NOTE:
A matched pair of ramps is required.
1.
(Fig. 11)
The ramps MUST be of sufficient
strength to support the machine. Whenever possi-
ble, the use of strong wood covered steel ramps is
recommended as well as some type of center sup-
porting block.
2. The ramps MUST be firmly attached to the truck
or trailer bed with NO step between the bed and
the ramps.
3. Incline of ramps MUST be less than 15 degrees
(ramp length MUST be at least 16 feet long).
4. Ramp width MUST be at least 1-1/2 times the
Track width.
5. Block the front and rear of the tires on the truck or
trailer (if so equipped, engage the parking brake).
Unloading With Ramps
1.
(Fig. 12)
Remove chain binder from tiedown
points on the front of the Paver.
2. Start the Engine according to starting procedure in
this manual.
3. With Pump Speed Control Lever in “slow” posi-
tion and Throttle open about 1/4, place the Track
Control Levers in “reverse”. The Paver will move
backwards, releasing tension from the two tiedown
chains on the rear of the Paver.
4.
(Fig. 12)
Remove the chains from both tiedown
points on the rear of the Paver.
5. Move the Screed Control Lever to “up” position
and hold until Screed is raised completely.
6.
(Fig. 13)
To avoid bumping the rear edge of the
Screed on the bottom of the ramps, turn the Depth
Adjustment Screws 7 or 8 turns counterclockwise.
This raises the rear edge of the Screed approxi-
mately 1 inch.
7. Using the Track Control Levers, align the Paver
Tracks with the ramps. When unloading from the
rear, rotate and align the Paver Tracks. To rotate
place one Track Control Lever in “forward” and
the other Lever in “reverse”.
8. Move the Paver forward to the ramps and stop the
Paver by placing both Track Control Levers in
“neutral” position.
CAUTION
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.
