PREVENT FIRES
Check for Oil Leaks:
• Fuel, hydraulic oil and lubricant leaks can lead to
fires.
• Check for oil leaks due to missing or loose clamps,
kinked hoses, lines or hoses that rub against each
other, damage to the oil-cooler, and loose
oil-cooler flange bolts.
• Tighten, repair or replace any missing, loose or
damaged clamps, lines, hoses, oil-cooler and
oil-cooler flange bolts.
• Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines.
• Never install bent or damaged lines, pipes, or
hoses.
Check for Shorts:
• Short circuits can cause fires.
• Clean and tighten all electrical connections.
• Check before each shift or after eight(8) to ten(10)
hours operation for loose, kinked, hardened or
frayed electrical cables and wires.
• Check before each shift or after eight(8) to ten(10)
hours operation for missing or damaged terminal
caps.
• DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE if cable or wires
are loose, kinked, etc..
Clean up Flammables:
• Spilled fuel and oil, and trash, grease, debris, ac-
cumulated coal dust, and other flammables may
cause fires.
• Prevent fires by inspecting and cleaning the ma-
chine daily and by removing spilled or accumu-
lated flammables immediately.
Check Key Switch:
• If a fire breaks out, failure to stop the engine will
escalate the fire, hampering fire fighting.
Always check key switch function before operating
the machine every day:
1. Start the engine and run it at slow idle.
2. Turn the key switch to the OFF position to confirm
that the engine stops.
• If any abnormalities are found, be sure to repair
them before operating the machine.

Check Heat Shields:
• Damaged or missing heat shields may lead to fires.
• Damaged or missing heat shields must be re-
paired or replaced before operating the machine.
