SECTION 1
SAFETY
Operational Safety (cont’d)
Pressing the emergency stop button (e.g. when someone enters the danger zone, when the machine is no longer under
control, etc.) causes the drive motors, the screed motor and the steering system to be switched off. The paver brakes to a
standstill. Before the paver can be started up again, the cause of the malfunction must be determined and the malfunction
eliminated. The machine must then be started up again as described in the operating instructions.
Regular maintenance of the hydraulic system is important. These machines operate with high oil pressure. Minor damage or
a crack in a hose or connection can have devastating consequences. Bear in mind that hydraulic hoses are made of rubber,
which means that they age over time and that this can cause cracks to start forming. If there is the least doubt about the
durability of hoses, or if damage is detected caused by mechanical wear, replace the hoses using genuine AEC hoses. Never
store hoses for excessively long periods: hoses need to be used while still relatively new.
Bear in mind that the hydraulic system may be pressurized even after the machine has been shut down and parked. Always
work on completely depressurized systems. During any inspection of the hydraulic system, you must wear protective gog
-
gles and gloves at all times. You are advised to use a piece of cardboard to find any signs of leakage – never reach in with
your hand to feel for leaks.
