OPERATING
FEEDER
GENERAL
The feeder is a very
important
part of
the
paver
and
for
this reason close attention
should
be givenon intergrading
its operation into the total operation of
the
paver. Follow
the procedure below.
1. Before rasing or lowering feeders,
fold
sides
in and
out by hand. (The side rails have a
double
action
motioncausing
the
in
and
out
movement.)
Never
use
cylinder pressure to
lower
sides into
place
after
loweringfeeder. This
may
bend
sides
or
break
the
chains on the sides.
2. When lowering feeder,
do
not
lower
under
pressure.
Let the
feeder
down
with
engine shut off.
3. Do
not
let
the
paver
set
running
with
feeder
on
automatic
any
length of
time.
This may cause the
hydraulic
oil
to
over
heat.
4.
Spray
the
feeder
drive
chains
periodically
several
times a
day
with diesel fuel.
5. When reedersare
running and cutoffsare shut, there
will
~
spillage
the
full
width
of the paver. This is
normal
and
to help
prevent
this
spillage,
work
feed-
ers manually,
when
loading hopper
and
not paving.
6. Irregular movement of the feeder conveyor indicates
that a problem
may
exist with
the
feeder chain. To
eliminate this probleman adjustmentto the feeder
chain
may be necessary.

NEVER
OVER
HEAT
SCREED.
ABOUT 10 MINUTES
·BEFORE
STARTING
TO
PAVE
IS
ENOUGH
TIME
FOR
PREHEAT.
ON
COOL
DAYS
TURN
PROPANE
REGULATOR
DOWN TO 2 LBS. THIS SHOULD
PREVENT
SCREED
FROM
WARPING.
!
CAUTION!
NEVER LET PAVER
SET
WHILE CONVEYORS ARE
TURNING. IT IS POSSIBLE, IF PAVER SETS LONG
ENOUGH, ASPHALT FROM
CONVEYORS
CAN
FILL
TRACKS AND CAUSE FAILURE TO THE BEARINGS
OR
IDLER.
