and actions!
The following alerts, prohibitions and instructions refer to the risks to which people, machinery and en-
vironment are exposed.

1.2 Warning instructions
A paving machine has many components and implements that are controlled by a hydraulic system, ei-
ther directly or indirectly. Before working on or inspecting any part of a paving machine, it is important
that the individual knows how the components move and are controlled by the hydraulic system compo-
nents including the respective control circuits.
Before working on or inspecting any component, it must be physically constrained from any movement
that chould cause injury to the worker. The worker must be alert to not placing any part of his/her body
where movement of a component could cause injury, unless that component is physically constrained
from movement, if the hydraulic system fails, is disconnected, or is asignaled to cause movement.
It must also be recognized that there are occasions where component and or vehicle movement may
react to the release of potential energy. Where applicable it must be confirmed that all measures are
employed to ensure that any and all sources of potential energy are released and/ or physically re-
strained.
It is also the responsibility of those involved to insure that all local, state and federal safety regulations
are followed, prior to, and during any work or inspection.
