SCREED ANGLE OF ATTACK ADJUSTMENT.
The screed angle of attack is adjusted using either of two
methods, the tow point movement switch or the screed

attack and thereby change mat thickness. Using the
thickness control occurs only in preparation for paving,
paragraph 2.23.1 and when tow point movement switch
fails.
