SAFETY
YOU are responsible for the SAFE
operation and maintenance of your
Wyco Screed King power screed. YOU
must ensure that you and anyone
else who is going to operate, maintain or work
around the screed be familiar with related SAFETY
information contained in this manual. This manual
will take you step-by-step through your working
day and alerts you to all good safety practices that
should be adhered to while operating the screed.
Remember YOU are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you but also the people
around you. Make these practices a working part of
your safety program. Be certain that EVERYONE op-
erating this equipment is familiar with the recom-
mended operating and maintenance procedures
and follows all of the safety precautions. Most
accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or
death by ignoring safety practices.
* Screed owners must give operating instructions
to operators or employees before allowing them to
operate the machine, and at least annually there-
after.
* The most important safety device on this equip-
ment is a SAFE operator. It is the operator’s respon-
sibility to read and understand ALL Safety and
Operating instructions in the manual and to follow
these. All accidents can be avoided.
* A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualified
to operate the machine. An untrained operator
exposes himself and bystanders to possible serious
injury or death.
* Do not modify the equipment in any way. Un-
authorized modification may impair the function
and/or safety and could affect the life of the equip-
ment.
