A Use for the intended purpose The ”Guide to the intended and proper use of road finishers” is included in the scope of supply of this machine. It is an integral part of these operating instructions and must be observed in any event. National requirements apply without restriction. The road construction machine described in these operating instructions is a road fin- isher that is suitable for laying material, rolled or lean-mixes concrete, track ballast and uncombined mineral compounds for paving surfaces.

Vehicle Design The road finisher has a frame in a steel welded construction on which the individual assemblies are mounted. The track groups (4) level out surface unevenness and ensure high laying accuracy due to the suspension of the screed (12). With the infinitely variable speed hydrostatic drive (10), the speed of the road finisher can be adapted to suit the respective working conditions.
Page 16
Engine: The road finisher is driven by a water-cooled, six-cylinder Deutz diesel en- gine. For further information, refer to the engine manual. Track group: The two track groups are independently driven. They operate directly without drive chains requiring care and maintenance. The tension of the track groups can be adjusted via grease tensioners.
Page 17
Screed lift and enlargement: By means of the spreader lift and enlargement, opti- mal adaptation to diverse laying thicknesses and widths is ensured. During adjustment with ratchets, the height is adjusted with turnbuckle spindles at the guide supports in the back panel. In a further version with hydraulic cylinders (optional), the height can be adjusted from the operation panel.
Safety devices Safe working is only possible with perfectly functioning control and safety devices as well as properly fitted protective devices. The functions of the devices must be tested at regular intervals (see Chapter D, Sec- tion 2.1). Emergency button - on operation panel - on both remotes (optional) 11.eps...

Paving with screed stop and screed charging/relieving General The screed hydraulics can be influenced in two ways to attain optimum paving results: - Screed stop with and without pretensioning with the paver finisher halted, - Screed charging or relieving with the paver finisher driving. Relieving reduces the screed weight and increases the traction force.
Screed stop The „screed stop” function is used to block the screed hydraulics to prevent the screed from lowering when the paver finisher stops during paving. The switches (34) have to be switched off - Automatic screed stop when the drive lever is in the center position - To lift the screed press button (45A) - To lower the screed press 1.5 sec.
Adjusting the pressure ( ) Pressure adjustments can only be made while the diesel engine is running. There- fore: - Start the diesel engine and set the traction controller (10) to zero (precau- tion against inadvertent advancing). - Set switch (33) to the floating position. For screed stop with pretensioning - Set the drive lever (9) to the center po- sition.
Interrupting/terminating operation During breaks - Determine the approximate duration. - When cooling down of the material be- low the minimum paving temperature must be expected, run the paver fin- isher empty and create an edge like the end of a layer. - Set the drive lever (9) to the center po- sition.
When work is finished - Run the paver finisher empty and stop it. - Lift the screed by using button (33). - Retract the screed parts to the basic screed width and lift the auger. Where applicable, completely extend the lev- elling cylinders.
Page 118
- Read and check the operating hour meter to determine whether mainte- nance work must be performed (see chapter F). - Cover and lock the operating panel. qsb_096.bmp - Remove material residues from the screed and the paver finisher and spray all parts with separator fluid. D 78...

2.11 Inspection and lubrication points Pump distributor gear (1.1) The check screw (1) serves for checking the oil level. Once the screw has been unscrewed, a little oil should run out. If this is not the case, top up oil via filler aperture (2). Cleanliness must be observed! Oil change: The oil change should take place at op-...
Lubricating oil - engine (1.2) Oil level check Before starting work, always use dipstick (1) to check oil level in engine. Undertake oil check with paver finisher on level ground! - If necessary, fill up oil via filler aperture (2). Too much oil in engine damages gaskets;...
Engine - oil filter (1.3) The new filter is inserted during an oil change once the used oil has been drained out. - Use a filter belt or wrench on hex to loosen lubricating oil filter cover (1) and unscrew (turn anti-clockwise). - Carefully loosen paper filter cartridge (3) from guide (4) by moving upwards.
Air cleaner (1.4) The level of air cleaner (1) contamina- tion depends on the dust content of the air. Filter maintenance is needed if the red service box (3) can be clearly seen on the maintenance indicator (2) when the engine is at a standstill.
Cooling system engine and hydraulics (1.5) The machine is fitted with water, hydraulic and charged air coolers. Water cooler Always check the coolant (water) level when cold. Ensure there is sufficient an- tifreeze and anti-corrosion agent (- 25°C). The perfect level is 6 cm below the seal- ing face of the seal cover.
Engine - fuel filter (1.6) The fuel filter system consists of two fil- ters: - Upstream filter with water separator (1) on fuel tank - Main filter (2) on engine block Draining upstream filter - water: The upstream filter has a tank (3) in which the water collected is captured.
Main filter - replacing filter cartridge - Use a filter belt or wrench to loosen fuel filter cover (6) on hex and unscrew (anti-clockwise). - Carefully loosen paper filter cartridge (8) from guide (9) by moving upwards - Collect any fuel which escapes. - Change paper filter cartridge (8).
