Operating
The operation of this machine is easy to learn and is simple on the job. Without a whole lot of compo -
nents and parts, with the exception of hoses and hydraulic components, this machine is a basic con -
crete paver. However, with out proper instruction on how to operate this machine, it can very easily
become hazardous to the surrounding workers, as well as, being unable to finish a good pour.
• After you start the engine, increase the throttle to 80% of the maximum engine RPM.
• To start paving in the forward motion, push both of the operator levers up.
• For paving in the reverse mode, pull the levers down.
• To make all the tubes travel in the same direction (whether forward or reverse), push one lever up and
pull the other down.
• To turn the machine pull the steering leg lever all the way down. Once you have turned the desired
distance, push the lever back up to lift up the leg.
DO NOT use excessive pressure on the controls. Excessive pressure
does not increase the reaction time of the machine and can damage con-
trols.
Stopping
• Return all the tube control levers to the neutral position.
