FIRE PREVENTION

Maintenance

The machine and some equipment have components that are at high temperatures under normal operating conditions. The primary source of high temperatures is the gearboxes. 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.

Operation

The Farm King machine must be in good operating condition before use.

Hydraulic System

Check hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for damage and leakage. Never use open flame or bare skin to check for leaks. Hydraulic tubes and hoses must be properly routed and have adequate support and secure clamps. Tighten or replace any parts that show leakage.
Always clean fluid spills. Do not use gasoline or diesel fuel for cleaning parts. Use commercial nonflammable solvents.
Check all of the items listed on the service schedule under the 8 hour column. (See “SERVICE SCHEDULE” on page 104.)
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. 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.
