BDF Assembly & Set-up
DRAG PAN INSTALLATION
• Attach the drag pan hanger bracket to the upper
carriage mount on the top of the paving carriage
• Assemble the drag pan & burlap drag.
• Adjust the angle of the rectangular mounting tube so
that it is straight.
• Using the crank handle, adjust the “H” Frame of the
drag pan so
that it is 5” to
7” above the
bottom of the
paving rollers.
• Attach the drag
pan chain links
even into the
bracket on the
fifth link (SEE PICTURE).
• Pivot the carriage so the tube is parallel to the
centerline of the deck and adjust the bolt so that it
holds the tube parallel as it travels across the deck.
• Repeat procedure with the carriage pivoted in the
opposite direction and tighten the jam nuts to hold
bolts in place.

shafts.
• Looking at the front of the carriage, slide the clockwise
auger onto the right-hand shaft and the counter
clockwise auger onto the left-hand shaft.

guard
assembly

crank and
set the augers 1/8” to 1/4” above the bottom of the
paving rollers as a starting point.
• NOTE: Grease the auger shafts.
STRAIGHTENING THE MACHINE
• When the attachments have been installed on the
paving carriage, maximize machine weight by filling
the gas and hydraulic tanks.
• Be sure that the paving carriage has been moved to
the center of the machine to align and straighten the
machine frame.
• Adjust the gap in between the frame sections by
raising or lowering the machine truss by adjusting
the crown bolts so that the distance matches top and
bottom, also use line of sight or a string-line to make
sure frame is straight. (SEE PICTURE)
• With the manual crown adjuster, both sides of the truss
can be adjusted on
either side by turning
the nut SEE
PICTURE).
