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 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 coolant mixtures are
flammable. Flammable fluids that are leaking or spilled
onto hot surfaces or onto electrical components can
cause a fire.
Operation
The Farm King machine must be in good operating
condition before use.
Check all of the items listed on the service schedule
under the 8 hour column. (See “SERVICE SCHEDULE”
on page 69.)
Do not use the machine where exhaust, arcs, sparks or
hot components can contact flammable material,
explosive dust or gases.
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 tractor’s operator’s manual for
connecting the battery and for jump starting.
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.
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.
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.
Spark Arrester Exhaust System
The spark arrester 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 arrester exhaust system regularly to
make sure it is maintained and working properly. Use the
procedure in the machine’s Operator And Parts Manual
for cleaning the spark arrester muffler (if equipped).

Safety - Fertilizer Applicator 1460
19
Welding And Grinding
Always clean the machine and equipment, disconnect
the battery, and disconnect the wiring from the machine
controls before welding. Cover rubber hoses, battery and
all other flammable parts. Keep a fire extinguisher near
the machine when welding.
Have good ventilation when grinding or welding painted
parts. Wear dust mask when grinding painted parts.
Toxic dust or gas can be produced.
Dust generated from repairing nonmetallic parts such as
hoods, fenders or covers can be flammable or explosive.
Repair such components in a well ventilated area away
from open flames or sparks.
Fire Extinguishers
Know where fire extinguishers and first aid kits are
located and how to use them. Inspect the fire
extinguisher and service the fire extinguisher regularly.
Obey the recommendations on the instructions plate.
