following control features to the operator.
1.
SCREED LIFT switch
In the up, LIFT position, the screed moves up.
In the down, FLOAT position, the screed moves
down. The center, HOLD position, is the screed
hold position.

the paving machine is not required to operate
the horn.

EMERGENCY STOP switch
When pushed in, this switch cuts off all power to
the paving machine, except to the horn and work
lights, and stops the engine. After the switch is
pushed in, it must be pulled out before the
engine can be restarted and paving machine
functions operated.
4.
FLOW GATE switches

gates, which control the amount of material
reaching the augers. In the up, OPEN position,
the flow gates open, and in the down, CLOSE
position, the flow gates close. In the center,
OFF position, the flow gates remain in position.
5.
AUGER/CONVEYOR switches
Select between center OFF position, down
"MAN", and up "AUTO" for control of the
auger/conveyor systems. In the up, "AUTO"
position, the auger/conveyor systems are
automatically controlled by the position of the
feed limit switch. In the down, "MAN" position,
auger/conveyor system operates
regardless of the position of the feed limit switch.
In either position, the feeder control switch on
the screed control panel must be in the ON
position.
