MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The Weiler E1250 is a self-propelled elevator used for
transfering hot-mix asphalt from transport vehicles to an
asphalt paver. The E1250 is used in non-contact,
continuous paving and helps to eliminate truck end
segregation, and add a surge capacity to the paving train.
Optional Weiler hopper inserts for the paver will add
more capacity as well.
The E1250 is equipped with a CAT C7, 250 HP, 6-
cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. Power is
transmitted to all four wheels on the E1250, through two
variable speed hydrostatic pumps, driving four two-
speed hydrostatic motors and planetaries. The two
speed hydraulic motors allow smooth on-the-go shifting
at any speeds.
High-flotation 20 ply 17.5” x 25” tires and differential
lock allow the Weiler E1250 to operate in numerous
paving conditions from first to final lifts. The short
wheel base with set forward axle and wide stance, along
with low center of gravity, allow the E1250 to be very
stable and have a very tight turning radius of 17’.
Material is dumped into the wide, high capacity dump
hopper, where it is picked up by 28” diameter, wear
resistant augers. The augers move the material to the
drag slats in the center of the machine where it is
conveyed up the 60” wide elevator and discharges into
either the conveyor or the optional remix hopper. In the
remix hopper, two 16” diameter interlaced augers mix
the material and move it to the center of the machine to
transfer to the conveyor. The conveyor transfers the
material into either the paver hopper or the optional
hopper insert. The conveyor swings 55 degrees from
center in each direction and raises up to 12 feet off of the
ground. This allows the machine to be very versatile
and be used for paving over string lines, barrier walls,
and other obstacles encountered in the paving operation.
The elevator and conveyor on the Weiler E1250 are
powered by variable speed hydrostatic pumps and high-
torque direct drive motors. The elevator is rated at 1000
tons per hour and the conveyor is rated at 600 tons per
hour.
A dual position, rotating operator’s station is provided
along with two operator’s seats to allow for the operator
to move from left to ride side of the machine. All
operation functions are controlled from the operators
platform. Two control panels are located on the ground
near dump hopper on either side of the machine for the
truck dump operator to control the hopper functions, as
well as clean out functions. An additional service
control panel is located near the rear of the machine to
aid in conveyor and mix hopper clean up.
A washdown system with electrical pump is provided
with each machine along with a separate tank for wash
down solvents. The wash down system includes a 50ft
hose reel and quick attach wand for reducing asphalt
build up on the contacted components and lubricating
them before use.
Options avaliable are rotating beacon light, 9KW
generator, additional working lights, hopper insert, truck
hitch, windrow pickup unit, and cold start kit.

OPERATOR STATION
OPERATOR STATION - LOCATION AND FEATURES
The operator station is located on the front upper platform. It
offers the operator control and visibility of all operating functions
and engine information needed in the operation of the machine.
The operator station pivots about the center of the platform to
allow the operator to drive the machine from either the left or
right hand side. A lockable vandal cover (1) is provided to
discourge vandalism to the guages, lights and switches.
OPERATOR STATION - GROUND DRIVE CONTROL
1. The Steering Wheel - A tilt steering wheel (2) is provided to
allow for operator comfort. The steering wheel is tilted by
pressing the foot pedal (3) and tilting the wheel to the desired
location. Releasing the pedal locks the steering wheel in place.
2. Park Brake Light and Park Brake Switch (4) - Spring applied -
hydraulic released park brake on all 4 wheels. Move up for brake
engagement and down for release. Park brake light (5) indicates
the park brake engagement.
NOTE: A brake override pump is supplied in the event of a
machine breakdown where moving the machine is necessary (see
Machine Towing section for instructions).
WARNING: DO NOT apply parking brake while machine is in motion. Brake application is
severe and may damage the park brakes or cause injury to the operator.

3. Propel Motor 2-Speed Switch (6) (High/Low)- Controls propel
motor displacement. Move up for high and down for low. The
speed may be shifted while machine is in motion. An indicator
light (7)is provided to indicate the motors are in high.
4. Propel Creep Switch (8) (High/Low)- Allows finer tuned
adjustments to speed at lower speed ranges by cutting the output
current of the joystick in half. For example: with the propel
joystick at fully ahead with the creep switch in low, the propel
pumps see a current the same as the lever half-way ahead.
NOTE: Creep mode does not change the torque of the machine,
it is used only for operator fine tuning and smoothness.
5. Differential Lock Switch (9) - Allows front and rear axles to
function independantly when engaged. Used when in slick or
muddy conditions, or if a single wheel is spinning. A momentary
switch, push and hold up to engage.
6. Propel Variable Speed Joystick (10) - Controls electrical
current to the propel pumps displacement control. The center
position of the joystick is neutral and the latch (11) must be
pulled up to move the joystick out of the neutral position.
Pushing the joystick away from the operator moves the machine
in forward and pulling the joystick toward the operator moves the
machine in reverse. The farther the joystick is moved away from
neutral the more the pumps output is increased in either the
forward or reverse direction.
7. Propel Speed Dial (12) (Potentiometer) - Used to control
electrical current to the propel pumps displacement control.
Used in conjuction with propel variable speed joystick to control the ground speed. Turning the dial clockwise
increases the ground speed and turning the dial counter-clockwise decreases the speed.
