PRE-START CHECK (DAILY REQUIREMENT)
Before starting a paver for a regular run the operator should check the following details personally.
1- Engine oil level. It will be somewhat below hot oil level, (Dipstick gauge).
2 - Transmission oil level (14" on Dipstick).
3 - Engine fuel level.
4 - Coolant supply. (Radiator).
5 - Hydraulic fluid level (Reservoir sight gauge).
6 - Battery water level.
7 - Screed Heater fuel level.
8 - V-Belt Tightness and condition.
9 - Engine air filter condition. (Especially Diesel.)
10 - Air Filter Hose for loose clamps or leaks.
Before starting a paver for a regular run, the operator should make sure that the following requirements
have been attended to:
1 - Oil level in both transfer cases is adequate.

PAVER TRAVEL (NOT PAVING)
With the engine idling and main clutch disengaged;
1. Move both Track Switches to BRAKE position, and Follower Switch to OFF position.
2. Set the three transmission levers to produce the speed and direction of movement you wish. (If gears
do not mesh, jog main clutch and try again).
(a) Range Lever - #1 (slowest) through #4 (fastest).
(b) Direction Lever - Forward or Reverse.
(c) Speed Lever - #1 (slowest) through #6 (fastest).
3. Engage main clutch.
4. If slow movement is desired, as for unloading the paver or moving through a narrow area, leave the
Throttle Switch at idle and move the track switches to TRAVEL. Steer the paver by moving the switch of the
pivot track to OFF or BRAKE depending upon how sharp a turn is needed.
5. When fast movement is desired, move the Throttle Switch to SOFT START and move both Track
Switches to TRAVEL. Steer the paver by moving the switch of the pivot track to OFF or BRAKE depending on
