2.6 O peration of the screed

2.6.6 Setting the end gates

The screed end gates (39) prevent the paving material from getting outside the paving area and creating an edge profile of the paved layer.

The leading angle of the end gate directly affects the shoulder profile.

The screed of the machine is equipped with a left and right screed end gate (39), chains (2) and holders (3) for setting the position of the screed end gates (48) on the left and right side of the screed.

Procedure for setting the end gates:

• Release the chains (2) of holders (3).

• Check that the screed end gates (39) are in contact with the ground.

• Hang the chains (2) on holders (3).

• Check that the screed end gates (39) have a sufficient play to copy the ground profile during pacing of the material.

The end gates must be set before starting paving. Set the end gates before starting the paving on the machine with the engine off.

There is a risk of injury from the movement of the screed.

2.6.7 Screed vibration (optional equipment)

The function of the screed vibration serves for reducing a machine travel resistance during paving and improving the surface of the paved asphalt mixture.

Vibration is only active in the operating mode and machine travel forward.

Turning on:

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

• Turn the vibration unit switch (6) on the main dashboard to the upper position.

• During the machine travel forward, the vibration function is activated and the vibration indicator lamp (30) turns on.

• When the machine stops, the vibration function is deactivated and the vibration indicator lamp (30) turns off.

Turning off:

• To turn off the vibration function, turn the vibration unit switch (6) on the main dashboard to the lower position.

Note Vibration has no effect on compaction.
