1.1 Starting the paver finisher
Before starting the paver finisher
Before starting the diesel engine and beginning operation, the following steps must
be performed:
- Daily maintenance of the paver finisher (see chapter F).
m
Check the operating hour counter to determine whether or not additional mainte-
nance work (e.g. monthly or annual maintenance) must be performed.
- Check the safety devices and protective devices.
"Normal" starting
Set the drive lever (1) to the centre position and the speed adjuster (2) to minimum.
- Insert the ignition key (3) in position "0".
m
The lights should be switched off during starting to reduce the current drain on
the battery.

The vehicle cannot be started if the "Start inhibit" (4) or "Error message" (5) indicator
lamps are on.
The "Start inhibit" indicator lamps shows that the following states are present on the
operating panel or remote control:
- Emergency stop button (6) pressed
- Auger function (7) switched to "AUTO" or "MANUAL"
- Conveyor function (8) switched to "AUTO" or "MANUAL"
The "Error message" indicator lamp shows that an engine fault prevents the starting
process.
- Turn ignition key (3) to position 1 and wait for the preheat check (9) to go off.
- Press the starter button (10) to start the engine. Run the starter continuously for a
maximum of 20 seconds, then take a break for 2 minutes!

If the engine does not start and the Error message (5) indicator lamp flashes, then the
electronic engine control system has activated the start inhibit.
To deactivate the start inhibit, turn the system off with the ignition key (3) for
approx. 30 s.
m
If the engine still has not started after two attempts, ascertain the cause!
