Never operate the machine while under the
inuence of alcohol or drugs.
Flying Object HazardFlying Object Hazard
Always wear eye protection when cleaning
the machine with compressed air or high-
pressure water.
Dust, ying debris, compressed air,
pressurized water or steam may cause eye
injury.
Burn HazardBurn Hazard
Some of the machine’s surfaces become
very hot during operation and may remain
hot for a few minutes after shutdown.
• Keep hands and other body parts away from hot
machine surfaces.
• Handle hot components with heat-resistant gloves.
The safety messages that follow have NOTICE level
hazards.
Any part that is found defective as a result of inspection
or any part whose measured value does not satisfy the
standard or limit must be replaced.
Always tighten components to the correct torque. (See
Section 2, Torque Tables) Loose parts can cause
improper operation and damage to the machine. Only
use replacement parts approved by LeeBoy. Other
replacement parts may affect warranty coverage.
Contact your authorized dealer for assistance.
Follow EPA and local government
guidelines for properly disposing of
hazardous materials such as engine oil,
diesel fuel, and engine coolant. Consult
local authorities or reclamation facilities
for more information. Never dispose of
hazardous materials by dumping them into a sewer, on
the ground, or into waterways.
Clean all accumulated dirt and debris away from
the body of the machine and its components before
inspecting the machine or performing repairs and
maintenance. Operating a machine with accumulated
dirt buildup will cause premature wear of machine
components and hinders effective operation.
If any alert indicator illuminates while operating, STOP
the engine immediately. Determine the cause and repair
the problem before continuing to operate the machine.
Contact your authorized dealer for service assistance.

MACHINE PRECAUTIONS
Hot Material PrecautionsHot Material Precautions
• ALWAYS wear protective gear for face, hands, feet,
and body when operating the machine.
• Allow machine to cool before repairing or performing
maintenance components.
• If hot asphalt or other material touches the skin, ush
area immediately with cold water. DO NOT apply ice
to the affected area. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE
ASPHALT CEMENT with products containing solvents
or ammonia as natural separation will occur in 48 to
72 hours. Get medical attention immediately.
• NEVER light burners with anything but the torch striker
ignitor provided with your distributor.
• ALWAYS be careful when igniting burners. Make sure
the torch striker is kept away from the fuel tank and
any ammable materials.
Storage PrecautionsStorage Precautions
• Store distributor in an area away from human activity.
• DO NOT permit children to play on or around the
stored distributor. Serious injury or death can occur
from improper/unauthorized use of the distributor.
• Make sure the unit is stored on a surface that is rm,
level, and free of debris.
• Store the distributor inside a building or cover
securely with a weatherproof tarpaulin.
Starting and StoppingStarting and Stopping
PrecautionsPrecautions
• Check all around the distributor to make sure there
are no people working on the distributor or in the
path of the distributor before starting. DO NOT start
until area is clear. Death or serious injury can occur
to bystanders from being crushed under a moving
distributor.
Parking PrecautionsParking Precautions
• Park distributor on level ground whenever possible
and block wheels when not in use. On grades, park
distributor with wheels securely blocked.
Refueling PrecautionsRefueling Precautions
• DO NOT overll the fuel tank as overow creates a re
hazard when spilled on hot components.
• DO NOT ll fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for
expansion to reduce the risk of fuel expanding and
spilling from the tank.
• NEVER ll fuel tank while engine is running or propane
burners are lit.
• DO NOT smoke when refueling. Never refuel while
the engine is running. Fuel is highly ammable and
should be handled with care. Death or serious injury
can occur due to explosion and re.
• Tighten fuel cap securely. Should the fuel cap be
lost, replace ONLY it with original manufacturer’s cap.
Pressurization of the fuel tank may result from use of
non-approved cap. Contact your authorized dealer
for replacement.
• Prevent res by keeping the machine clean of
accumulated debris, grease and spilled fuel.
Operating PrecautionsOperating Precautions
• 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.
• Keep all unauthorized personnel away from a working
tack distributor. Any authorized persons should wear
protective clothing and glasses.
• Make sure that all lights and reectors comply with
state and local regulations. Ensure they are clean and
in working order.
• DO NOT operate the burner while the distributor is
moving or in transit to the work site.
• Be alert for hazards and obstructions on the work site.
• Be aware of and understand the job site trafc ow
patterns. Obey agmen, road signs, and signals.

• Avoid mechanical adjustments while the distributor is
in motion or while engine is operating. If lubrication or
mechanical adjustment is necessary:
1. Shut off engine.
2. Place distributor in a safe position.
3. Securely block wheels.
4. Use extreme caution.
• NEVER make repairs on pressurized components
such as uid lines, the gas system, or mechanical
items until the pressure has been relieved.
Battery Precautions (Option)Battery Precautions (Option)
While the engine is running or the battery is
charging, hydrogen gas is being produced
and can be easily ignited. Keep the area
around the battery well-ventilated and keep
sparks, open ame, and any other form of
ignition out of the area.
• ALWAYS disconnect the battery ground cable before
performing maintenance to avoid injury from spark or
short circuit. Electrical shock and burns can occur.
• DO NOT start the engine by shorting the starter circuit
or any other starting method not stated in this manual.
Only use the starting procedure as described in this
manual to start the engine.
• NEVER charge a frozen battery. Always warm the
battery to room temperature before charging.
• 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 into contact with eyes. Always wear safety
glasses when working near batteries.
• If you come into contact with battery electrolyte
solution, wash off immediately.
• To avoid electrolyte loss, DO NOT tip batteries more
than 45 degrees.
• NEVER use ber-based seal coat as this could
damage the pump and clog the spray wand.
• ALWAYS maintain material level at least three inches
above the burner ue.
• NEVER allow excessive material to build up on the
distributor. The distributor may be accidentally ignited.
• NEVER leave distributor unattended while heating.
• NEVER remove spray wand nozzle while engine is
running.
• Work SLOWLY in tight areas.
• Avoid operating on steep hills.
• ALWAYS place chock blocks on wheels when the
distributor is left unattended.
• ALWAYS use a vehicle of adequate size if towing the
distributor. Quick stops may not be possible when
towing with an undersized vehicle.
• DO NOT stand between the equipment and the truck
while the truck is being coupled with the distributor.
Death or serious injury can result from being crushed
between the towing vehicle and distributor unit.
Maintenance PrecautionsMaintenance Precautions
• Never perform any maintenance while burners are
ignited or the engine is running.
• DO NOT attempt repairs unless trained to do so.
Refer to manuals and experienced repair personnel
for help.
• Before working on the distributor, securely block the
distributor 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.
