1.1 General Safety
Use Professional Training
Operating painting equipment requires profes-
sional training, including safe work practices and
procedures. Only professionally trained personnel
should be allowed to setup, operate, or maintain
this equipment. If you have not completed the Hog
Technologies training course you will be a danger
to yourself and others.
Always Read Instructions
Read this manual and all other equipment opera-
tion manuals and instructions prior to using any
Hog Technologies product. Contact Hog Technolo-
gies (877-HOG ROAD) should any questions arise.
Major Component Operation Manuals
The suppliers of some major components such
as the truck chassis, air compressor, pumps, and
heater, provide their own operation manuals which
have been included with your equipment. Before
operating this equipment, you should read the in-
formation in this manual and the manuals of other
manufacturers completely and have a thorough
understanding of all component systems and their
proper operation.
REMEMBER - IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
TO ENSURE THAT YOUR EQUIPMENT IS SAFE
FOR YOU AND YOUR CREW. ALWAYS EXER-
CISE GOOD JUDGMENT WHEN INSTALLING
OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT AND WHILE OP-
ERATING PAVEMENT MARKING EQUIPMENT.
Work Area Safety
Remember, safety is first! Only set up to work in
areas properly protected from traffic and other
hazards. Individuals being struck by vehicles or
mobile equipment lead to many work zone fatali-
ties or injuries. Work zones need traffic controls
identified by signs, cones, barrels and barriers.
You should always wear high visibility clothing
with a fluorescent background and made of retro-
reflective material to be more visible to motorists
and reduce the possibility of an accident. Work
stations should always be illuminated.
Outfit all operators with proper safety apparel.
Always use eye protection to shield from projected
debris and ear protection to protect from noise. It
is very important to wear boots that provide good
traction on slippery surfaces.
Never wear loose clothing. Loose clothing can get
caught on moving or rotating parts causing serious
injury or even death.

ate noise levels above 90 dB. Hearing protection
