Poor VisibilityPoor 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.
Storage PrecautionsStorage Precautions
• Store paver 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 PrecautionsMaintenance 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.
• Disconnect battery before working on the electrical
system.
• Avoid lubrication or mechanical adjustments while the
paver is in motion or while engine is operating.
• If lubrication or mechanical adjustment is necessary,
use extreme caution and complete the following
steps:
1. Place all four joysticks in NEUTRAL (center
position) on both control panels. This engages the
brake.
2. Lower screed to the ground.
3. Shut off engine.
• 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.
