Operator’s StationSingle operator's station designed for comfort and optimum efficiency.

Control ConsoleFull instrumentation package keeps operator informed of all major systems status.

International symbols and functionalword descriptions are shown for allcontrols.

Gauges are analog type for quickinterpretation.

Warning lights illuminate and hornalert operator to:

• High hydraulic oil temperature;• Low hydraulic oil level;• Low engine oil pressure; or• High engine coolant temperature.

Speed control allows the operator todial a maximum paving speed. Onceset, the paver returns to the preset speedwhen propel lever is in full forwardposition.

Single operator’s station slides fromside to side and includes fully equippedinstrument console and steering wheelwith lockable cover.

Operator’s seat pivots 152 mm (6") tothe left or right to further improveoperator visibility.

Low-mounted engine providesunobstructed forward visibility.

Left and right feeders and left and rightaugers are all controlled independently,eliminating the need for feeder gates.

Once the feeder speeds are set, theratio of feeder speed to the maximumauger speed is automaticallymaintained by the material handlingcontroller, regardless of propel rate orpaving widths.

To control mix delivery, the operatorsets a speed rate for each feeder thatwill maintain the desired mix level inthe left and right auger chambers.

Component wear is reduced becausefull feeders run at slower speeds.

Potential for mix segregation isminimized because head of materialremains constant.

Gateless feeders always run full of mixregardless of the speed required to fillthe auger chamber.

When changes in feeder speed areneeded, delivery of mix to the augers isimmediate.

Drag pans are constructed withabrasion resistant, heat treated steel.

Feeder flight bars are forged steel andpinned to two strands of roller bushedchain.

Potential for segregation is reducedwith slower running feeders, especiallywhen working with large stone mixes.

Exclusive Feeder/Auger Control SystemPrecise mix delivery through the most advanced material handling system.

Gateless Feeders Slower running feeders reduce wear and segregation.

5

Feeder Design Improves Mix FlowTunnel construction helps minimize segregation.

Distance between the two feeders issignificantly reduced because the augerdrive assembly is not part of the tractor.

Narrow distance between feedersallows flow from both feeders to blendtogether easily as they discharge intothe auger cavity. This design helpsminimize segregation.

Since the auger case is not attached tothe tractor, voids under the chain caseare eliminated.

Feeders have outboard mountedmotors, reducers and feeder drivechains to maximize the live feedertunnel area.

Simplified service access through ahinged door on the operator’s station.

Outboard Feeder Drives Increased live tunnel area provides easy servicing.

6

Large swing-open doors and panelsprovide access to all service areas.

Transverse engine mounting providesground-level access to hydraulic pumpsand engine cooling system.

Color coded and numbered wiringsystem simplifies troubleshootingelectrical systems.

Lubrication fittings are clustered forquick service.

Propulsion and material controllersprovide diagnostic capability fortrouble shooting hydraulic andelectrical systems.

ServiceabilitySimplified service means more paving and less maintenance time.

Adjustable Height Auger Assembly Promotes mat consistency and minimizes segregation.

Auger assembly can be hydraulicallyadjusted 171 mm (6.75").

When working with larger stone mixes,segregation can often be eliminated orminimized by raising the augers to allowmix to flow unrestricted under the augerassembly.

Ability to raise the auger assemblysimplifies loading and unloading from atransport vehicle.

SteeringSteering is full power via an automotive-type steering wheel at the operator’sstation. Electric-over-hydraulic dual pathdifferential steering assures precisemachine control. Steering commands areindependent of propel speed. Insideturning radius is 2,9 m (9' 6").

The steer assist feature improvesmaneuverability and enhancescomponent life by slowing down thedrive speed on one side of the propelsystem and speeding up the otheraccording to steering commands.

BrakesService brake system: Closed-loophydrostatic system provides dynamicbraking. Parking brake system: Spring-applied/hydraulically released brake onwheel drives. Parking brake actuated byhand control at the operator’s station orautomatically when engine is shut downand whenever power switch is in offmode. Brake systems meet SAErecommended practice J2118 Feb94.

A brake interlock system helps preventdriving through the secondary brake.
