Clean up Flammables: Spilled fuel and oil, and trash, grease, debris, accumulated coal dust, and other flammables may cause fires. • Prevent fires by inspecting and cleaning the machine daily and by removing spilled or accumulated flammables immediately.

Always check key switch function before operating the ma- chine 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 stops. • If any abnormalities are found, be sure to repair them be- fore operating the machine. 508-E02B-0019 Check Heat Shields: Damaged or missing heat shields may lead to fires. • Damaged or missing heat shields must be repaired or re- placed before operating the machine. 508-E02A-0393 S-26
