STARTING THE ENGINE
PRELIMINARY
Before you start the engine:
A. Check fuel level and check lines and tank
for
leaks.
B. Check crankcase oil level.
! CAUTION· !
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN CORRECT OIL LEVEL IS
GREATEST SINGLE CAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURES.
c. Check hydraulic oil level. Oil level is
determined by petecek on hydraulic oil tank.
D. Make sure steering control levers are in
the neutral position. To start, the safety latch
lever must be in the latch position.
E. Refer to engine operators manual for
instructions when starting engine for first
time. Follow engine manufacturer's
recommendationsforfuelandoil.
ENGINE/START-UP

PAVER DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The forward/reverse plus turning will require exact
movement. The steering levers along with the inter-
connected hydraulic components make possible the
positive control necessary. The following procedures,
plus illustrations in figures 3, 4 and 5,will provide a
working knowledge of operating the paver through
forward/rearward and turning requirements.

1. After the paver has been started and the motor is
warmedup, paver movements maybe made. 5. When making forward/rearward or turns, always
makethese moves

NOTE
Heatingthe screedhelps prevent hotmixfrom sticking to
the cold screed plate and produces a
smooth, tight mat
surface. Heating should not only be performed at the
beginningofthejob,butalsoifthe
machine isidleforalong
timebetweenloads(allowingscreedplateto cool).
NOTE
If paving on a 0001 windy day it may be necessary to
maintain low heat on the screed. To accomplish this,
reduce thepressureonthepropanetankfrom6-8 pounds
to 2pounds. Thiswill providea lowevenheatthatwill not·
harmthescreed.Donotattempttoregulatetheburnerwith

FIGURE 12
OPERATING FEEDER
GENERAL
The feeder is a very important part of the paver and for
thisreason close attention should begivenon intergrading
its operation into the total operation of the paver. Follow
the procedure below.
1. Before rasing or lowering feeders, fold sides in and
out by hand. (The side rails have a double action
motioncausing
the in and out movement.) Never use
cylinder pressure to
lower sides into place after
loweringfeeder. This
may bend sides or break the
chains on the sides.
2. Whenloweringfeeder,
do not lower under pressure.
Let the feeder down with engine shut off.
3. Do not let the paver set running with feeder on
automatic any length of time. This may cause the
hydraulic
oil to over heat.
4. Spray the feeder drive chains periodically several
times a day with diesel fuel.
5. When reedersare runningand cutoffsare shut, there
will
~ spillage the full width of the paver. This is
normal
and to help prevent this spillage, work feed-
ers manually,
when loading hopper and not paving.
6. Irregular movement of the feeder conveyor indicates
that aproblem may exist with the feeder chain. To
eliminate this probleman adjustmentto the feeder chain
may be necessary. Refer to page 28 under FEEDER
FLIGHT CHAIN ADJUSTMENT, procedure no. 3.
! CAUTION!
NEVER RAISE FEEDER WITH ASPHALT IN· THE·
HOPPER.
~
! DAN ,'ER !
NEVERWORK UNDER FEEDER WITH OUT MAKING
SURE THAT FEEDER IS BEING SUPPORTED BY
SAFETY PROP AND
THAT ALL UNAUTHORIZED
PERSONNEL ARE CLEAR OF THE AREA.
! CAUTION!
NEVER OVER HEAT SCREED. ABOUT 10 MINUTES
·BEFORE STARTING TO PAVE IS ENOUGH TIME FOR
PREHEAT. ON COOL DAYS TURN PROPANE
REGULATOR DOWN TO 2 LBS. THIS SHOULD
PREVENT SCREED FROM WARPING.
! CAUTION!
NEVER LET PAVER SET WHILE CONVEYORS ARE
TURNING. IT IS POSSIBLE, IF PAVER SETS LONG
ENOUGH, ASPHALT FROM
CONVEYORS CAN FILL
TRACKS AND CAUSE FAILURE TO THE BEARINGS
OR IDLER.
! CAUTION ! .
TO PREVENT FLIGHT CHAINS FROM S"TICKING IN-"
SIDE OF CONVEYOR PANS, LUBRICATE THEM
SUFFICIENTLY AT THE END OF THE DAY.

OPERATION OF ELECTRIC
FLIGHT SCREWS
GENERAL
The electric flight screw is an added convenience to the
operator. Agauge is located on both sides of the paver.
These gauges will provide the
operator with quick refer-
ence to the height of the screed. Refer to figure 13 and
follow procedures below.
1. Before paving, center the electric flight screws by
referringto the screedelevation gauge on eachside of
the paver. Raise or
lower until cable end is on cO'.
2. While paving. refer to both gauges and make minor
adjustment to the screed by using the electric flight
screws.

OPERATION OF HYDRAULIC CUTOFFS
GENERAL
The cutoffsare one of the most importantfunctions of the
paver. whenusedproperly. Cutoffsare used primarilyto
control the flow of asphalt to the screed. Cutoffs can be
used when makingnarrow passes, at Ulilbeginning and
ending of each pass or pull. The cutoffs have been
designed to break away if accidently bitS a man hole or
ridge.This feature will prevent excessive damage to
cutoff. (Tack underneath will break.)
1. Moving the hydraulic handle forward will increase
asphaltflow to the screed. Pulling the handlebackwill
decrease asphalt flow.
NOTE
Always work cutoff valve handle one at a time when
opening or closing. If both handles are worked
together, normallyone will open or close before the
other.
2. Always pull valve handles to close. If handle is
allowed to return to center position on its own, it
may pass center and causecutoff to driftopenonce
pressure is lost.
ELECTRIC SPRAYDOWN
GENERAL
The spraydown on your machine is used to sprayfuel oil
on any part of the machine that comes in contact with the
asphalt. Build-up of this material will cause damage to
components.
Spray the area often, the screed extension
on
top and bottom, augers and hoppers.

1. Unwrap the amount of hose needed and tum spray
down switch on. Pull wand handle and spray.
2. .
After spraying turn off spray down switch and rewrap
hose.
3. IMPORTANT: When using spraydown consider the
environment and do not allow fuel oil to run onto the
ground.
! CAUTION!
IF SPRAY DOWN PUMP IS NOT TURNED OFF'AFTER
EACH USE, THE PUMP WILL RUN OVER BY PASS
AND AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME WILL BURN UP
MOTOR.
AUTOMATIC AUGER
GENERAL
Automatic augers are used when laying mats wider than
standard paving width. When used this will lessen the
work load on the operator.
1. To install the paddle on the screedextension, extend
the screed6 inches and mount paddleon endgate as
shown. Install the same way on left endgate. See
figure
14A.
2. In order for the paddle to work, the electric cord
leading from the paddle switch should be plugged
into the receptacle box. Areceptacle box is located
on each side of the paver. After the electrical cords
are plugged in, switch the two toggle switches on the .
dash to ON Automatic and pull the auger valve
handles to engage augers.
3. IMPORTANT: After the paddle on screed ex-
tension has been mounted 00 NOT RETRACT
SCREED FULLY. DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
! CAUTION!
WHEN USING AUGERS DO NOT TRY TO AUGER
MATERIAL FROM ONE SIDE OF MACHINE TO THE
OTHER SIDE. AUGER COVER IN CENTER BLOCKS
THE FLOW. DAMAGE WILL RESULT IN BEARINGS
AND COVER.
NOTE
WhenpaVing basic width of machineaugersare not
required to run.

AUTOMATIC AUGERS: NEW STYLE
(TIED IN
WITH CONVEYORS)
Automatic augers are mostly used when paving 9' or
10' . where'augers are capable of running material over
top of endgates, causing extra hand work.
! CAUTION !
NEVER RUN AUGERS WHEN PAVING 81WIDE.
NEVER RUN AUGERS IN REVERSE TO PUSH
MATERIAL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT OR RIGHT TO
LEFT. Center chain guard prohibits material from
croSsing from one side to the other. (Damage will
occur).
HOW TO OPERATE:
1. Pull auger control handles on valve to "on" for
augers to feed extensions.
2Tum left &right auger toggles on dash "on",
Now the augers will come on and off with the
conveyors.
3. When paving wider widths, and augers do not
provide sufficient asphalt flow, refer to the
following step that identifies to
the corresponding
machine.
