Evacuating In Case Of Fire; Beware Of Exhaust Fumes; Precautions For Welding And Grinding - Hitachi ZW140-6 Operator's Manual

Evacuating in Case of Fire

 If a fire breaks out, evacuate the machine in the following
way:
 Stop the engine by turning the key switch to the OFF
position if there is time.
 Use a fire extinguisher if there is time.
 Exit the machine.
 In an emergency, if the cab door can not be opened,
break the front or rear window panes with the emergency
evacuation hammer to escape from the cab. Refer to the
explanation pages on the Emergency Evacuation Method.

Beware of Exhaust Fumes

 Prevent asphyxiation. Engine exhaust fumes can cause
sickness or death.
 If you must operate in a building, be sure there is
adequate ventilation. Either use an exhaust pipe
extension to remove the exhaust fumes or open doors
and windows to bring enough outside air into the area.
 PM (Particle Matter) combustion may generate white
smoke during aftertreatment device regeneration. Do
not attempt to perform aftertreatment device manual
regeneration in a badly ventilated indoors.

Precautions for Welding and Grinding

 Welding may generate gas and/or small fires.
 Be sure to perform welding in a well ventilated and
prepared area. Store flammable objects in a safe place
before starting welding.
 Only qualified personnel should perform welding.
Never allow an unqualified person to perform welding.
 Turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position
before performing welding on the machine.
 Grinding on the machine may create fire hazards. Store
flammable objects in a safe place before starting grinding.
 After finishing welding and grinding, recheck that there are
no abnormalities such as the area surrounding the welded
area still smoldering.
