est operating procedure.
• Make the ground surface as level as possible before carrying
out any operation.
• In case of work on the road, protect pedestrians and cars by
designating a person for work site traffic duty and install fences
around the work site.
• If water lines, gas lines, and telephone or high-voltage electri-
cal lines are located under the work site, contact the relevant

• Completely remove all wood chips, rubbish, paper and other
flammable materials that may have accumulated inside the en-
gine compartment, since they can cause fires.

essary repair them. Wipe up any excess oil, fuel or other flam-
mable fluids.
• Make sure that fire extinguishers are available in the work ar-
ea.

far as the floor is concerned, remove any excess dirt (earth, stones, etc.).
