INTRODUCTION
The KM International Team would like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU for your
purchase of the KM T-2 ASPHALT RECYCLER. We at KMI are confident that the newest
addition to the KM International product offering will provide you with years of safe,
reliable and cost effective use. We are sure that the KM T-2 will begin paying for itself
in the form of savings with the first batch of recycled asphalt that it produces. In
January 2009 the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) engaged KM
International, Inc. (KMI) to come up with a feasible plan to recycle the mountains of
millings and asphalt product that was building up in equipment yards all over the State
of Michigan. KMI was up to the challenge. The challenge though was not to just recycle
and be “Green” just for the sake of being “Green” but to do it responsibly. The goal for
KMI has always included a product offering that provides cost savings, purchase
justification and profitability for our customers.
KM International, Inc. has acquired and developed a number of strengths that has
fostered KMI’s worldwide reputation in the asphalt industry as the “Gold” and “Green”
standards. We are the preeminent authority on the “infrared process” of in place asphalt
recycle and repair. We have fostered an ongoing industry standard of quality and
excellence that continually exceeds our customers’ expectations in all of our product
offerings including our “Infrared” line of equipment, crack maintenance and “Hot Box”
Reclaimers.
Our commitment to the design and manufacture of the highest quality asphalt
maintenance equipment in the market is not just a “quote on the wall” but rather the
driving force for the entire KMI team.

TIRES: 3,520 LBS. capacity each (load range E)
TIRE PRESSURE: 80 PSI cold inflation
BRAKES: 12V Electric; all four tires; safety breakaway feature
Optional: Hydraulic brakes; all four tires
WARNING: Use of a tow vehicle with a towing capacity less than the load rating of
the trailer can result in loss of control, and may lead to death or serious injury. Ensure
your hitch and tow vehicle are rated for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating identified on
the VIN tag of your trailer.
WARNING: Be sure that the tow hitch load rating meets or exceeds the GVWR of the
trailer. Inspect the tow hitch for wear. Replace if worn, cracked, or corrosion exists.
Inspect and ensure that all connecting hardware is tightened and serviceable.
NOTICE: When connecting the tow vehicle to the trailer ensure to match the tow

WARNING: Inspect and test the safety chains and safety breakaway system before
travel. The safety breakaway cable must connect to the vehicle, never connect to the
hitch.
LIGHTS & BRAKES
NOTICE: Inspect all trailer lighting prior to travel. Inspect rear running tail lights,
marker lights, turn signals and brake lights. Ensure that trailer light plug is properly
connected to the tow vehicle.
WARNING: For electric brakes it is necessary for the tow vehicle to signal the trailer
electric brakes. Inspect the trailer brakes for operation before travel. Failed trailer
brakes can result in a hazardous accident causing injury, or death.
WARNING: For hydraulic actuated brake systems it is necessary to inspect the hitch
actuator, hydraulic tube lines and connections. Inspect for leaks. Inspect the hydraulic
fluid level in the brake actuator. . Inspect the trailer brakes for operation before travel.
Failed trailer brakes can result in a hazardous accident causing injury, or death.
NOTICE: A qualified mechanic should inspect the brakes and braking system for
proper service and wear.
WHEELS & TIRES
WARNING: Improper tire pressure can result in loss of control which can lead to
death or serious injury. Ensure tires are inflated to the pressure indicated on the side
wall of the tire before towing the trailer.
WARNING: Be sure lug nuts are tight before each trip. Lug nuts can loosen after
initial installation. Check lug nuts for tightness after new tire installation at intervals of
the first 10, 25 and 50 miles of travel.
NOTICE: Tighten the lug nuts to 100 ft/lbs. torque. Over tightening will result in
breaking the lugs or cause permanent damage resulting in possible wheel failure. Use a
calibrated torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts.

KM T2 ASPHALT RECYCLER
The KM T2 Asphalt Recycler is designed to recycle milled or chunked hot mix asphalt to
working temperature. The KM T2 Asphalt Recycler will safely recycle up to four tons of
material per hour using either pure asphalt cement, CRF, and/or shingles to bring life
back to the material. The solid welded construction and straight forward design is simple
to use and requires little maintenance.
NOTICE: Safety is always a concern when working with any fuel combustion system
and the KM T2 Asphalt Recycler diesel fuel burner system is no exception. WARNING:
DIESEL FUEL LEAKS PRESENT A DANGER and must be corrected prior to operating
the burner. Fuel spills should be properly cleaned up prior to system operation.
The burner is designed to burn No.1 or No.2 Heating Oil (ASTM D396) ONLY.
DANGER: NEVER USE GASOLINE in the burner as an explosion could result.
NEVER use crankcase or waste oil in this burner; contamination could cause burner
malfunction.
HOW DOES THE KM T2 ASPHALT RECYCLER WORK
The KM T2 Asphalt Recycler uses a 700,000 BTU, 12 VDC powered fuel oil combustion
burner to produce heat inside of the drum. The material tumbles throughout the drum
area while being heated from the burner.
Once the material being recycled has nearly reached the optimum temperature, asphalt
cement, CRF, and/or shingles should be added to revitalize the asphalt. Once the
additive has been thoroughly mixed the load can by discharged and transferred to a KM
Hotbox Reclaimer to maintain the load temperature during transport to the job site(s).
WARNING: Never clean the drum with a combustible solvent. Doing so will result in
fire or explosion.
Daily cleaning with a shovel or the tumbling of stone is the best maintenance for the
interior of the KM T2 Asphalt Recycler.

PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION CHECK LIST
NOTICE: Before operation of this unit, there should be an inspection of key
components to ensure that the machine is operating safely and efficiently. Always turn
off the engine, remove the engine key and remove the 12v DC burner power key
prior to performing any repairs or maintenance to the T-2 unit.
1. VISUAL INSPECTION. The T-2 Asphalt Recycler should always be visually
inspected for damage, signs of abuse, missing components, loose or missing bolts
and fittings and fuel or oil leaks prior to operation.
2. OPERATE ON LEVEL GROUND. The T-2 Asphalt Recycler must always be level
during operation. Unleveled operation may cause premature component failures.
3. INSPECT INTERIOR COMPARMENT. Open both access panels on either side of
the T-2 to ensure that the compartment area has not been used for storage
purposes. Remove all items from compartment prior to operation. Both doors
must be closed during operation.
4. INSPECT DRIVE CHAIN. Visually inspect the drive chain for excessive wear or
obstructions. The chain tension is maintained by an automatic, spring loaded
chain tensioner.
5. EXHAUST FAN. KM T-2 recyclers are fitted with a 12v DC exhaust fan to aid the
flow of heat thru the drum. Fan will power on when engine key is turned to the
“RUN” position. When possible, position the Recycler so the burner is up-wind
and the fan is down-wind.
6. FUEL CAPACITY. The diesel tank capacity is 80 gallons and allows you to
operate all day without refueling. Top off each day before use with No.1 or No.2
Heating Oil (ASTM D396) ONLY.

7. BATTERY VOLTAGE. Check the battery for the proper voltage. The burner
ignition key will need to be inserted and turned to the on position. The volt meter
should read at least 12 volts. Low voltage may cause premature component
failure.
8. SHUT OFF VALVES. Diesel fuel shut-off valve must be in the full open position
prior to starting the unit.
9. HYDRAULIC FLUID. Check Hydraulic Fluid Level in 28 gallon Hydraulic Tank.
Level should be approximately mid-range on the sight glass. If necessary, fill with
hydraulic fluid, TYPE AW 32, to proper level.
10. HYDRAULIC CONTROLS. Hydraulic Control Valves, located on the rear
passenger side fender, must all be in the neutral (Center) position before
operation.
11. ENGINE PRE-OPERATION. Consult the engine manufacturer manual for engine
specifications including proper starting, operating and maintenance.
