Screed Control Panels. The two screed control
panels allow the screed crew to control the screed
functions. With the exception of the fuel pump switch
mounted on the left control panel, all controls and
indicators located on the left and right screed control
panels are identical. For clarity, only the controls located
on the left control panel are described.
1.
SCREED FUEL PUMP indicator light
Indicates that the screed fuel pump is turned on.
2.
SCREED FUEL PUMP switch
In the up, ON position, the screed fuel pump is
on and in the down, OFF position, the screed
fuel pump is off. The screed fuel pump supplies
fuel to the screed burners and the fuel spray
washdown system.
3.
MAIN SCREED BURNER CONTROL switch
Ignites the main screed burners. In the down,
PREHEAT position, the glow plug is on. In the
up, SPRAY position, the main screed burner
solenoid valve is open. In the center, OFF
position, the glow plug is off and the solenoid
valve is closed.
4.
MAIN SCREED BURNER ON indicator light
Indicates that the main screed burner solenoid
valve is open.
5.
PANEL LIGHT switch
In the up, ON position, the panel light is on and
in the down, OFF position, the panel light is off.
6.
MAIN SCREED BLOWER indicator light
Indicates that power is applied to the main
screed blower motor.
7.
MAIN SCREED BLOWER switch
In the up, ON position, the main screed blower is
on and in the down, OFF position, the blower is
off.
8.
FEEDER CONTROL switch
In the up, ON position, the auger/conveyor
systems are turned on and in the down, OFF
position, the auger/conveyor system is turned
off. The switch operates in conjunction with the
auger/conveyor control switch on the paving
machine operator control console.
9.
FLOW GATE switch
Controls the up and down movement of the flow
gate. 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 remains in position.
10. EMERGENCY STOP switch
When pushed in, all power to the paving
machine is cut off, except to the horn and work
lights, and stops the engine. After the switch is
pushed, it must be pulled out before the engine
can be restarted and paving machine functions
operated.
11. AUGER/CONVEYOR
REVERSE
CONTROL
switch
When placed in the up, REVERSE position, the
auger/conveyor systems will operate backward.
In down, NORMAL position, the auger/conveyor
systems will operate normally.
12. TOW POINT MOVEMENT switch
The tow point is used to alter the angle of attack
of the screed causing the screed to ride higher
or lower on the mat, which changes the mat
thickness. In the up, RAISE position, the screed
angle of attack is increased. This allows more
paving
material
under
the
screed,
which
produces a thicker mat. In the down, LOWER
position, the tow point is lowered,
which
produces a thinner mat.
