Maintenance
Clean the top platform, steps, railings, ladder and
catwalk to prevent accidents during operation . Clean
the instruction plates, decals and gauges so they can
be seen and read by the operator at all times . Replace
any decals or information plates that are damaged or
illegible. Clean all lights and reflectors so they can be
seen by other vehicles .
Storage
Do not store equipment where it is
subjected to damage from dirt and weather
A stored machine requires as much periodic
maintenance as a machine at work . Stored units
must receive periodic scheduled maintenance . Many
instances of customer downtime and dissatisfaction
can be traced to parts that became defective due to
inattention during storage .
The following procedures will help maintain equipment
and lessen downtime:
1 . Thoroughly clean the unit as you would at the end
of the day . Be sure there is no asphalt in the tank,
pump or piping . Use (see
Maintenance Intervals
Chart in Section 7) to check and/or clean every
component listed .
2 . Replace any worn or damaged parts . Touch up any
scratched or chipped painted surfaces .
The GPS is a space-based global navigation satellite
system that provides reliable location and time
information in all weather and at all times and anywhere
on or near the Earth when and where there is an
unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites .
It is maintained by the United States government and is
freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver .
GPS is the normal method of measuring distributor
ground speed . The GPS receiver is mounted on the
roof of the cab and provides input to the Plus One
Controller . This information is used to control the speed
of the variable speed hydraulic pump which provides
proportional control of the asphalt pump . This method
guarantees constant spray rates regardless of changes
in distributor ground speed .
NOTE: If Sensor signal is blocked by an object (e .g .
a tree or overhead structure) the system
will continue to spray at the same rate for
approximately 30 seconds .
Radar Horn (Option)
The radar speed sensor ( Figure 7-9 ) is used to
measure ground speed for the Maximizer 2B . It is
mounted on the outside of the truck frame . The radar
horn operates by directing a beam of microwave
energy (fixed frequency) at the ground and comparing
it with the frequency of energy reflected back from the
ground (return frequency) . The return frequency is then
proportional to the true ground speed of the Maximizer
2B .
In addition to providing speed information to the Plus
One Controller, this signal is used in calculating the
asphalt application rate . The radar horn is capable of full
time operation and is activated by the Master switch on
the Plus One Controller .
Keep the face of the radar horn clean . Mounting bolts
should be kept snug (10 Ft/Lb torque) but not over-tight
as the housing could be damaged . Mounting bracket to
truck frame bolts should be tightened to 30 Ft/Lb torque .
