sleeved shirt, buttoned at the cuffs, safety shoes, and pants without cuffs, and knit wrist type gloves.
A hard hat must be worn by operator when working on a job site.
ROOF PREPARATION
INSPECT ROOF DECK
Before allowing equipment and personnel access to roof, make certain roof is strong enough to support the weight. Check
load limits of deck with owner, builder or architect. Clear the work area of all potentially dangerous obstacles that could
cause personal injury to the operator or others. Keep unauthorized people away from construction area. Check to see that all
roof openings are guarded to protect against falls.
WARNING LINE SYSTEM

After Use and Storage
After use, clean out the pump by running it for a few minutes with the solvent for the product being sprayed. This will
prevent the formation of chemicals which could interfere with normal operation. When the solvent runs clear, run the pump
with the suction line out of the material to ensure complete drainage of the pump.
For winter storage, drain pump completely. Examine pump rollers and replace if necessary.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION; DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE BEFORE WORKING ON MACHINE.
Engine Service
For the engine read “Honda Owner’s Manual”. Engine oil should be changed in conformity with “Honda Owner’s Manual”.
Keep the cylinder head clean so that it can cool the engine properly. Frequent oil changes will significantly prolong life of
engine. SAE 10W30 is recommended by Honda (see Honda Engines Owner’s Manual). Unleaded gasoline is also
recommended to increase valve life.
If service or repair of engine is needed, contact an authorized Honda centre. You will need the model, and serial number of
your engine.

SAFETY HAZARDS
Safety hazards are not always obvious to workers. Unlike exposure to health hazards, where illness or injury develop slowly,
safety hazards usually result in immediate injury or death.
Broken bones, cuts bruises, sprains, burns and loss of limbs, eyesight and hearing are the kinds of injuries caused by safety
hazards.
The rate of occupational injuries in roofing, in fact, ranks in the top ten of all major occupational groups.
Falls
Falls are the number one cause of serious injury and death to roofers. An estimated 10 percent of all roofing accidents result
from falls off roof edges, through roofing openings or off ladders, more than half of the non-fatal accidents result in serious
injury.
Unprotected and unguarded roof edges and roof openings create extremely hazardous conditions.
Ladders with cracked, loose or missing steps: with side rails broken or cracked and not attached firmly to the steps; with
broken, loose or missing locks, or coated with grease, oils or hardened bitumen can lead to serious injury. Ladders should
always be inspected to make sure they’re properly maintained and constructed and that they’re long enough to extend three
feet above the roof’s surface.
Improperly balanced or unstable hoists overturn and will often carry the worker along. Rolls of roofing felt should never be
used as counterweight. Workers should know the load capacity; it should be posted.
Burns
Skin contact with hot asphalt and hot coal tar pitch usually results in second and third degree burns. They usually involve
deeper portions of the skin and are easily infected.
An estimated 16 percent of all injuries are burns from hot stuff. The major causes of burns have been from:
Kettle flashes
Kettle splashes from dropping pieces of coal pitch or asphalt into the kettle
Slips and trips while carrying hot bitumen in open containers
Splashes involving transfer operations like from the hot pipe outlet to a hot lugger, from a hot lugger to a mop
cart or a pail, or from the kettle to a pail.
Heavy Lifting
Sprains and strains, a majority of which involve the back, are the most common roofing injury and one of the most severe.
Almost 30 percent of these injuries result in 10 or more days away from work.
Fire/Explosion
Two conditions must be met in order for fires and explosions to occur. First, there must be an ignition source, a welding arc,
spark, cigarette, flame or simply a hot spot as in a kettle or tanker. Secondly, there must be the right mixture of vapours
(from asphalt, pitch, solvents) and oxygen.
For kettles and tankers, fire/explosion conditions arise when:
oversized burners are used to fire the kettle, causing localized overheating of the heating tubes creating a hot spot
the temperature of the bitumen is brought up to the desired operation temperature too quickly allowing the level
of bitumen to drop to the level of the firing tubes, allowing excessively high surface temperatures
heating the bitumen to its flash point (for asphalt, about 525°-540°; for pitch, about 450°-475°)
the temperature of the bitumen is hot enough to reach the auto-ignition level
in tankers, the vent pipe is clogged or plugged so that flammable vapours can build up to explosive levels

11
©Alcor 2011 All rights reserved
Many solvents evaporate quickly at roof temperatures. Explosive mixtures of vapours can be readily formed within confined
spaces like high parapet walls, in atriums or in any space where little or no ventilation exists. And any kind of spark or flame
can ignite the vapours.
Electrocution
Low voltage electricity can cause shock, muscle contractions, breathing difficulty, irregular heartbeat, severe burns and death.
The route that the current takes through the body affects the degree of injury. Current flowing from one finger to another
would not pass vital organ, while from one hand to another would pass through the heart and lungs.
Electrical tools should be properly grounded. The electrical cord should end in a three-prong grounding contact, or the wires
should be enclosed in a metal case with a special grounding attachment.
Employers are required to provide ground fault circuit interrupters for all outlets on construction sites that are not part of the
permanent wiring of the building. This is actually a fast-acting circuit breaker, which can shut off electricity in a fraction of a
second.
Aluminum or other metal ladders pose a serious electrical hazard around electrical equipment and energized lines.
Falling Objects
Tools, bricks, materials, buckets, boxes, pallets or almost anything dropped from a sufficient height can cause severe damage.
Head injuries, one of the highest compensated injuries to workers, often include brain damage.
Workers need protective head gear when working beneath people, tools and equipment.
Flying Objects
Objects can be projected by machines, from welding or grinding operations and can be windblown. Tear-off operations,
where power cutters, power brooms and power spudders are generally used, are the major source of flying substances.
The part of the body most often injured is the eyes.
Unguarded Machinery
Exposed blades and chains on powered machinery like hoists and roof cutters can severely lacerate and crush parts of the
body. Guards should always be fitted over moving parts to protect workers.
