OPERATION
1448 PLUS
6. Remove one burner (G, Fig. 26) from the
burner support tube (H, Fig. 26) and light with
a striker. Place the burner back into the burner
support tube.
7. Light the second burner in the same way.
8. Re-adjust the regulator to 15-20 psi
(103-138 kPa).
CAUTION
The burner flame may be invisible in sunlight.
Do NOT place the burner near your skin or
clothing. Severe burns may result.
Screed surfaces will be HOT. Do NOT touch.
Severe burns will result.
9. Do NOT leave the paver unattended with the
burners on. If the flame is extinguished
quickly, close valves. Wait five minutes before
re-lighting the burners to allow fumes to
dissipate.
10. When the burners are not in use, close valve on
the tank, crack and close valves on the “Y”
valve to release gas pressure in the hoses.
PAVING AT THE JOBSITE
The following areas should be "sprayed down"
with asphalt releasing agent using the washdown
hose before paving and four times or more during
the work day. The following areas should also be
cleaned thoroughly after every use of the paver:
•
Hopper, augers, and underside of the screed
•
Push rollers
•
Hydraulic fluid reservoir
•
Asphalt depth adjustment screws
•
External track and sprockets
•
Any part of the paver that contacts asphalt
WARNING
Do NOT spray tracks before loading or unload-
ing paver on a truck or trailer, because this
could cause loss of traction.
Positioning the Paver
1. Warm-up the engine.
2. Place throttle in full “open” position. See
“Indicators and Controls” on page 23.
3. Pull out the exhaust diverter knob. The exhaust
will preheat the screed in preparation to lay
asphalt. The throttle should always be at full
speed. The exhaust can be periodically re-
diverted through the muffler.
4. Use the travel control levers to move the paver
into position for laying asphalt.
5. Move the screed control lever to "down" and
hold it until the screed lift cylinder fully
extends (this allows the screed to float freely).
6. Lower the screed onto a starting pad of asphalt
or blocks that are equal in height to the desired
paving thickness.
7. Manually adjust the screed depth control
screws to a neutral position.
8. Slowly turn the screws toward the "up"
position until a slight amount of tension is felt.
After the tension is felt, the screed is ready to
lay asphalt that measures the approximate
thickness of the starting pad or blocks.
9. Move the right and left flow gate control levers
to the "closed" position and hold until both
gates are fully closed.
10. Set the alignment guide on each side of the
lower front frame.
