is required.
