Safety Handle Starting Fluid Safely Starting fluid is highly flammable. Keep all sparks and flame away when using it. Keep starting fluid away from batteries and cables. To prevent accidental discharge when storing the pressurized can, keep the cap on the container, and store in a cool, protected location. TS1356 —UN—18MAR92 Do not incinerate or puncture a starting fluid container. Do not use starting fluid on an engine equipped with glow plugs or an air intake heater. DX,FIRE3 -19-14MAR14-1/1 In Case of Fire CAUTION: Avoid personal injury. Stop machine immediately at the first sign of fire. Fire may be identified by the smell of smoke or sight of flames.
Because fire grows and spreads rapidly, get off the machine immediately and move safely away from the fire. Do not return to the machine! The number one priority is safety. TS227 —UN—15APR13 Call the fire department. A portable fire extinguisher can put out a small fire or contain it until the fire department arrives; but portable extinguishers have limitations. Always put the safety of the operator and bystanders first. If attempting to extinguish a fire, keep your back to the wind with an unobstructed escape path so you can move away quickly if the fire cannot be extinguished. 1. Pull the pin. Hold the extinguisher with the nozzle pointing away from you, and release the locking mechanism.
Read the fire extinguisher instructions and become familiar with their location, parts, and operation before a fire starts. Local fire departments or fire equipment distributors may offer fire extinguisher training and recommendations. 2. Aim low. Point the extinguisher at the base of the fire. 3. Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly. 4. Sweep the nozzle from side-to-side. If your extinguisher does not have instructions, follow these general guidelines: DX,FIRE4 -19-22AUG13-1/1 10-5 070717 PN=24
