Operation
Heated End GateHeated End Gate
The heated end gate also
heats the edge of the end gate,
producing a smoother joint
as you pave. (Figure 4-95)
(When the heated endgate is
turned on, the leading heating
element turns off on the side
you’re heating.) The heated end
gate switches are located on
the electric heat control box. 5
Figure 4-95. Heated Endgate
To operate the heated end gates:
1. Start the paver and idle until the engine reaches
normal operating temperature.
2. Raise the screed plate one or two inches off the
ground.
3. Turn the electric heat control box power ON by
turning the power switch up.
4. Press the Start Heat button. The HEAT ON indicator
light will illuminate and stay on as long as the
element is heating (approximately 20 minutes).
5. Turn the left or right end gate switch up to the ON
position.
6. You can restart the cycle by repeating Step 4 if
needed.
