• Drive the machine with care. Make sure speed is
compatible with conditions. Use caution on rough
ground, slopes, and while turning.
• When moving the machine, adjust speed and direction
of travel for the terrain and ground conditions present.
Always consider adjusting travel speed to match
ground conditions.
• Be alert for hazards and obstructions such as ditches,
trees, cliffs, overhead power lines, and areas where
there is danger of a slide.
• Be aware of and understand the job site traffic flow
patterns.
• Obey flagmen, road signs, and signals.
• Watch for bystanders. Never allow anyone to be
under the machine during operation. Never allow
anyone to reach into the machine during use.
• Operator must know how to use signaling devices
when operating paver in traffic conditions. Operator
must also understand which circumstances require
use of each signal. Use tail lights, slow-moving vehicle
signs, and warning beacon as needed when traveling
on public roads. It is recommended that you provide
an escort on the road.
• DO NOT tow the paver, except to remove from road or
to load on trailer.
Poor Visibility
Increasingly, asphalt maintenance equipment is used
during less than ideal lighting conditions such as fog
and smog or at night. These conditions present safety
hazards for workers, bystanders and passing traffic.
When operating under restricted light
conditions, equip the machine with special lighting to
prevent serious injury.
While the machine is equipped with a beacon and a
work light, contact your authorized LeeBoy dealer for
additional lighting packages if working under these
conditions.
Use reflective tape on the sides of machines when
working at night. Ensure all workers wear reflective
safety vests. Use impact barriers (movable or
stationary) to protect workers and direct the traffic flow
safely away from the work site.
Storage Precautions
• Store paver in an area away from human activity.
• DO NOT permit children to play on or around the
stored machine. Serious injury or death can occur
from improper/unauthorized use of the machine.
• Make sure the unit is stored on a surface that is firm,
level, and free of debris.
• Store the machine inside a building or cover securely
with a weatherproof tarpaulin.
Maintenance Precautions
• DO NOT attempt repairs unless trained to do so.
Refer to manuals and experienced repair personnel
for help.
• Before working on the machine, securely block the
machine and any components that may fall. Block
any working components to prevent unexpected
movement while repairs are being made.
• Always wear safety glasses and other required safety
equipment when servicing or making repairs.
• Disconnect battery before working on the electrical
system.
• Avoid lubrication or mechanical adjustments while the
paver is in motion or while engine is operating.
• If lubrication or mechanical adjustment is necessary,
use extreme caution and complete the following
steps:
1. Place Forward/Reverse control in neutral.
2. Apply neutral lock.
3. Lower screed to ground.
4. Shut off engine.
5. Place equipment in a safe position.
6. Securely block wheels and tracks.
• Never make repairs on pressurized components such
as fluid lines, the gas system, or mechanical items until
the pressure has been relieved.
• When servicing or replacing hardened pins, use a
brass drift or other suitable material between the
hammer and pin.
• Keep brake and steering systems in good operating
condition.
