NOTE
Throughout auger/conveyor system troubleshooting (Table 2-7), reference is made to
right and left auxiliary hydraulic pumps, manual auger/conveyor speed control valves,
etc. These references do not represent the physical location of individual components.
They refer to the physical locations of systems. For example, the left auxiliary
hydraulic pump refers to the auxiliary hydraulic pump that drives the left hand auger
and conveyor.

With paving machine turned off, turn auger by hand.
If auger turns easily, replace auger/conveyor hydraulic motor key, auger shaft key, conveyor
shaft key, or drive chain, as necessary. Refer to paragraphs 2.63, 2.64, 2.68, and 2.69.
