SAFETY
(Continued)
• It is essential that operators be thoroughly
trained in the safe operation of the paver. Such
training should be presented completely to all
new operators and not condensed for those
claiming previous experience.
• Some illustrations in this manual may show
doors, guards and shields open or removed.
This is for illustration purposes only. Be sure
that all doors, guards and shields are in their
proper operating positions before starting the
engine to operate the paver.
Pre-operation Safety Reminders
• Always wear personal protective equipment
appropriate for the job and working conditions.
Hard hats, safety glasses, protective shoes,
gloves, reflective vests, respirators and ear
protection are examples of types of equipment
that may be required. Do not wear loose-fitting
clothing, long hair, jewelry or loose personal
items while operating or servicing the paver.
• Always check the job site for obstructions and
bystanders.
• Always perform a daily inspection of the paver
before using it. Look for damage, loose or
missing parts, leaks, etc.
• Walk around the paver and warn all nearby
personnel before starting the paver.
Operation Safety Reminders
• Do not use ether or other starting fluids to start
the paver engine. Doing so may void the
engine warranty.
• Do not attempt to move hot asphalt mix with
your hands or feet. Contact with hot asphalt
can cause serious skin burns.
• Do not allow minors or any unqualified
personnel to operate or be near the paver
unless properly supervised.
• Do not operate the paver in an enclosed area
without adequate ventilation. Internal
combustion engines deplete the oxygen supply
within enclosed spaces and may create a
serious hazard unless the oxygen is replaced.
• Do not leave the paver unattended with the
engine running. Always lower the hopper to
“full down” position, shut off the engine, and
place all controls in neutral before leaving the
paver.
• Do not jump off the paver. Do not dismount
from the paver while it is moving.
• Check paver for proper functioning of controls
before operating. Observe all gauges and
instruments, and correct any malfunctions
before operating.
• Do not lift the hopper if pushing a dump truck
with the paver. Damage to the paver/truck may
result.
Service Safety Reminders
• Never use your hands to search for hydraulic
fluid leaks. Use a piece of paper or cardboard
instead. Escaping fluid under pressure can be
invisible and can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injury. If any fluid is injected into your
skin, see a doctor at once. Injected fluid must
be surgically removed by a doctor familiar
with this type of injury or gangrene may result.
• Never attempt to bypass the keyswitch to start
the engine. Only use the jump starting
procedure described in this manual. See
“Jump-starting” on page 57.
• Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
• Always position the safety props up when
leaving the hopper raised for inspection,
cleaning or service.
