To the Customer
Your new GOMACO GT-3600 was carefully designed and manufactured to give years of dependable
service. To keep it running e󰀩ciently, read the instructions in this manual thoroughly. It contains detailed
descriptions and instructions for the e󰀩cient operation and maintenance of your GT-3600. Each section
is clearly identied so you can easily nd the information that you need. Read the Table of Contents to
learn where each section is located. All instructions are recommended procedures only.
Throughout this manual you will come across “Caution”, “Warning” or “Danger” statements which will
be carried out in bold type and preceded by one of the following symbols. Be certain to carefully read
the message that follows to avoid the possibility of personal injury or machine damage.
A “Danger” statement is of utmost importance and signals
severe injury or high probability of death to the user if proper
precautions are not taken.
A “Warning” statement is customarily used to indicate a
potential hazard which could result in serious personal injury.
A “Caution” statement usually indicates a hazard that could
result in minor injury, or damage to equipment.
You will also come across “Notice” statements which will be carried out in bold type. A “Notice”
statement usually indicates a precaution or procedure to take to prevent personal injury, property
damage or an unsatisfactory nished product.
GOMACO cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The
warnings in this publication and on the machine are therefore not all inclusive. If a tool, procedure,
work method or operating technique not specically recommended by GOMACO is used, you must
be certain that it is safe for yourself and others. You should be certain that the machine will not be
damaged or made unsafe by negligent operation, or by improper maintenance or repair procedures.
Right hand and left hand sides are determined by facing the direction the GT-3600 will travel during
paving operations. The two track end of the GT-3600 is referred to as the “front” and single track end is
referred to as the “rear”.
There are a variety of special applications which the GT-3600 may be used on. This manual covers
the use of the GT-3600 for standard low proles, and side-mounted barrier. For special applications,
consult your nearest GOMACO Distributor.
Record your GT-3600 serial numbers in the appropriate spaces provided on the title page. Your
GOMACO dealer needs this information to give you prompt, e󰀩cient service when you order parts.
It pays to rely on an authorized GOMACO Distributor for your service needs. For the location of the
Distributor nearest you, contact GOMACO.
Note: It is GOMACO’s policy to constantly strive to improve GOMACO products. The information,
specications, and illustrations in this publication are based on the information in e󰀨ect at the time
of approval for printing and publishing. GOMACO therefore reserves the right to make changes in
design and improvements whenever it is believed the e󰀩ciency of the machine will be improved
without incurring any obligation to incorporate such improvements in any machine which has been
shipped or is in service. It is recommended that users contact an authorized GOMACO Distributor
for latest revisions.
