Carry a suitable fire extinguisher.

A fire can ignite under certain conditions, so please take the following precautions:

After running your machine for a short time, check for defective

bearings. A faulty bearing can become very hot, eventually

discolouring, requiring immediate replacement.

Do not allow combustible material to accumulate inside guards or

around rollers and other moving parts.

If your machine becomes blocked, stop immediately and remove

the obstruction.

Be careful when operating in hot or dry conditions or on extreme

fire risk days.

Never operate your machine without the safety

guards in place.

All chains should be properly

adjusted and replaced when

necessary.

Release all hydraulic pressure from

implements before commencing service

work. Never look for suspected oil leaks

with your hands or body - use a piece of

cardboard instead.

have to be removed immediately by a

medical expert. Seek specialist advice

on this type of injury.

Never attempt to unblock equipment while it is

still operating.

Always disengage power take-off, hydraulics and

shut down engine before removing materials,

checking or servicing.

Failure to follow these precautions is likely to

result in serious injury.

be snagged by rotating machinery resulting in serious

injury or death.
