Safety and other measures during maintenance of the machine
3.1.2
Safety and fire precautions during replacement of operating fluids
Considering the fire danger, the flammable liquids and gases used on the machine are divided into the following hazard classes: •
hazard class I – propane-butane (LPG)
•
hazard class II – diesel fuel
•
hazard class IV – mineral oils, lubricating greases
The oil change area must be located so that it does not interfere with any explosion or fire hazard area. It must be identified by the tables and marks with “No smoking” signs and signs prohibiting the use of naked fire. The handling area must be dimensioned so that it can catch a volume of flammable liquid equal to the capacity of the biggest, transport container. It must be equipped with portable fire extinguishers. To handle the oil, diesel and other operating fluids use such vessels such as metal barrels, jerrycans or sheet-metal cans. The transport containers must be properly closed during storage. Containers must only be provided with one hole, always stored with the hole up and secured so that their content cannot flow out and drip off. Containers must be marked by non-removable texts stating the contents and flammability classes.
