General Safety Instructions
The operation of a Bituminous Distributor normally requires handling of liquid products at elevated tempera-
ture. Also, these liquids may be of a volatile nature. A heating system is supplied to raise or maintain the product
temperature, and these systems use highly combustible fuels. As with any type of construction equipment, there are
certain hazards associated with careless or improper operation.
Safety warnings have been provided to call attention to any potentially hazardous situation that may cause
property damage, personal injury or death to the operator or bystanders. These safety warnings will be shown at
various times throughout this manual, as they are applicable to the subject being presented. These safety warnings are
identified by the following warning symbols:
Safety Precautions, Hazard Seriousness Level
You will find safety information boxes throughout this manual. These boxes contain information alerting you to
situations or actions to avoid.
Signal words (DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION) are used to identify levels of hazard seriousness. Their
selection is based on the likely consequence of human interaction with a hazard. Definitions of hazard levels are as
follows.
DANGER - Immediate hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in severe personal injury or
death.
CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in minor personal injury or prod-
uct or property damage.
All of these warnings are listed below and they also appear throughout the manual. In addition to these, you will
find notes throughout the manual.
NOTE - A note provides general information that the operator should be aware of when performing
an operation.
DANGER
To avoid an extreme fire hazard or explosion,
NEVER use gasoline as fuel in low pressure or
generating burners.
WARNING
A fully charged dry chemical type fire
extinguisher must be within easy reach
whenever the burners are operating or there is
an open flame near the distributor. The
minimum capacity of the fire extinguisher
should be 10 pounds.
