2.6 O peration of the screed

2.6.2 Screed lock

The screed is locked to prevent a spontaneous fall of the screed due to possible leaks in the hydraulic system.

Lock the screed with the machine parked and started, the travel controller (8) must be set in the neutral position (N).

If the screed of the machine is not in use, when driving the machine or transporting it by a crane, the screed tow arms must always be locked using lock pins.

If the machine is transported on a vehicle, the screed must be lowered.

Procedure for locking the screed:

• Set the travel controller (8) to the neutral position (N).

• Check that both screed lock pins (2) are inserted.

• Set the engine speed adjusting controller (10) to the maximum speed.

• Switch over the transport/operating mode switch (15) to the upper position.

• Press the foot switch (48).

• To lift the screed, switch over the switch lift/lower switch (7) up, and after reaching the maximum screed position release the switch.

• Release the foot switch (48).

• Extend both the screed lock pins (2).

• Press the foot switch (48).

• Lower the screed until the screed tow arms (3) lie on the lock pins (2).

• After the contact of the screed tow arms (3) with the lock pins (2), switch over the screed lift/lower switch (7) to the central position.

Procedure for unlocking the screed:

• Set the travel controller (8) to the neutral position (N).

• Set the engine speed adjusting controller (10) to the maximum speed.

• Switch over the transport/operating mode switch (15) to the upper position.

• Press the foot switch (48).

• To lift the screed, switch over the switch lift/lower switch (7) up, and after reaching the maximum screed position release the switch.

• Release the foot switch (48).

• Retract both the screed lock pins (2).

• Set the screed to the required position.

Due to leaks in the hydraulic system, the screed may gradually lower if the screed tow arms are not locked. In case of failure of the hydraulic system, the screed may fall spontaneously if the screed tow arms are not locked. In the event of failure of the hydraulic system, there is a risk of injury from the falling screed.

If the screed of the machine is not in use, when driving the machine or transporting it by a crane, the screed tow arms must always be locked using lock pins. If the machine is transported on a vehicle, the screed must be lowered.
