GRADING WITH THE PAVER BEFORE POURING:
1. Set control switches: Main power off, Auto power on, hydraulic power on, steerĆ
ing auto-manual switch to auto, engine speed to high, transport speed range
in pour, vibrators off, FNR in neutral, height sensor switch to GRADE, travel
speed to 0. Turn Main power on, FNR to forward and adjust travel speed to
approximately 8' to 15' per minute, the Paver should follow the string line. If it
does not, correct grade or readjust machine as required. Note: correct operaĆ
tion of the machine results in many small height and steering corrections as opĆ
posed to a few large corrections. Automatic adjustments will operate smoothly
with concrete in the hopper.
2. Adjust rear of machine to be approx. 1" higher than the front. (The back of the
mold is approx. 1" above the grade)
3. After grading for approx. 10', check the distance between the grade and the
stringline. Make sure you are grading at the proper height.
4. Rerun machine to beginning point of string line and reset as required.
Cutting the grade accurately will ensure a uniform curb.
THIS BLADE WILL KNOCK OFF HIGH AREAS AND IDENTIFY LOW
AREAS, WHICH MAY NEED FILL. THIS BLADE IS NOT DESIGNED TO REĆ
MOVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF HEAVILY COMPACTED SOIL. IF SOIL IS
HEAVILY COMPACTED, GRADE SHOULD BE CUT LOW. IF GRADE IS TO
HIGH, THE MOLD COULD DRAG OR BECOME HUNG UP WHILE POURĆ
ING.
