Fire prevention
Using the machine in environments with high risk of
fire or explosion requires special training and
equipment.
There is always a risk of fire. Find out what kind of
fire extinguisher is used on your working site and
how to use it. If the machine is equipped with a fire
extinguisher, it should be kept inside the cab.
If the machine is to be provided with a hand-held
fire extinguisher, it should be of the ABE type (ABC
in North America). The designation ABE means that
it is possible to extinguish fires in both solid organic
material and liquids, and that the fire extinguishing
compound does not conduct electricity. Efficiency
class I means that the effective operating time of the
extinguisher must not be less than 8 seconds, class
II at least 11 seconds and grade III at least 15
seconds.
A hand-held fire extinguisher ABE I normally
corresponds to a powder content of 4 kg (8.8 lb)
(EN-grade 13A89BC), standard EN 3-1995, parts
1, 2, 4 and 5.
Fire prevention measures
Do not smoke or have an open flame near a
machine when filling with fuel or when the fuel
system is opened and in contact with the
surrounding air.
Diesel fuel is flammable and must not be used for
cleaning. Use conventional car care products
meant for cleaning or removing grease. Also bear
in mind that certain solvents can cause skin
rashes, damage to the paint finish and constitute
fire hazard.
Keep the place clean where the service is to be
carried out. Oil and water can make the floor
slippery and is also dangerous in connection with
electrical equipment or electrically powered tools.
Oily and greasy clothes are a serious fire hazard.
Check daily that the machine and the equipment,
for example underbelly plates are free from dust
