Electrical System
The battery produces 12 volts DC and maintains 1,125
cold cranking amperes (CCA). An engine-mounted
alternator with a minimum of 60 amperes charging
capacity keeps the battery charged during normal
operation. The battery charge rate can be monitored
using the voltmeter on the center operator control panel.

Augers
Right and left augers rotate
to move material from the
conveyors to the screed.
The auger can be manually
controlled at the operator
platform or by a screed
operator on the screed using a remote control box.
The auger can also be controlled automatically using
the auger sonic sensor system. The sensor is mounted
on the screed endgates and used to monitor and control
the pile height of material at the discharge end of the
augers.
Operator Platform
The operator platform allows easy and convenient
access for controls of most paver functions. The paver
can be operated from the left or right side depending
upon which control panel side is active and best suited
to the working conditions. Controls can also be lowered
to operate as a low deck or the high deck option with an
assistant standing on the screed walkboard.
Screed
The screed is the last part of the paver that contacts the
paving material. A screed operator usually operates the
screed while the operator drives the machine. Paving
material is fed from the hopper and conveyor to the
augers to the front of the screed.
The screed has hydraulically-controlled extensions that
move in and out to allow a paving base from 8 - 15 feet.
Screed heating is accomplished by either propane or
the optional electric heating elements mounted directly
to the wear plates.
