GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES 9.8 FIRE PREVENTION AND FIRE FIGHT- ING Fuel, oil, and antifreezing compound are highly inflammable and could cause a fire. Do not approach inflammable material with naked light. Prior to refuelling, switch off the engine and stop smoking. Refuelling and refilling of oil are to be performed in sufficiently ventilated places. Store oil and fuel in special places appropriate for this pur- pose. Ensure that unauthorised persons do not have access to these places. Tightly close all cover caps. Check the fuel system, the lubrication system, and the hydrau- lic system for leaks. Have leaks repaired. Remove any excess oil, fuel, or other inflammable substances.
Carefully and completely remove wooden chippings, leaves, paper, and other highly inflammable materials that may have collected in the engine compartment, since they could cause a fire. A fully operational fire extinguisher must be available at hand. The fire extinguisher is located in the compartment under the driver's seat. Do not operate the machine in the vicinity of naked light. 21
