to make the machine and the operation of same as safe as possible. Shielding, simple adjustments

All machinery should be operated and serviced only by responsible
persons who have been properly instructed and delegated to do so. Read
and thoroughly understand all instructions contained in this manual, the
engine manual, and all optional equipment manuals before attempting to
operate or service the paver.
1) Only the operators should be allowed on the operator's platform when the paver
is in operation.
2) Clothing worn by all persons working close to the paver should be fairly tight and
belted. Loose jackets, shirts or pants should never be worn because of the
danger of getting caught in moving parts.
3) Be sure all shields and guards are in place and in good condition before starting
the machine.
4) Always mount and dismount the paver from the rear, using the walkway, steps and
handrails provided. Never dismount the paver to the side or forward.
5) Assure that all hands and feet are clear of moving parts before starting the paver.
6) Make sure everyone is clear of the paver before starting so they cannot be struck

arms, the machine could possibly overturn.
8) Keep the operator's platform clean, Do not use it as a place to carry loose tools,
lunch boxes, etc.
9) Refuel the paver only when the engine has been shut off. Do not permit sparks,
the paver with screed burners lit and operating.

Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury. Before disconnecting
any hydraulic lines, be sure to relieve all pressure. Before applying
pressure to a system , be sure all connections are tight and that all lines,
tubes, and hoses are not damaged. Fluid escaping from a very small hole
can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than
hands, to search for suspected leaks.
11) If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop
if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
12) Always be sure that all control switches are in the "OFF", “Pause”, or “Neutral” position,
hopper wings and screed are lowered and the engine is shut off before leaving the
operator's station.
13) Never use the wash down system when the screed burners are lit or operating.
14) Never clean, lubricate, or service the paver when it is running.
15) Do not open propane valves to the screed burners unless flame is present to light the
burners. An accumulation of unburned gas could result in explosion. Do not allow
smoking when lighting propane fired screed burners.
16) Do not allow smoking or the use of open flame when checking the electrolyte level in the
battery. An explosion could result. If skin or eyes are exposed flush immediately with
water and see a doctor.
Safety suggestions for persons working in the area of an operating paver
1) When working in the vicinity of the machine, stand in full view of the operator; but never
in front of the machine when the machine is operating. Stay clear of hopper, side arms,
and screed when machine is operating. Do not walk in front of the hopper or extended
screed, or stand at the end of the screed if the hydraulic screed extensions are being
used.
2) If necessary to remove spillage from the roadway, have the operator stop the machine
first. Working close to a moving machine is dangerous.
Accidents don't just happen- they are caused!
Take time to be safe!!!

3) Do not remove paving material from the hopper or auger trough while the paver is
operating. The operator should be advised when adjustments are being made.
4) Do not attempt service or repairs you do not understand or cannot perform competently.
5) Never go between the tuck and the paver.
6) Do not attempt to clean, lubricate or service the paver while it is running.
7) If any safety related defects are discovered, inform the operator to shut the machine
down and correct the defect.
