SAFETY
(Continued)
• Always wear safety glasses with side shields
when striking metal against metal. In addition,
it is recommended that a softer (chip-resistent)
material be used to cushion the blow, such as a
brass drift. Failure to follow could lead to
serious injury to the eyes or other parts of the
body.
• Do not refill the fuel tank when the engine is
hot. Allow engine to cool before refilling to
prevent the hot engine from igniting any
spilled or splashed fuel.
• Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank, while
working on the fuel or hydraulic systems, or
while working around the battery or propane
heater.
• Do not attempt to loosen or disconnect any
hydraulic lines, hoses or fittings without first
relieving hydraulic circuit pressure. Also, be
careful not to touch any hydraulic components
that have been in recent operation, because
they can be extremely hot and can cause burns.
• Before performing any service/maintenance on
the paver, always disconnect the battery to
prevent unintentional starting.
• Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap after
the engine has reached operating temperature
or if it is overheated. At operating
temperatures, engine coolant is extremely hot
and under pressure. Always wait for the engine
to cool before attempting to relieve pressure
and remove the radiator cap. Failure to heed
this warning could result in severe burns.
• Dispose of all petroleum-based oils and fluids
properly. Used motor oil may pose a health
risk. Wipe oil from your hands promptly and
wash off any residue. Used motor oil is an
environmental contaminant and may only be
disposed of at approved collection facilities.
Never drain any petroleum-based product on
the ground, dispose of in municipal waste
collection containers, or in metropolitan sewer
systems or landfills. Check state and local
regulations for other requirements.
Screed Propane Heater Safety
Reminders
WARNING
Do not smoke in the area around a paver
equipped with propane burners.
ALWAYS be sure a suitable fire extinguisher is
readily available.
ALWAYS light ignitor with a striker. NEVER use
a cigarette lighter or a match.
Ignitor flame may be invisible in sunlight. Do
not place ignitor near your skin or clothing.
Severe burns will result.
ALWAYS allow the screed to cool before lower-
ing it for transport. Fires could result.
• Only use propane gas with the screed propane
heater.

• Never use oil or grease for lubrication.
• Keep the propane supply cylinder upright at all
times.
• Keep the paver free of dirt and oil.
• Use a regulator valve on the propane supply
cylinder.
• Check the screed propane heater equipment
carefully each time before lighting.
