To maintain proper machine control and effective hydrostatic braking on downhill slopes over 6%, this machine must be operated in Low Range (L). Failure to follow these instructions could result in an overspeed condition, loss of control and/or sudden stopping by the secondary (emergency) braking system which could cause serious injury or death.
Perform a "Walk-Around Inspection". Measure the fluid levels in the various compartments.
Adjust the width of the screed in order to fit the terrain.
Raise the screed. Extend the screed travel lock pins. Lower the screed on the lock pins. Refer to the Screed Travel Lock in the Operation Section.
Install the required flags, required signals, or required lights.
Moving the machine before all personnel are clear of the machine could cause personal injury. Sound the horn for several seconds before moving the machine.
Start the engine. See the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Starting" for the proper starting procedure.
