STARTING THE PAVER
1.0
STARTING
To start the paver first check to make sure the forward and reverse levers are in the neutral
position. The paver will not start if the red indicator light is not “ON” indicating a neutral position.
Turn key switch to the “ON” position, adjust steer handles until red indicator light is “ON”
Turn key switch back to the left, position “PRE-HEAT” count to 5
Turn key switch to “START”.
Y If engine does not start quickly, repeat the PRE-HEAT step
Adjust engine RPM as needed for smooth idle.
CAUTION: Do not Pre-heat more than 5 seconds at a time, or Glow Plug failure will occur.
CAUTION: Do not use any starting fluid, or engine warranty will be VOID!!!!
2.0 DRIVING
The paver will move forward by pushing both levers forward and will move backwards by pulling
the levers back. Steering a course is accomplished by adjusting the speed of one handle relative
to the other. HINT - to make driving easy, push both handles forward to desired speed, then
use only one handle to fine-tune your direction.
3.0 STEERING TENSION
The steer handles can be adjusted for operator preference on tension, (or drag). In a loose
position the handles will spring return to neutral, this requires constant pressure on the handles by
the operator. Tension can be added to the point were the handles are locked and cannot be
moved. The ideal setting is somewhere in-between were the handles have enough tension to stay
in the position the operator chooses, but not so stiff as to produce fatigue.
To adjust tension: loosen or tighten the nut located at the center of the aluminum discs were the
handles are attached.
4.0
