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.
Replace fuel hoses and hydraulic hoses periodically even
if there is no abnormality in their external appearance.
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.
Never attempt to modify electric wirings.
Clean up Flammable Materials:
Spilled fuel and oil, and trash, grease, debris, accumulated
coal dust, and other flammables may cause fires.
Prevent fires by inspecting and cleaning the machine
daily, and by removing adhered oil or accumulated
flammables immediately. Check and clean high
temperature parts such as the exhaust outlet and
mufflers earlier than the normal interval.
Do not wrap high temperature parts such as a muffler or
exhaust pipe with oil absorbents.
Do not store oily cloths as they are vulnerable to catching
fire.
Keep flammables away from open flames.
Do not ignite or crush a pressurized or sealed container.
Wire screens may be provided on openings on the engine
compartment covers to prevent flammable materials
such as dead leaves from entering. However, flammable
materials which have passed through the wire screen
may cause fires. Check and clean the machine every
day and immediately remove accumulated flammable
materials.
