Rosco CSV - Operational Safety Guidelines

Refueling Precautions
• Do NOT overll the fuel tank as overow creates a re
hazard when spilled on hot components.
• DO NOT smoke when refueling and never refuel when
the engine is running. Fuel is highly ammable and
should be handled with care. Death or serious injury
can occur due to explosion and/or re.
• DO NOT ll tank to capacity. Allow room for expansion
to reduce the risk of fuel expanding and spilling from
the tank.
• Tighten fuel cap securely. Should fuel cap be lost,
replace it with an original manufacturer’s approved
cap. Pressurization of the tank may result from use of
non-approved cap.
• Prevent res by keeping the machine clean of
accumulated debris, grease, and spilled fuel.
• Use ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD) only.
Battery Precautions
• Keep all sparks and ames away from batteries, as
gas given off by electrolytes is explosive.
• Acid propelled by an explosion can cause blindness
if it comes in contact with eyes. Always wear safety
glasses when working near batteries.
• If you come in contact with battery electrolyte solution,
wash off immediately. Chemicals can cause burns.
• Always disconnect the battery ground cable before
working on the electrical system to avoid injury from
spark or short circuit. Electrical shock and burns can
occur.
• To avoid electrolyte loss, DO NOT tip batteries more
than 45 degrees.
Starting and Stopping
Precautions
• Check all around the machine to make sure there are
no people working on the machine or in its path 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. DO NOT
bypass the chip spreader neutral-start system.
DO NOT operate the engine in an
enclosed area without proper ventilation. Exhaust
gasses are odorless and deadly.
Parking Precautions
• Park machine on level ground whenever possible and
apply the parking brake.
• Before leaving operator’s station:
1. Place the truck in neutral and engage the parking
brake.
2. Turn off all accessories.
3. Shut off engine.
• Remove ignition key when leaving the machine parked
or unattended.
Operating Precautions
• The receiving hopper width is 10 feet when fully
extended. Use extreme caution while chip spreading
to avoid damage or accidents from trafc and
roadside obstacles.
• Always comply with local regulations regarding
moving equipment on public roads and highways.
• Know and use the hand signals required for a
particular job. Know who has the responsibility for
signaling.
• Make sure that all lights and reectors comply with
state and local regulations. Make sure that they are
clean, in good working order, and can be seen clearly
by all trafc.
