TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
WARNING
Exhaust discharge contains deadly gases, including carbon monoxide. Do not operate
Bituminous Material Paving Machine (BMPM) in an enclosed area unless exhaust discharge
is properly vented. Failure to comply may cause injury or death to personnel.
Hot exhaust gases can ignite combustible materials. Allow room for safe discharge of hot
gases. Failure to comply may cause injury or death to personnel.
Exhaust system can become very hot. Shut down BMPM engine and allow cooling before
performing checks, services, and maintenance. Wear gloves, additional protective clothing,
and goggles as required. Contact with high-pressure steam and/or liquids can cause burns
and scalding. Failure to comply may cause injury or death to personnel.
A turbocharger becomes very hot and requires more time to cool down than other parts of
engine assembly. Shut down BMPM engine and allow it to cool sufficiently before performing
checks, services, or maintenance. Wear gloves and additional protective clothing as required.
Failure to comply may cause injury or death to personnel.
