OPERATION 1448 PLUS
Loading with Ramps
1. Align the paver with the ramps so that the
paver can load in reverse.
2. Stop the paver.
3. Use the screed control lever to raise the screed
to the "full up" position.
4. Turn the depth adjustment screws counter-
clockwise seven or eight turns to avoid
bumping the rear edge of the screed on the
ramps (Fig. 29).
5. Move the travel control levers rearward.
6. Place the throttle control at full-open position.
7. Move the pump speed control lever forward so
that the paver moves slowly up the ramps.
NOTE: The operator should ride on the
paver with both hands on the travel control
levers to stop the paver if it is not traveling
straight.
8. Stop the paver immediately after it is on the
vehicle bed.
9. Move the pump speed control lever to
"slow" position and reduce the throttle to
"idle" position.
10. Using the travel control levers, maneuver the
paver while it is on the vehicle bed to obtain
the best transporting and most balanced
position.
11. If not rear loading, proceed to step 12. If rear
loading, after the paver is on the vehicle bed,
place one track lever in - and the other in
"reverse." This rotates the paver sideways on
the vehicle bed to legal width for
transporting.
12. Return the screed to flat position by turning the
depth adjustment screws clockwise seven or
eight turns.
WARNING
Always allow the screed to cool before lower-
ing it for transport. Fires could result.
13. Lower the screed and place chains through the
two tie-down points at the rear of the paver
(Fig. 28). Drive the paver forward, allowing
the chains to tighten slightly.
Tie-down points are located at the front of the
hydraulic reservoir section of the frame and at the
lower rear sides of the backwall. Chains can be
inserted through these brackets and slots while
securing the paver for transport.
NOTE: Follow the Mandatory Safety
Shutdown Procedure on page 15.
14. Place a tie-down chain through the tie-down
point(s) on the front of the paver and bind it to
the vehicle bed (Fig. 28).
15. Turn the keyswitch to the "off" position and
remove the key.
