LeeBoy 6150 - Starting and Stopping Precautions; Parking Precautions; Poor Visibility; Tire Precautions

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.
• DO NOT bypass the paver neutral-start system.
• Be aware of job site conditions and terrain. Adjust
your speed if operating in rough or hilly conditions.
DO NOT operate the engine in an
enclosed area without proper ventilation. Exhaust
gasses are odorless and deadly.
Parking Precautions
• Park paver on level ground whenever possible, set
steering levers in neutral and lock. Apply the parking
brake. Park the paver with wheels securely blocked
on grades.
• Remove ignition key when leaving paver parked or
unattended.
Poor Visibility
Increasingly, asphalt maintenance equipment is used
during less than ideal lighting conditions such as fog
and smog or at night. These conditions present safety
hazards for workers, bystanders and passing trafc.
When operating under restricted light
conditions, equip the machine with special lighting to
prevent serious injury.
While the machine is equipped with a beacon and a
work light, contact your authorized LeeBoy dealer for
additional lighting packages if working under these
conditions.
Use reective tape on the sides of machines when
working at night. Ensure all workers wear reective
safety vests. Use impact barriers (movable or
stationary) to protect workers and direct the trafc ow
safely away from the work site.
Tire Precautions
Because serious and even fatal
accidents can occur if tires are improperly mounted,
dismounted or inated, it is recommended tire
service be performed by certied tire technicians.
Contact your authorized LeeBoy dealer for
assistance. Hydro-ination of the drive tires on
this paver require specialized instructions and
equipment.
DO NOT mount or demount tires
without proper training. A violent explosion can
occur.
DO NOT reinate a at tire without
rst inspecting the tire, tube, ap, rim, and wheel
assembly for damage. Be sure parts are secured
before ination.
DO NOT inate tires beyond the
maximum recommended ination pressure.
Mismatched rim parts are dangerous
and can cause severe injury.
• Because serious injury can occur when tires are
improperly mounted, dismounted and inated, this
work should be done by tire service professionals
who have the proper equipment and trained personnel
to do the job safely.
• Clean rims and repaint to stop detrimental effects of
corrosion and facilitate checking and tire mounting.
• Be very careful to clean all dirt and rust from rims.
This is important for securing rims into the proper
position.
• Check rim components periodically for cracks.
Replace all cracked, worn, rusted or damaged
components with new parts of the same size and type.
If you are not sure about proper mating of tire and
wheel parts, consult a wheel and rim expert.
• NEVER run a vehicle on a single tire with a dual
assembly as the carrying capacity is dangerously
exceeded and can result in damage to the rim and tire.
