MATERIAL FEED OPERATION
The 550-E allows you to configure the auger operation of the paver for both an Automatic mode
and a Manual mode. Use the automatic setting whenever possible to increase the useful life of
the feed augers, and to maintain a more consistent “Head of Material” in front of the screed. In
either mode the lower selector switch can be set to “IN” for reverse material flow.
SETUP Each side of the paver must be set independently.
