Be aware of the terrain, trafc and
other driving conditions. Adjust speed accordingly.
Ensure there are no people,
equipment or obstacles in the paver’s before moving
in either direction.
Rapid counter-rotation in either
direction can result in the operator being thrown
from the machine and suffer personal injury or
death. Counter-rotation occurs if one joystick is in
the extreme forward position and the other is in the
extreme rear position while the machine is in gear
and moving. Make only SLOW adjustments to the
joysticks to turn the paver right or left.
• To slow the paver, move joysticks closer to the
neutral position.
• To stop the paver, pull joysticks back to the neutral
position.
• To drive the paver forward, lift up on the joystick
collar and push joystick forward to reach the
desired speed.
• To move in reverse, lift up on the joystick collar and
move joystick backwards to reach desired speed.
• Return joysticks to the neutral position to stop
paver.
• To steer the unit to the left, SLOWLY push the right
joystick farther forward than the left joystick. The
farther the joystick is pushed, the more the paver
turns. Slow and easy adjustments are required for
safe operation.
• To steer the unit to the right, SLOWLY push the left
joystick farther forward than the right joystick. The
farther the joystick is pushed, the more the paver
