Operation
Loading
To prevent damage to the
undercarriage and throughout the paver, reduce
traveling speed before the paver wheels come into
contact with loading ramps or any abrupt change in
the surface. The drive sprocket or other components
can be damaged by excessive shock.
The paver must be loaded screed-end
rst to prevent damage.
1. Back paver to base of ramp, centered with the ramp.
2. BEFORE moving onto the ramp, ensure:
• The screed position is UP.
• Auger extensions are removed.
• The extendible screed is IN.
• The cut-off gates below the augers are
CLOSED.
3. Set throttle at half the operating RPMs.
4. Set steering control lever so paver moves very
slowly onto the ramp. (Figure 4-69)
5. Using the steering control joysticks, SLOWLY guide
paver up the ramp.
6. Position paver in center of trailer.
7. Lower the screed.
8. Shut down the engine.
9. Secure paver to transport using the following tie-
down procedures.

Loading and Unloading
Ensure the transport trailer has the capacity to carry
the paver’s weight. Park the trailer in a clear, level area
when loading or unloading the machine.
NOTE: The tow point cylinders can be lowered to
increase loading clearance.
ALWAYS position an assistant to be a
ground guide when loading and unloading the paver.
Work slowly and carefully to avoid
accidents. Keep the loading area clear.
ALWAYS back the paver up loading
ramp with the screed end rst. ALWAYS be alert to
uneven surfaces and the potential reactions when
transferring the paver from surface to surface.
Serious injury or even death can result.
Use extra caution steering when
loading and unloading the paver as slight steering
changes on ramps and trailers can cause the
machine to fall off the ramp or transport trailer.
Serious injury or even death can result.
