The safety messages that follow have NOTICE level
hazards.
• Any part that is found defective as a result of
inspection or any part whose measured value does
not satisfy the standard or limit must be replaced.
• Always tighten components to the specied torque.
Loose parts can cause damage to the machine or
cause it to operate improperly.
• Only use replacement parts approved by LeeBoy.
Other replacement parts may affect warranty
coverage.
Follow the guidelines of the EPA or other
governmental agencies for the proper
disposal of hazardous materials such as
oils, diesel fuel, coolant, etc. Consult the
local authorities or reclamation facility.
• Dispose of hazardous materials in accordance with
all applicable laws and regulations. Never dispose of
hazardous materials by dumping them into a sewer, on
the ground, or into groundwater or waterways.
• Clean all accumulated dirt and debris away from the
body of the paver and its components before you
inspect the paver or perform preventive maintenance
procedures or repairs. Operating a paver with
accumulated dirt and debris will cause premature
wear of paver components. Accumulated dirt and
debris also hinders effective paver inspection.
• Retrieve any tools or parts that may have dropped
inside of the paver to avoid improper paver operation.
• If any alert indicator illuminates during paver
operation, stop the engine immediately. Determine
the cause and repair the problem before continuing to
operate the paver.
Machine Precautions
Hot Material PrecautionsHot Material Precautions
• Wear protective gear for face, hands, feet, and body
when operating the paver.
• Allow machine to cool before repairing or maintaining
working components.
• If hot asphalt touches skin, ush area immediately with
cold water. DO NOT apply ice to the affected area.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ASPHALT CEMENT
with products containing solvents or ammonia.
Natural separation will occur in about 48 to 72 hours.
Get medical attention as soon as possible.
• DO NOT remove radiator cap, drain plugs, service
grease ttings, or pressure taps while engine is hot.
Add coolant to the radiator and perform other services
only when the engine is stopped and fully cooled.
Hydraulic Systems PrecautionsHydraulic Systems Precautions
• Ensure all components are in good working condition.
Replace any worn, cut, abraded, attened or crimped
hoses and metal lines.
• DO NOT attempt makeshift repairs using tape, clamps
or cements. The hydraulic system operates under
extremely high pressure and such repairs could
cause serious injury.
• Wear proper hand and eye protection when checking
for a high pressure leak. Use a piece of wood or
cardboard as a back stop to isolate and identify leaks.
Hydraulic oil under pressure can
cause serious personal injury. Check for oil leaks
with a piece of cardboard. DO NOT expose hands to
possible high-pressure oil. Turn off engine before
attempting to tighten oil lines and ttings.
• Escaping pressurized hydraulic uid has force
sufcient to penetrate the skin, which could cause
serious personal injury. Ensure all pressure is
relieved before disconnecting line, hoses or valves.
• If injury from concentrated high pressure steam
or hydraulic uid occurs, seek medical attention
immediately. Injuries resulting from hydraulic uid
penetrating the skin’s surface can result in serious
infections or toxic reactions.
