Rosco Maximizer 3B Asphalt Distributor
Operation
Combating Poor Visibility
Increasingly, asphalt maintenance equipment is being
used during less than ideal light conditions, such as fog,
smog and at night. Using the equipment during these
conditions presents safety hazards to the workers,
bystanders and passing traffic. People can be injured
or killed by the equipment, passing traffic or distractions
caused by road work.
If you will be operating the machine
under less than ideal light conditions, the unit should
be equipped with special lighting. Such lighting
will help prevent serious personal injury, as well as
damage to machine and property.
To help combat these hazards, the equipment must
be equipped with front and rear lighting options, back
up lights and shielded rotating beacons. The shielding
protects the operator’s vision and prevents eye strain.
Use reflective tape on the sides of all machines that may
be used at night.
Be sure that all personnel wear reflective vests. Use
impact barriers (movable or stationary) to protect the
workers from traffic and help direct the traffic flow away
from road hazards.
Washdown
It is extremely important that the components, lights,
reflectors and safety decals on the Maximizer 3B are
kept clean and visible.
Rosco recommends the use of biodegradable cleaning
solvents (
).
Fire Hazard! Never spray cleaning
solvent or release agent near a heating element or
near any open flame or source of ignition. Do not
operate Burner System during cleaning! Cleaning
solvent and release agent could ignite causing
serious personal injury.
When using washhdown, consider the
environment and do not allow cleaning solvent to run
onto the ground.
