Procedure illustrates blade on right side. On dual side
machines, procedure is the same for left side blade.
^ WARNING
1. On engine, turn ignition key clockwise to “On”
position.
2. Check the operator console panel and make sure
the conveyor switch (A) is in the “Off” position and
the conveyor speed (B) is turned down to slow.
3. Check to make sure that the parking brake (E-stop)
button (C) is fully down and parking light (D) is “on”.
The brakes are automatically applied when the
engine is turned off.
4. Set the drive control stick (E) and gear shift lever
in neutral (center). Check if engine kill switch (F) is
reset.
5. For safe operation, engine will not start if the drive
control stick (E) is not in neutral, engine kill switch
(F) is not reset, or if the conveyor switch (A) is in
the “On” position.
6. Start engine and toggle throttle switch (G) to run at
a high idle or 1100 rpm for approximately 5 minutes
to warm up. Longer warm up may be needed in
colder temperatures.
Prevent serious injury or death.
Before performing inspections, service or
maintenance:
• Park machine on rm, level surface and
engage parking brake.
• Switch engine off.
• Close and lock control panel cover.
• Chock tires.

Push roller assembly may fall out of tubes
and cause serious injury.
^ WARNING
Prevent serious injury or death.
Use caution while taking pivot pin out of
the push roller mount.
Push roller beam may fall out of push roller
mount and cause serious injury.
5.4.1 pIvot pIn loCAtIon
Pivot pin position for the push roller must be such that
push roller beam is symmetrically in middle between
end gates.
10. Reinstall blade push tube anchor (G) at
approximately ½ to ⅔ of blade length. Reinstall
blade slope mount (F) at approximately ⅔ of blade
length. Use suitable hardware.
11. Reinstall slope tubes, push tubes and set up paving
and slope angles as in section 5.3.1.
12. Start engine, check operation and check for leaks.
Paving width can also be varied by adjusting the push
tubes and changing the blade paving angle. While
changing the blade paving angle material ow must be
taken into consideration. Depending on material ow, a
greater blade angle may be needed to ll entire spread
width. Narrow spread widths do not require as much
blade angle.
1. On a single sided machine, for right side paving,
location of left (A) and right (B) end gates are as
shown.
2. For this conguration, slide push roller beam (C)
towards left so pivot hole on push roller beam (C) is
