OPERATION 1448 PLUS
If the battery is discharged and cannot start the
engine, either charge the battery or jump start the
paver. See “Jump-starting” on page 57.
CAUTION
BEFORE starting the engine and operating the
paver, review and comply with all safety
recommendations in the SAFETY chapter of
this manual. Know how to stop the paver
before starting it.
FIRST TIME OPERATION
Complete the following steps if you are operating
the paver for the first time:
1. Be sure the engine is warm.
2. Learn the control levers.
3. Raise the screed.
4. Move the paver travel control levers
forward and rearward.
5. Make left and right turns using the
travel control levers.
6. Stop the paver, lower the screed, and
activate the vibrator.
7. Divert the exhaust down to the screed.
8. Position the side gates and extensions
in and out.
9. Raise and lower the hopper.
10. Turn the auger motors on and off.
STOPPING THE PAVER
1. Bring paver to full stop on a level surface.
NEVER park on a slope or hillside, but if it is
not possible to avoid, park across the slope and
block the tracks at both ends.
2. Place all controls in neutral.
3. Move the throttle to low idle.
4. Lower the hopper and screed assembly to the
“full down” position. Allow the screed to cool
before lowering for transport.
5. Run the engine at a low, consistent speed for
five minutes. Listen for any abnormal sounds
during this time.
6. Shut off the engine and remove the key. Refer
to the “Mandatory Safety Shutdown Proce-
dure” on page 15.
WARNING
Do not turn the keyswitch to “STOP” position
before completing step 5. Turning the key-
switch to “STOP” position before completing
step 5 causes the engine temperature to rise
rapidly and this may cause fire and injury.
IMPORTANT: Do not stop the engine
immediately after removing the load because
the temperature of the engine rises suddenly
when this occurs. If the coolant system is not
allowed to cool the engine before it is shut
down, the engine may be damaged.
GENERAL PAVER OPERATION
Walk-around Inspection
1. Inspect the hydraulic suction hose to be sure it
is firm and not soft.
2. Check for hydraulic leaks.
3. Check the hopper sides and floor clearance.
4. Inspect the screed.
5. Check that safety guards and covers are
in place.
Hands-on Check
1. Check the fuel gauge. Fill the tank before
paving and when necessary.
2. Check the engine oil level and add oil
if necessary.
