Maintenance Maintenance
1. Clean off paving material and spray cleaning solvent
or release agent on the wearplate, extensions, and
any other area that has been in contact with the
paving material. Cleaning should be performed
while the paver is hot.
If asphalt material is allowed to
remain on the paver overnight, possible damage and
increased maintenance costs can result upon start-
up the next day. Poor housekeeping will increase
maintenance costs.
NEVER spray cleaning solvent on hot
surfaces as serious injury can result.
2. Raise conveyors and place safety prop into position.
(Page 5-5) Clean any asphalt material off all at
surfaces. Remove any debris from screed and
check for leaks.
3. Lubricate the required parts. (Pages 5-8 to 5-11)
4. Check battery cables and connections. (Page
5-25)
5. Check coolant level. Fill if needed. (Page 5-21)
6. Check for loose, worn or damaged hoses, tubes
clamps. Tighten, repair or replace promptly.
7. Keep the fuel tank full to prevent condensation.

described in the Engine Operator’s Manual.
NOTE: In cold weather, keep conveyor ight chains
properly oiled with cleaning solvent or release
agent. This will prevent conveyor bars from
sticking. Neglect could result in conveyor bar
damage or drive chain failure.

MaintenanceMaintenance
Following the maintenance schedules and procedures
will maintain the paver in top operating condition and
provide years of trouble-free operation. Refer to the
Engine Operator’s Manual accompanying your paver for
more detailed engine service information.
If any maintenance must be
performed while the engine is running, DO NOT leave
paver unattended.
Changing oil and cleaning the paver
should only be done in a designated area where the
oil and chemicals can be contained. Discard these
by-products in accordance with environmental
regulations.
Use only ultra low sulfur diesel fuel.
Always ll up with fuel at the end of the day to prevent
condensation in the fuel tank.
When performing any routine maintenance, always
include the previous routine maintenance hours in the
higher hourly schedule.
• Park the paver on a at surface.
• Lower all attachments to ground level.
• Place joysticks in neutral and engage the neutral lock
lever.
• Run engine at 1/2 speed (RPMs) without load for three
to ve minutes, then reduce to slow idle.
