1. Followstart-upprocedures(see Starting The
Engine in Section 6).
2. Position paver to start of mat.
3. Open cut-off gates under auger.
4. Adjust screed as needed (see Setting Screed To
Pave in Section 6).
5. Openhopperwingsintoworkingposition.Whenrst
starting to pave allow only a partial load of asphalt to
enter the hopper.
Never fold hopper wings fully in when
hopper is full of asphalt.
6. TurntheLEFTCONVEYORAUTO/OFF/MANUAL
andRIGHTCONVEYORAUTO/OFF/MANUAL
switches to the AUTO position. Set speed.
NOTE: The conveyors will run at the selected speed but
will turn off and on with the sonic augers.
NOTE: The conveyor speed can be adjusted while
paving in Automatic mode.
7. TurntheLEFTAUGERAUTO/OFF/MANUALand
RIGHTAUGERAUTO/OFF/MANUALswitchesand
theLEFTCONVEYORAUTO/OFF/MANUALand
RIGHTCONVEYORAUTO/OFF/MANUALswitches
to the AUTO position. This will turn on the augers at
fullspeed.Atthispoint,theLEFTAUGERandRIGHT
AUGER dials control the pile height at the endgate.
When the material starts getting into the sonic
range, then the auger speed will start to slow down
proportionately until the augers turn off. The augers
will turn back on when material level drops.
NOTE: When endgates are completely closed, pile
height must be set to the highest point. When the
endgates are all the way out, the pile height will
be lowered so that material will not push around
the front of the endgates.
8. When material starts to discharge from under
screed,theSCREEDLIFTRAISE/FLOATswitchon
thedashshouldbesettotheFLOATposition).
9. Startpaving.Moveslowlyatrstsoadjustmentscan
be made to screed.
Never backup with cut-off gates open.
10. To prevent excessive handwork, about 2 to 3 ft. (0.6
to0.9m)fromendofpull,settheLEFTCONVEYOR
AUTO/OFF/MANUALandRIGHTCONVEYOR
AUTO/OFF/MANUALswitchestotheOFFposition

begin next pull. Position and set screed endgate on
jointsidebackto0ft.orushwithbottomofmain
screed.Repeatprocessasdoneinrstpull.
11. The paver can operate using one side only.
However, material from opposite side cannot be
augered to the working side. The auger center
cover prevents this. It is possible to leave both
cutoffs shut and open the endgates on screed. This
method is generally used in doing potholes and
patching.
