Paving forms must have a good solid sub base to sit on to keep the paving forms from sinking. ACP recommends metal forms made especially
to carry the weight of the paver. The 6036 Paver will be equipped with flat flange bogie wheels that are 3 inches in width to ride on top of the
paving form. For special applications contact the ACP Service Department. (1-800-643-0095)
MACHINE SETUP
Assembly of the 4836B Paving Machine can normally be accomplished by two to three men with a set of hand tools and a strong lifting device.
Plan ahead! Know where your crown is positioned and how many inserts need to be assembled. An open and level working area is necessary for
the assembly of the paver.

Direction of Travel
Disconnect the carriage travel chain at the carriage by loosening the
chain tightener or by removing the chain master link. Pull the chain
over the top of the idler sprocket, roll up the chain and store it by the
paving carriage. Next roll up the hydraulic hoses that stretch across
the top of the machine frame to the travel bogies on the idler end of
the machine and store them by the power unit insert. Remove the car-
riage reversing paddles from the carriage rail for re-installation after
the carriage travel limits have been determined. Truss frame inserts
are added to the machine by splitting the machine at the hinge point
of the power unit insert section. Support the power unit insert at the
hinge point with barrels or scaffolding so that when
1. INSERT ASSEMBLY
- If your machine is longer than the stan-
dard 36 feet you will have to assemble additional inserts separately.
Add or remove machine inserts between the drive end (Power Unit)
and the idler end of the machine. For long machine lengths (over 60
feet) machine frame stress can be minimized by installing the short-
est inserts, 3 feet and 6 feet, near the two end sections of the
machine. If the paving carriage is already installed, move the car-
riage to a position under the operator’s platform.
WARNING! Before removing the carriage travel chain,
the carriage needs to be secured to the carriage rail
with wire or blocked on both sides with vise grips. This
will stop the carriage from rolling when the chain is
removed.
