9. Move the Pump Speed Control Lever to “slow”
position. This will prevent the machine from “free-
wheeling” down the ramps.
10. The Throttle should be set at 1/2 minmum to full
open.
11. Clear the area at the bottom of the ramps of all per-
sonnel and other obstructions.
12. Simultaneously place both Track Control Levers in
“forward” position, allowing the Paver to travel to
the ground.
NOTE:
The operator should ride on the Paver
with one hand on both Track Control Levers at all
times, to maintain positive control of the Paver.
Emergency stops are accomplished by placing
both Track Control Levers in “neutral” position
Loading With ramps
1. Move the Paver to a position that aligns with the
ramps so the Paver will be in position to load in
reverse. Stop the Paver.
2. Move the Pump Speed Control Lever at 1/3 to 1/2
speed.
3. Place the Throttle Control at full open position.
4. Raise the Screed to the “full up” position with the
Screed Control Lever.
5.
(Fig. 13)
To avoid bumping the rear edge of the
Screed on the ramps, turn the Depth Adjustment
Screws counterclockwise (7 or 8 turns).
6. Fully engage both Track Control Levers rearward,
allowing the Paver to move slowly up the ramps.
The operator should ride on the Paver with a hand
on both Track Control Levers at all times to stop
the Paver if travel is not straight.
7. Immediately after the Paver is on the vehicle flat
bed, STOP the Paver.
8. Move the Pump Speed Control Lever to “slow”
position and reduce the Throttle to “idle” position.
CAUTION
NEVER attempt to adjust travel direction (even
slightly) while traveling on the ramps. Instead,
back up and onto the truck bed, off of the
ramps, and re-align the Paver with the ramps.

CAUTION
NEVER attempt to adjust travel direction (even
slightly) while traveling on the ramps. Instead,
back up and onto the truck bed, off of the
ramps, and re-align the Paver with the ramps.
Do NOT walk beside, behind or in front of the
Paver during loading procedures.
ALWAYS place the Pump Speed Control Lever
in “slow” position when operating the Paver
on the truck bed. ALWAYS load the Paver in
“reverse”.
Check for and remove oil, grease, fuel or other
substance on the ramps that may cause the
Tracks to lose traction or slip.
Do NOT wash down the Paver with asphalt
releasing agent just before loading on the
vehicle. The Paver Track may become wet and
may slip on the ramps.
