SAFETY 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 low 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 repaired or replaced before operating the machine.
If hydraulic hoses are broken while the engine cover is open, splattered oil on the high temperature parts such as mufflers may cause fire. Always close the engine cover while operating the machine. Evacuating in Case of Fire If a fire breaks out, evacuate the machine in the following way: Stop the engine by turning the key switch to the OFF position if there is time. Use a fire extinguisher if there is time. Exit the machine. If the cab doors do not open, break them with a hammer to make an escapeway. In an emergency, if the cab door can not be opened, break the front or rear window panes with the emergency evacuation hammer to escape from the cab.
