Rollaway can occur because the transmission may not prevent machine movement. Lock the brake pedals together before activating the parking brake. FIRE PREVENTION MAINTENANCE The machine and some implements have components that are at high temperatures under normal operating conditions. The primary source of high temperatures is the engine and exhaust system. The electrical system, if damaged or incorrectly maintained, can be a source of arcs or sparks. Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be removed regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to accumulate, it can cause a fire hazard. Clean often to avoid this accumulation. Flammable debris in the engine compartment is a potential fire hazard. The operator s area, engine compartment and engine cooling system must be inspected every day and cleaned if necessary to prevent fire hazards and overheating. All fuels, most lubricants and some coolants mixtures are flammable. Flammable fluids that are leaking or spilled onto hot surfaces or onto electrical components can cause a fire. OPERATION Do not use the machine where exhaust, arcs, sparks or hot components can contact flammable material, explosive dust or gases. ELECTRICAL Check all electrical wiring and connections for damage. Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Repair or replace any damaged part or wires that are loose or frayed. Battery gas can explode and cause serious injury. Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for connecting the battery and for jump starting. Do not jump start or charge a frozen or damaged battery. Keep any open flames or sparks away from batteries. Do not smoke in battery charging area. 9

10 SAFETY FUELING Stop the engine and let it cool before adding fuel. No smoking! Do not refuel a machine near open flames or sparks. Fill the fuel tank outdoors. STARTING Do not use ether or starting fluids on any engine that has glow plugs. These starting aids can cause explosion and injure you or bystanders. Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for connecting the battery and for jump starting. SPARK ARRESTOR EXHAUST SYSTEM The spark arrestor exhaust system is designed to control the emission of hot particles from the engine and exhaust system, but the muffler and the exhaust gases are still hot. Check the spark arrestor exhaust system regularly to make sure it is maintained and working properly. Use the procedure in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for cleaning the spark arrestor muffler (if equipped). WELDING AND GRINDING Always clean the machine and implement, disconnect the battery, and disconnect the wiring from the controllers before welding.
