SECTION 3
OPERATION
Section 3
• CHECK all height restrictions prior to loading the
machine as all Drop-Deck trailers and flat-bed trailers
have different dimensions . Paving Carriage may need to
be removed for legal transport . Tighten the leg clamps
on the four legs (SEE PICTURE 2) .
• DO NOT secure the BDF to the trailer over the truss
frame in the center of the machine . Use the tie-down
loops on the end frames (SEE PICTURE 3) of the machine
using chains .
• Tighten the chains by pulling towards the center of the
machine .
• When loading
with
Bogie Wheel Frames attached to the
legs –
IT IS IMPORTANT
to keep the frame & bogies
elevated above the trailer bed. Multiple 2 x 4’s or a 4 x
4 block needs to be place in between the bogie wheels
and under the bogie frame (SEE PICTURE 4) . Screw or
nail the wood to secure it to the truck bed .
• When loading
without
Bogie Wheel Frames - Place
multiple 2 x 4’s or a 4 x 4 the width of the trailer under
the leg yokes on both ends of the machine (SEE PICTURE
5) . Secure the wood by screwing or nailing it to the truck
bed .
• When loading the machine with the Paving Carriage
attached - block the carriage so that the machine or
carriage weight does not rest on the paving rollers .
Place the blocks under the end frames of the carriage
and nail them to the deck . (SEE PICTURE 6) . With the
carriage frame now setting on the blocks, adjust the hold
down rollers, located on the carriage hanger frame at
the top of the carriage, to the lowest position . Using the
leg cranks or power leg option, lower the machine just
enough so that the carriage rollers are not tight against
the carriage rail . This allows movement of the machine
truss while transporting and will not cause damage
to the carriage rail . If the paving carriage is loaded
separately, block the carriage in the same manner under
the end frame and secure the carriage to the truck .
PLEASE NOTE:
Whether transporting with or without
carriage, the carriage rollers cannot rest on the
trailer bed and need to be blocked under the end
frames .
