  • any build up of crop residue around the engine, exhaust system, belts and chains;
  • damaged exhaust system components;
  • worn or badly frayed drive belts;
  • broken or exposed electrical wiring;
  • the odor of burning electrical wiring;
  • worn or mis-aligned moving parts, which can indicate the lack of lubricant; and
  •  signs of leaking fluids, oil and fuel.

Only you can prevent wildfires!
