NOTE
Heatingthe screedhelps prevent hot mixfrom sticking to
the cold screed plate and produces a
smooth,
tight mat
surface. Heating should not only be performed at the
beginningofthejob,but also
ifthe

time between loads (allowing screedplateto cool).
NOTE
If paving on a 0001 windy day it may be necessary to
maintain
low heat on the screed. To accomplish this,
reduce
the pressureonthepropanetankfrom6-8 pounds
to 2 pounds. Thiswill providea lowevenheatthatwill not·
