Operation
Optional Components
Auger Extensions Option
The auger extensions should be attached to the main
auger to increase the ow of asphalt to the endgates
and screed extensions when paving at widths wider
than 15 feet (4.6 m). This makes it possible to lay asphalt
at a higher rate. Auger extension options are 12-inch
extensions for each side or 24-inch extensions with
shields for each side.
Left and right auger extension covers
or shields must be installed on the correct side of the
machine.
To attach the auger extensions proceed as follows:
1. Identify the right and left auger extensions by
observing the left or right on the end of the auger
extension shaft.
2. After identifying the right and left auger extensions,
extend the screed extension fully as follows:
• Set the left and right auger switches to the OFF
position.
• Set the left and right extension switches to the
OUT position and extend fully.
3. Shut off engine.
Serious injury can result when
attaching extensions if the engine is running.
4. Remove bolt, nut cap on end of main auger.
5. Attach the correct side auger extension to the main
auger with hardware just removed.
6. Secure end of extension auger to main auger.
7. Install guard. Make sure extension auger is running
at.
8. Repeat this procedure for opposite side.
Umbrella Option
The umbrella kit option provides shelter from sun and
other weather conditions for the operator. The umbrella
kit assembly includes the mounting bracket and
umbrella frame assembly that can be mounted on either
side of the screed handle.
Screed Sloping Extensions
The sloping extensions option provides the means of
matching curb and gutter to reduce handwork while
paving. (Figure 4-60) The hydraulic slope extensions
provide 0 - 8 percent slope.
