SAFETY Check Heat Shield Covers around Engine Compartment If the engine compartment heat shield cover becomes broken or lost, fire may break out. If the engine compartment heat shield cover becomes broken or lost, repair or replace it before operating the machine. Check Key Switch: If 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 slow idle. 2) Turn the key switch to the OFF position to confirm that the engine has stopped. If any abnormalities are found, be sure to repair them before operating the machine.
Evacuating in Case of Fire If fire breaks out during machine operation, evacuate the machine in the following way: Stop the engine by turning the key switch to the OFF position. Use a fire extinguisher if there is time. Exit the machine using handrails and/or steps. In an emergency, if the cab door or front or rear window can not be opened, break the front or rear window panes with the emergency evacuation hammer to escape from the cab. Refer to the explanation pages on the Emergency Exit. SA-393 SS-1510 S-27
