Routine Maintenance
Preparing Paver for
Maintenance
If any maintenance must be
performed while the engine is running, DO NOT leave
paver unattended.
1. Park the paver on a flat surface.
2. Lower all attachments to ground level.
3. Place joysticks in neutral.
4. Run engine at 1/2 speed (RPMs) without load for
three to five minutes., then reduce to slow idle.
5. Place ignition switch in the OFF position.
6. Follow the previous instructions for raising and
lowering the conveyor bed for procedures requiring
access to the undercarriage and tracks.
Every 10 Hours or Daily Routine
Maintenance
1. Clean off paving material and spray cleaning solvent
or release agent on the wearplate, extensions, and
any other area that has been in contact with the
paving material. Cleaning should be performed
while the paver is hot.
If asphalt material is allowed to
remain on the paver overnight, possible damage and
increased maintenance costs can result upon start-
up the next day. Poor housekeeping will increase
maintenance costs.
2. Raise conveyors and place safety prop into position.
(Figure 5-4) Clean any asphalt material off all flat
surfaces. Remove any debris from screed and
check for leaks.
3. Lubricate the required parts. (Page 5-7)
4. Check light bulbs and replace if needed.
5. Check battery cables and connections.
6. Check coolant level. Fill if needed.
7. Check for loose, worn or damaged hoses, tubes
clamps. Tighten, repair or replace promptly.
8. Keep the fuel tank full to prevent condensation.
Always fill at the end of the day.
9. Check engine oil level. (Page 5-12)
10. Check hydraulic oil level. (Page 5-16)
11. Perform any other engine preventive maintenance
described in the Engine Operator’s Manual.
NOTE: In cold weather, keep conveyor flight chains
properly oiled with cleaning solvent or release
agent. This will prevent conveyor bars from
sticking. Neglect could result in conveyor bar
damage or drive chain failure.

1. Check air filter. (Page 5-13)
2. The FIRST 50 HOURS, change engine oil and filters,
then every 250 hours thereafter. (Page 5-13)
3. Check all battery connections and remove any
corrosion present.
4. Drain water separator (if needed). (Page 5-16)
5. Check torque hub oil level. Refill if needed. (Page
5-6)
6. Lubricate grease fittings on the flight screw on both
sides of the screed, the fitting on the depth screw,
and the fittings on the flange bearings located on top
of the extension screed. Grease nuts on extension
screws.
