Recommended Fire Prevention

The machine must be inspected periodically throughout the harvest day. Buildup of crop material and other debris must be removed to ensure proper machine function and to reduce the risk of fire.

Regular and thorough cleaning of machine combined with other routine maintenance procedures listed in the Operators Manual greatly reduces the risk of fire, chance of costly downtime, and improves machine performance.

Always follow all safety procedures posted on the machine and in the Operator’s Manual. Before carrying out any inspection or cleaning, always set park brake, shut OFF engine, and remove key.

Your machine is equipped with a general-purpose fire extinguisher and a pressurized water fire extinguisher. The extinguisher must be checked daily when entering or exiting the cab and when working around machine to ensure that it is in working condition. Fire extinguishers must be replaced or professionally serviced after any usage.
