If a Fire Occurs If a fire occurs: Do not attempt to move machine or continue operations. Turn starter switch to "O" (OFF) position to stop engine. Use handrails, guardrails and steps to get off machine. Immediately call for help or fire station. When using a fire extinguisher, always aim extinguisher at base of fire. FG018459 Figure 16 If an optional fire extinguishing system is in place, be familiar with its operating procedures.

It is recommended that an appropriately sized (2.27 kg [5 lb] or larger) multipurpose A/B/C fire extinguisher be mounted in cabin. Check and service fire extinguisher at regular intervals and make sure that all work site crew members are adequately trained in its use.

Keep a first aid kit in storage compartment (Figure 18) and keep another kit at work site. Check kit periodically and keep it properly supplied.
