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 chip spreader and its components before
you inspect the chip spreader or perform preventive
maintenance procedures or repairs. Operating a
chip spreader with accumulated dirt and debris will
cause premature wear of chip spreader components.
Accumulated dirt and debris also hinders effective chip
spreader inspection.
Retrieve any tools or parts that may have dropped inside
of the chip spreader to avoid improper chip spreader
operation.
If any alert indicator illuminates during chip spreader
operation, stop the engine immediately and determine
the cause if you can. DO NOT operate the machine if it
needs repairs. Contact your authorized Rosco LeeBoy
dealer for assistance or service.
MACHINE PRECAUTIONS
Hot Material Precautions
• Wear protective gear for face, hands, feet, and body
when operating the chip spreader.
• Allow machine to cool before repairing or maintaining
working components.
• DO NOT remove radiator cap, drain plugs, service
grease î›™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 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 î›™ttings.
• Escaping pressurized hydraulic uid has force
sufî›™cient 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.
