9. Startpaving.Moveslowlyatrstsoadjustmentscan

Never backup with cut-off gates
open. Cut-off gates are designed to break away
from cylinders when hitting a manhole or other hard
object. This only occurs going forward not in reverse.
10. To prevent excessive handwork, about 2 to 3 ft. (0.6

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.
Conveyor Operation
Automatic Mode
The conveyor is a very important part of the paver
and for this reason close attention should be given on
integrating its operation into the total operation of the
paver. Use the following procedure for operating the
conveyor in automatic mode.
Never work on paver with engine
running.
1. Spray the conveyor drive chains periodically. Spray
several times a day with cleaning solvent or release
agent.
2. When conveyors are running and cutoff gates
are shut, there will be spillage the full width of
conveyors. This is normal. To help prevent this
spillage, work conveyors manually when loading
hopper and not paving.
3. Irregular movement of the conveyor indicates that
a problem may exist with the conveyor chains.
To eliminate this problem an adjustment to the
conveyor chain may be necessary (see Conveyor
Flight Chain Adjustment in Section 7).
NOTE: Check adjustments every 100 hours.
Never work on conveyors with engine
running.
Never let paver sit while conveyors
are turning.
To prevent ight chains from sticking,
lubricate them sufciently at the end of the day.
4. TurntheLEFTCONVEYORAUTO/OFF/MANUAL
andRIGHTCONVEYORAUTO/OFF/MANUAL
switches to the AUTO position.
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.
