Starting and Stopping
Precautions
• Check all around the paver to make sure there are no
people working on the machine or in the path of the
machine before starting. DO NOT start until area is
clear. Death or serious injury can occur to bystanders
from being crushed under a moving machine.
• Check brakes, steering and other control devices in
accordance with instructions before starting. Be sure
both steering levers (joysticks) are in neutral with the
neutral lock engaged.

enclosed area without proper ventillation. Exhaust
gasses are odorless and deadly.

steering levers in neutral and lock. Apply the parking
brake (if this optional comonent is installed). Park the
paver with wheels securely blocked on grades.

Operating Precautions
• Always comply with local regulations regarding
moving equipment on public roads and highways.

state and local regulations. Make sure that they are
clean, in good working order, and can be seen clearly
by all traffic.
• DO NOT stand between the equipment and the truck
while the truck is being backed to the paver. Death or
serious injury can result from being crushed between
the two machines.
• DO NOT ride on attachments.
• Check all gauges and warning instruments for proper
operation. If malfunctions are found, shut down the
machine and report the problem for resolution. If the
failure causes loss of steering control, loss of brake
control, or loss of engine power, stop paver motion as
quickly as possible. Apply parking brake (if equipped).
Keep the machine securely parked until the failure is
corrected or the machine can be safely towed.

trees, cliffs, overhead power lines, and areas where
there is danger of a slide.

patterns.

• 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 roading with a paver. 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.
