Extendable Push RollerExtendable Push Roller
The extendable, oscillating push roller option offers
even more exibility for maintaining contact with an
asphalt material truck. (Figure 4-84) Extending the
rollers various lengths as needed allows better contact
for material trucks of all sizes, decreasing the load on
the paver so it’s easier to push the truck.
Use the same procedures in the previous section for
operation.

with poly-pad tracks, but a rubber track option is also
available.

Some screed operators prefer horizontal ight screws.
(Figure 4-85) This option is not an add-on option--it
must be ordered when purchased.

TopconTopcon®® Sonic and Dual Grade Sonic and Dual Grade
ControlControl
Topcon® sonic grade control, dual grade control and
slope options offer paving professionals screed control
for improving smoothness along with assuring accurate
slope and material thickness. Sonic trackers continu-
ously measure the elevation over the surface, automati-
cally averaging and adjusting the tow point cylinder on
the paver. These controllers send signals to the screed
to precisely maintain mat thickness and slope as you
pave. Most states require this technology for state road
paving jobs to ensure smoothness and continuity on
roadways.
Choose from one of three options: Sonic Grade Control
(one side); Dual Grade Control or Dual Grade Control
and Slope. The dual grade controls automatically main-
tain a set depth on both ends of the screed. The Dual
Grade and Slope controls maintain a set depth on one
end of the screed and a set slope on the other end.
The paver must be pre-wired for TopCon technology. If
equipped with this option, be sure to unplug and store
the system after use. Always recap the cables to pro-
tect the connectors when not in use.
To initiate the TopCon P-32 system:
5. Start the engine and idle a few minutes to warm
hydraulic oil throughout the machine.
6. Connect the P32 plugs into the connectors on the
cables extending from the right side of the main
control panel column. (Figure 4-86) Each plug will
only t into its correct connector.
