2.1 Vehicle
Construction
The paver finisher has a welded steel frame on which the individual components are
mounted.
The large drive wheels together with the front tandem shaft jointly compensate the
irregularities of the soil and as a result of the suspension of the screed they guarantee
a particularly high paving precision.
The continuously adjustable hydrostatic traction drive allows the speed of the paver
finisher to be matched to all work conditions.
The operation of the road construction equipment is considerably facilitated by the
automatic mixer device, the independent drives and the transparent operating com-
ponents and controls.
The following extra equipment (option) is available:
o Supplementary front-wheel drive (F161-6W / F161-8W) with anti-spin
o Automatic levelling/slope control system
o Ultrasonic sensors for material transport (controller)
o Additional cut-off shoe
o Larger working widths
o Automatic central lubrication system for the paver finisher and/or the screed
o Protective roof
o Further equipment and upgrade options on request
Engine: The paver finisher is driven by a water cooled Diesel engine. For further de-
tails see the technical data and the engine's instruction manual.
The particle filter (o) cleans the exhaust gas from the soot particles produced, reduc-
es the generation of harmful carbon-monoxyde and carbon-dioxyde gases, therefore,
it operates as a catalyser to minimize the load on the environment and health. A con-
trol light indicates the necessity of maintenance operations.
Running gear: The front axle was designed as a tandem swinging axle. As the
wheels are not mounted on non-uniform lifting axles, the second front wheel is subject
to a heavier load on the shorter lifting arm.
As a result of this solution the steering possibility and the load capacity are improved,
especially on soft ground. Tyres mounted with flexible solid tyres on the front wheels
and large-size, tubeless, air filled tyres on the rear wheels (water filled tyres - o).
In case of complementary (F 161-6 W / F161-8 W) front wheel drive the second front
axle or both front axles can be engaged as additional drive axles.
