Feeders and Augers
Dual feeders and augers are controlled
through variable speed hydrostatic
drives and operate independently of
forward speed. Right and left side
feeders operate independently of each
other. Feeder drive and drive chains are
located outside the mainframe for easy
accessibility.
Feeder flights are constructed of
heavy-duty bushed roller chain with
forged steel flight bars sliding over
replaceable, abrasion-resistant drag
pans with 360-440 Brinell hardness.
Long life auger system consists of
segmented, 406 mm (16") diameter,
cast Ni-Hard steel hemi-screw augers.
Auger and hanger bearings have built-
in steel shields for greater protection.
Augers are driven independently by
two motors. Each auger is controlled
by an adjustable material flow switch.
Manual override is provided. Auger
height is hydraulically adjustable
192 mm (7.6").
Ventilation System
The ventilation system helps remove
asphalt gas, vapors and fumes from the
auger chamber area. The system
consists of a hydraulically driven
exhaust fan, ducts and exhaust stack to
vent asphalt gas, vapors and fumes
away from the operator and screed
areas. The design provides good
visibility to the feeders and a cooler
operating environment.
Operator Stations
The operator stations include dual
control consoles, each with lockable
vandal cover, steering wheel, meter per
minute (feet per minute) gauge, auger
raise/lower switch, hopper raise/lower
switch, left and right feeder
auto/off/man switch, left and right
feeder speed control dial, left and right
auger auto/off/man switch, manual
auger reverse switch, screed vibrator
switch, engine start switch, propel
forward/reverse control lever,
pave/travel/maneuver speed range
selection switch, horn, maximum speed
control dial, secondary brake switch,
screed lift switch up/down, extender
in/out switches and engine speed
switch.
The center control console includes the
power key switch, left and right
console selection switch, warning
beacon switch, working light switch,
generator switch, screed
counterbalance switch and the horn
button. Analog gauges are provided for
engine coolant temperature, engine oil
pressure, hydraulic oil temperature and
fuel level. An electronic monitoring
system (EMS-III) with horn and light
indicators monitor the left track
pressure, right track pressure, system
voltage, engine temperature, operator
error, hydraulic oil level, propel
system, charge filter, material feed and
screed plate heat. A digital display
provides engine rpm, service code
information, hour meter, gear selection
and meter per minute (feet per minute).
Steering
Hydraulic power assist steering system
provides smooth, low effort steering by
means of a steering wheel. Electric
over hydraulic dual path differential
steering assures precise machine
control. Steering commands are
independent of propel speed.
Three steering modes including pave,
travel and maneuver are selectable at
the operator consoles. When in the
pave or travel mode, the steering range
is electrically reduced to minimize
abrupt steering movements. When in
maneuver mode, the steering system is
at full range, allowing the paver to
pivot-turn by counter-rotating the
tracks.
Inside Turning Radius:
914 mm (3')
Brakes
The service braking system consists of
a closed-loop, hydrostatic system that
provides dynamic braking.
The secondary braking system includes
a spring applied, hydraulically released
brake which is actuated by a switch on
each operator console.
