WARNING
Using the machine in environments with high risk of fire or explosion requires special training and equipment.

There is always a risk of fire. Find out what kind of fire extinguisher is used on your working site and how to use it. If the machine
is equipped with a fire extinguisher, it should be kept inside the cab on the left side of the operator.
If the machine is to be provided with a hand-held fire extinguisher, it should be of the ABE type (ABC in North America). The
designation ABE means that it is possible to extinguish fires in both solid organic material and liquids, and that the fire
extinguishing compound does not conduct electricity. Efficiency class I means that the effective operating time of the
extinguisher must not be less than 8 seconds, class II at least 11 seconds and grade III at least 15 seconds.
A hand-held fire extinguisher ABE I normally corresponds to a powder content of 4 kg (8.8 lb) (EN-grade 13A89BC), standard EN
3-1995, parts 1, 2, 4 and 5.
Fire prevention measures

Do not smoke or have an open flame near a machine when filling with fuel or when the fuel system is opened and in
contact with the surrounding air.
Diesel fuel oil is flammable and must not be used for cleaning. Use conventional car care products meant for cleaning
or degreasing. Also bear in mind that certain solvents can cause skin rashes, damage to the paint finish and constitute
fire hazard.
Keep the place clean where the service is to be carried out. Oil and water can make the floor slippery and is also
dangerous in connection with electrical equipment or electrically powered tools. Oily and greasy clothes are a serious
fire hazard.
Check daily that the machine and the equipment, for example underbelly plates are free from dust and oil. Besides
reducing the risk of fire, it is also easier to detect faulty or loose components.
NOTE!
Take great care if a high-pressure wash is used for cleaning. Electrical components and electrical leads can be damaged
even at a moderately high pressure and temperature. Protect electrical leads in an appropriate way.

Take extra care when cleaning a machine working in a fire-sensitive environment, for example saw-mill and refuse
dumps. The risk of spontaneous combustion can be further reduced by installing insulation of the silencer guard.
It is important that the fire extinguisher is maintained in order to work when it is needed.
Check that fuel lines, hydraulic and brake hoses and electrical cables have not been damaged by chafing or are not in
danger of being damaged in that way because of incorrect installation or clamping. This applies particularly to unfused
cables, which are red and marked R (B+) and routed:

between the batteries


between battery and starter motor
between alternator and starter motor
Electrical cables must not lie directly against oil or fuel lines.

Do not weld or grind on components which are filled with flammable liquids, for example tanks and hydraulic pipes.
Exercise care with such work also in the proximity of such places. A fire extinguisher should be kept near to hand.

Actions in case of fire


If the circumstances permit and your own safety is not jeopardised, take the following steps at the slightest sign of fire:

1. Stop the machine, if the machine is in motion.


2. Lower attachments to the ground.
3. Move the control lockout lever to locked position, if so equipped.
4. Turn the ignition switch to stop position.
5. Exit the cab.
6. Call the fire brigade.
7. If possible to access safely, turn off the battery disconnect switch.
8. Attempt to put out the fire, if possible. Otherwise, move away from the machine and out of the danger zone.

Actions after fire


When handling a machine which has been damaged by fire or been exposed to intense heat, the following protective
measures must be followed:

Use thick, protective gloves made of rubber and wear goggles.


Never touch burnt components with your bare hands in order to avoid contact with melted polymer materials. First
wash thoroughly with plenty of lime water (a solution consisting of calcium hydroxide, that is slaked lime in water).
Handling heated fluoro-carbon rubber, see page Handling hazardous materials.
