Fire Extinguisher

A 9.5 L (2-1/2 gal) pressurized-water fire extinguisher can be mounted in the holes that are provided on the baler. (See your John Deere dealer.)

Equip the baler with a water-type fire extinguisher. Extinguisher should be properly charged and easily accessible in an emergency. Large capacity water fire extinguishers are recommended because application of water can cool hot parts to prevent a fire. If a fire does occur, water will help drown the flame and cool off hot parts, to prevent the fire from rekindling. Train operators on proper use of the extinguisher and the need to keep it charged at all times. if baler is subject to cold weather, use an approved nonflammable anti-freeze solution to prevent damage.
