LeeBoy 685D - Poor Visibility; Snow Removal; Storage Precautions; Maintenance Precautions

• 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 trafc 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.
• Operator must know how to use signaling devices
when driving the grader. 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.
• DO NOT tow the grader, except to remove from road
or to load on trailer.
• 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.
• DO NOT stop or turn the grader around on curves
or at the crest of hills. Use extra care when grading
against oncoming trafc.
Poor Visibility
Increasingly, road construction 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.
Snow Removal
• Keep windshield and other windows clean and clear,
using defroster and wipers when needed.
• Use the proper attachment(s) before plowing snow.
Additional equipment may also be needed, i.e., tire
chains, additional warning beacon and/or work lights
and other warning markers.
• Snow removal presents unique hazards, including
slippery road surfaces, poor visibility and other trafc
issues. Be alert for any obstructions covered by snow
that may be hazardous and adjust operating speed
according to slippery conditions.
Storage Precautions
• Store grader in an area away from human activity.
• DO NOT permit children to play on or around the
stored machine. Serious injury or death can occur
from improper/unauthorized use of the machine.
• Make sure the unit is stored on a surface that is rm,
level, and free of debris.
• Store the machine inside a building or cover securely
with a weatherproof tarpaulin.
Maintenance Precautions
• DO NOT attempt repairs unless trained to do so.
Refer to manuals and experienced repair personnel
for help.
• Before working on the machine, securely block the
machine and any components that may fall. Block
any working components to prevent unexpected
movement while repairs are being made.
• Always wear safety glasses and other required safety
equipment when servicing or making repairs.
• Avoid lubrication or mechanical adjustments while the
grader is in motion or while engine is operating.
• Never make repairs on pressurized components such
as uid lines, the gas system, or mechanical items until
the pressure has been relieved.
• When servicing or replacing hardened pins, use a
brass drift or other suitable material between the
hammer and pin.
• Keep brake and steering systems in good operating
condition.
