Operating Precautions
• Always comply with local regulations regarding
moving equipment on public roads and highways.
• Know and use the hand signals required for a
particular job. Know who has the responsibility for
signaling.
• Make sure that all lights and reectors comply with
state and local regulations. Make sure that they are
clean, in good working order, and can be seen clearly
by all trafc.
• 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.
• Drive the machine with care. Make sure speed is
compatible with conditions. Use caution on rough
ground, slopes, and while turning.
• The machine is shipped with two seats, one for the left
side operation and one for the right side operation. It
is recommended that you operate the paver from the
seats. If for any reason the seats are removed, care
must be taken to operate from a position with stable
footing and use of the grab handles provided.
• When moving the machine, adjust speed and direction
of travel for the terrain and ground conditions present.
Always consider adjusting travel speed to match
ground conditions.
• Be alert for hazards and obstructions such as ditches,
trees, cliffs, overhead power lines, and areas where
there is danger of a slide.
• Be aware of and understand the job site trafc ow
patterns.
• Obey agmen, road signs, and signals.
• Watch for bystanders. Never allow anyone near the
machine during operation. Never allow anyone to
reach into the machine during use.
• DO NOT tow the paver, except to remove from road or
to load on trailer.
• Operator must know how to use signaling devices
when driving the 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.
• Block the tire and wheel on opposite sides of the
vehicle before you place the jack in position. Always
put hardwood blocks under the jack and crib up the
vehicle in case the jack slips.
Refueling Precautions
• Do NOT overll the fuel tank as overow creates a re
hazard when spilled on hot components.
• DO NOT smoke when refueling and never refuel when
the engine is running. Fuel is highly ammable and
should be handled with care. Death or serious injury
can occur due to explosion and/or re.
• DO NOT ll 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 res 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 ames 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.
