OPERATION
Unloading with Ramps
WARNING
ALWAYS place the pump speed control lever in
"slow" position when operating the paver on
the truck bed. ALWAYS unload the paver in
"forward."
Do not walk beside, behind or in front of the
paver during unloading procedures.
1. Remove the chain binders from tie-down
points on the front of the paver (Fig. 28).
2. Start the engine. See “Starting the Engine” on
page 37.
3. Move the travel control levers to "reverse" and
open the throttle approximately 1/4.
4. Move the pump speed control lever to "slow."
The paver will move rearward, releasing
tension from the two tie-down chains on the
rear of the paver.
5. Stop the paver.
6. Remove the chains from both tie-down points
on the rear of the paver (Fig. 28).
7. Move the screed control lever to "up" position
and hold until screed is completely raised.
8. Turn the depth adjustment screws seven or
eight turns counter-clockwise to avoid
bumping the rear edge of the screed on the
bottom of the ramps. This raises the rear edge
of the screed approximately 1" (25 mm)
(Fig. 29).

9. Align the paver with the ramps by using the
travel control levers. If unloading from the
rear, rotate and align the paver tracks. Rotate
by placing one travel control lever in "forward"
and the other in "reverse."
10. Move the paver forward to the ramps. Stop the
paver by placing both travel control levers in
"neutral."
11. Make sure the pump speed control lever is in
the "slow" position. This position prevents the
machine from "freewheeling" down the ramps.
12. The throttle should be set between 1/2
and full open.
13. Clear the area at the bottom of the ramps of all
personnel and obstructions.
14. Place both travel control levers in "forward."
Move the pump speed control lever forward so
that the paver travels to the ground.
NOTE:
The operator should ride on the
paver with both hands on the travel control
levers. Place both travel control levers in
"neutral" to stop.
