Please contact AEC Product Support department if you have any questions regarding any
service or maintenance of your Bridge Deck Paving Machine.
Daily Service:
• AFTER EACH POUR, clean the machine as soon as
possible. Lightly coat the paving rollers with oil.
• Inspect engine hydraulic pump drive coupling for
alignment and water.
• Check the engine oil level on both power units.
• Inspect all hydraulic hoses for damage or leaks
• Check the battery water level on both power units.
Engine Service:
Allen Bridge Deck Finishers use two engines. One engine
is mounted on the stationary power unit to power machine
travel and paving carriage travel. The other is mounted on
the paving carriage to power the paving rollers, augers and
various optional carriage accessories. Consult your Owner’s
Manual for recommended service procedures.
To insure the best engine performance and life, a
strict schedule of routine service and maintenance is
recommend- ed. Change the engine oil after the first 50
Hours of operation and every 250 Hours thereafter.
Check the level of hydraulic oil in the oil reservoir on a
daily basis. Check the oil before starting the engine. Run
the engine for a few minutes to purge any air from the
lines and then check the oil again. Maintain the oil level
within 2 inches of full but leave at least 1 inch of air space
for expansion. The reservoir level should be checked after
hose length has been added and after the machine is
lengthened. Approximately one gallon of hydraulic oil is
required to fill 100 feet of 1/2” hose. Use AW-68 hydraulic
fluid or Hydraulic Transmission Fluid Type C-2. Do not use
engine oil. Use clean containers when adding hydraulic
oil to the reservoir. Take every precaution, to avoid
contaminating the oil in the system. Thoroughly clean all
hydraulic components before loosening or removing for
repairs.
The hydraulic oil filter element(s) should be replaced
with a 10 micron filter element after the first 50 hours
of operation and every 300 hours thereafter. Replace
hydraulic filters each time the hydraulic oil is replaced.
Before paving or transporting the machine, secure all hoses
to keep them away from sharp edges and moving parts.
Before connecting hoses clean the quick disconnects and
fittings.
