Operating The 75 TRTP Continued
• After the engine has been started and warmed up, increase the throttle to the maximum engine
RPM
• To start paving in the forward motion, pull the finish tube lever [A] down and push the travel tube
lever [B] up. The finish tube will rotate in opposite direction (CW) of the travel tube (CCW).
• To go in reverse, pull the travel tube lever [B] down and push the finish tube lever [A] up.
• To make all the tubes travel in the same direction (whether forward or reverse), push both the
travel tube and the finish tube levers in the same direction.
• (If applicable) To turn the machine push the steering leg lever [C] up, this will extend the steering
leg. The forward or reverse motion of the tubes controls the rotation of the machine. Once the
machine is turned to the desired distance pull the lever down to retract the steering leg.
• Always try to maintain an equal amount of overhang on either side of the paving path.
• Be mindful of any rocks, high spots, or other obstructions that may appear on the paving forms or
surface. If one side of the paver gets stuck on an obstacle it will cause the paver to turn and it will
need to be squared back up on the forms or surface.
Stopping the Paver
To stop the paver’s movement, return the control levers to their neutral position.
DO NOT use excessive pressure on the controls. Excessive pressure does not increase the reaction time
of the machine and can damage the controls.
