1448 PLUS OPERATION
when the windrow asphalt begins to run thin.
If this is not the case, open both flow gates
about 1/3 and maintain a full head of asphalt at
the leading edge of the screed until it strikes
the windrow asphalt. Continue to pave.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow this
procedure results in asphalt build-up and
eventual damage to the flow gate cylinders
and tracks.
HIGHWAY TRAVEL
For short distance highway travel, attach a
Slow-Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem (purchased
locally) to the back of the paver.
NOTE: Always follow all state and local
regulations for operating equipment on or
across public roads! If there is a long distance
between jobsites or if operating on public
roads is prohibited, transport the paver by
using a vehicle.
TRANSPORTING BETWEEN JOBSITES
When transporting the paver, know the overall
height to allow clearance of obstructions. Remove
or tape over the Slow-Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem if it is visible to traffic.
WARNING
Always follow the recommended procedures
and guidelines when using ramps to load the
paver onto (or unload it from) a truck or trailer.
Failure to follow this warning can result in
damage to equipment and serious personal
injury or death!
1. Use a pair of matching ramps that can support
the weight of the paver. The ramp width must
be at least 1-1/2 times the track width, and the
ramp length must be at least four times the
ramp height. It is best to use strong wood-cov-
ered steel ramps with center supporting blocks
(Fig. 27).

2. Firmly attach the ramps to the truck or trailer
bed with no step between the truck or trailer
bed and the ramps.
3. Position the incline of the ramps to be less
than 15°.
4. Block the front and rear of the tires on the
truck or trailer, and if equipped, engage the
parking brake.
WARNING
NEVER attempt to adjust travel direction (even
slightly) while traveling on the ramps. Instead,
back off of the ramps, and re-align the paver
with the ramps.
Do not walk beside, behind or in front of
the paver during loading and unloading
procedures.
ALWAYS place the pump speed control lever in
"slow" position when operating the paver on
the truck or trailer bed. ALWAYS load the paver
in "reverse" and unload in "forward" direction.
Check for and remove oil, grease, fuel or other
substance on the ramps that may cause the
tracks to lose traction or slip.
Do not wash down the paver with asphalt
releasing agent just before loading or
unloading on the vehicle. The paver tracks
may become wet and may slip on the ramps.
