Did daily oil check on TM but I must have caught the Live cable from Battery to starter whilst sliding machine cover back on.
Anyhow, turned up at job and fired machine up to warm up while I ran hoses into house only to find minutes later smoke coming out of machine. I immediately turned machine off and pulled machine cover back to find live cable had moved onto exhaust diverter box and was well on fire also totally severed through and sparks everywhere!!. Panic set in as I had just filled up with petrol but luckily I was able to extinguish fire.
Whole lot could so easily gone up in flames and just makes you realise how important it is to check machine over and also carry a fire extinuisher.
Anyhow managed to get porty over to do job and guess what todays job is? New cables!!
