FIRE AND EXPLOSION PREVENTION
FIG. 7: 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.
Fire may cause personal injury and property damage.
Remove all flammable materials such as fuel, oil, and
debris from the tractor.
Do not allow any flammable materials to accumulate on
the tractor.
Store fuels and lubricants in properly marked containers
away from unauthorized persons. Store oily rags and any
flammable materials in protective containers.
Do not smoke in areas that are used for storing flammable
materials.
Do not operate the tractor near any flame.
Exhaust shields protect hot exhaust components from oil
spray or fuel spray in case of a break in a line, in a hose,
or in a seal. Exhaust shields must be installed correctly.
Do not weld on lines or on tanks that contain flammable
fluids. Do not flame cut lines or tanks that contain
flammable fluid. Clean any such lines or tanks thoroughly
with a nonflammable solvent prior to welding or flame
cutting.
Check all electrical wires daily. Repair any wires that are
loose or frayed before you operate the tractor. Clean all
electrical connections and tighten all electrical
connections.
Dust that is generated from repairing nonmetallic hoods
or nonmetallic fenders can be flammable and/or
explosive. Repair such components in a well ventilated
area away from open flames or sparks.
Inspect all lines and hoses for wear or for deterioration.
The hoses must be properly routed. The lines and the
hoses must have adequate support and secure clamps.
Tighten all connections to the recommended torque.
