MACHINE PRECAUTIONS
Hot Material Precautions
• Wear protective gear for face, hands, feet, and body
when operating the paver.
• Allow machine to cool before repairing or maintaining
working components.
• If hot asphalt touches skin, flush area immediately with
cold water. DO NOT apply ice to the affected area.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ASPHALT CEMENT
with products containing solvents or ammonia.
Natural separation will occur in about 48 to 72 hours.
Get medical attention as soon as possible.
• DO NOT remove radiator cap, drain plugs, service
grease fittings, or pressure taps while engine is hot.
Add coolant to the radiator and perform other services
only when the engine is stopped and fully cooled.
Hydraulic Systems Precautions
• Ensure all components are in good working condition.
Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened or crimped
hoses and metal lines.
• DO NOT attempt makeshift repairs using tape, clamps
or cements. The hydraulic system operates under
extremely high pressure and such repairs could
cause serious injury.
• Wear proper hand and eye protection when checking
for a high pressure leak. Use a piece of wood or
cardboard as a back stop to isolate and identify leaks.
Hydraulic oil under pressure can
cause serious personal injury. Check for oil leaks
with a piece of cardboard. DO NOT expose hands to
possible high-pressure oil. Turn off engine before
attempting to tighten oil lines and fittings.
• Escaping pressurized hydraulic fluid has force
sufficient to penetrate the skin,
which could cause
serious personal injury. Ensure all pressure is
relieved before disconnecting line, hoses or valves.
• If injury from concentrated high pressure steam
or hydraulic fluid occurs, seek medical attention
immediately. Injuries resulting from hydraulic fluid
penetrating the skin’s surface can result in serious
infections or toxic reactions.
Refueling Precautions
• Do NOT overfill the fuel tank as overflow creates a fire
hazard when spilled on hot components.
• DO NOT smoke when refueling and never refuel when
the engine is running. Fuel is highly flammable and
should be handled with care. Death or serious injury
can occur due to explosion and/or fire.
• DO NOT fill tank to capacity. Allow room for expansion
to reduce the risk of fuel expanding and spilling from
the tank.
• Tighten fuel cap securely. Should fuel cap be lost,
replace it with an original manufacturer’s approved
cap. Pressurization of the tank may result from use of
non-approved cap.
• Prevent fires by keeping the machine clean of
accumulated debris, grease, and spilled fuel.
• Use ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD) only.
Battery Precautions
• Keep all sparks and flames away from batteries, as
gas given off by electrolytes is explosive.
• Acid propelled by an explosion can cause blindness
if it comes in contact with eyes. Always wear safety
glasses when working near batteries.
• If you come in contact with battery electrolyte solution,
wash off immediately. Chemicals can cause burns.
• Always disconnect the battery ground cable before
working on the electrical system to avoid injury from
spark or short circuit. Electrical shock and burns can
occur.
• To avoid electrolyte loss, DO NOT tip batteries more
than 45 degrees.
• Use jumper cables ONLY as directed on Page
5-? . Improper use can result in battery explosion or
unexpected paver motion.
