A correctly set up operator's platform which provides the operator with an optimum view of the working area is a significant step towards avoiding accidents and damage to property.
CAUTION
!
Only start the paver after the operator's platform has been set up to ensure an optimum view of the working area and all platform components have been safely secured.
During operation, all loose items must be removed from the paver as they can cause serious accidents.
Raising and Lowering the Sun Roof
The height of the paver can be reduced for transport on a vehicle by lowering the sun roof.
CAUTION
!
The sun roof must be raised and safely secured against lowering with the bolts/nuts (2 and 3) for paving work. Otherwise it is not permitted to operate the paver on account of the restricted headroom.
Before lowering the roof, the windscreen (if fitted) must be raised (refer to Chapter 3 “Windscreen (Option), Raising and Lowering”, Page 3-13).
After the roof has been lowered, it must be secured against raising with the bolts/nuts 3.
Illustration 5
Raising the Sun Roof:
1. Remove both safety bolts (2) from the lower hinge joints on both front roof struts; these bolts have been placed there for safe keeping.
2. Remove the safety bolt (3) from the lower hinge joint on one of the rear roof struts (section A, position 4). Loosen the nut on the bolt 3 on the other rear roof strut.
3. Now stand on the steps to the operator's platform, pull the roof slightly downwards with one hand and use the other hand to remove the remaining bolt 3. Push the roof upwards until it is fully raised.
4. Fit the safety bolts 3 into the lower hinge joints on the rear roof struts.
5. Fit the lower safety bolts 2 to the lower hinge joints on both front roof struts.
6. Lower the front windscreen if installed on your on the paver (refer to Chapter 3
“Windscreen (Option), Raising and Lowering”, Page 3-13).
Lowering the Sun Roof:
1. Move the control column to the centre of the platform and lock it in this position (refer to the safety decal).
2. Raise the front windscreen if installed on your on the paver (refer to Chapter 3
“Windscreen (Option), Raising and Lowering”, Page 3-13).
3. Remove the safety bolts 2 from the lower hinge joints on both front roof struts.
4. Remove the safety bolts 3 from the lower hinge joints on the rear roof struts.
5. Now stand on the steps to the operator's platform, grip the handrail with one hand to steady yourself and carefully pull the roof to the rear with the other hand. Caution! Danger of Injuries: A certain amount of force will be required to start the roof lowering; thereafter, the roof will lower easily, cushioned by the hydraulic springs. Take care not to bump your head when lowering the roof.
6. Secure the roof against raising by fitting the bolts 3 in the holes 4 and fastening the nuts (section A, position 4).
7. Replace the safety bolts with nuts 2 into both front roof struts for safe keeping.
Exhaust Pipe, Fitting and Removing
The height of the paver must be reduced for transport on a vehicle. For this reason, remove the exhaust pipe.
CAUTION
!
Do not start the paver without the exhaust pipe, otherwise poisonous emission will be a health hazard to personnel in the vicinity.
Illustration 6
1. Insert or remove the exhaust pipe from the pipe connection 1.
Fitting the Side Curtains
The side curtains (1) protect the operator from rain and wind. Roll the side curtains up during good weather to obtain a better all round view.
Illustration 7
Fitting the Side Curtains (1): Fit the side curtains (1) to the sun roof (2) and the roof struts (3) as illustrated.
Removing the Side Curtains (1): Loosen and remove the side curtains (1) from the sun roof (2) and roof struts (3) as illustrated.
Windscreen (Option), Raising and Lowering
The windscreen is raised to the rear and underneath the roof for transport.The windscreen is divided in the middle so that first one half and then the other half is raised.
Raising the Windscreen:
1. Loosen the centre bolt connection.
2. Loosen the outer bolt connection on the outer edge of one half windscreen.
3. Raise the windscreen half up and underneath the roof and secure the outer bolt in the hole provided in the retainer plate.
4. Repeat step 3 with the other half of the windscreen.
5. Connect both raised halves of the windscreen in the middle with the connecting bolt.
6. Ensure both windscreen halves are safely secured in the raised position.
CAUTION
!
It is absolutely essential that the circlip is moved to the front as long as one or both windscreen halves are raised underneath the roof.
Lowering the Windscreen:
1. Loosen the centre bolt connection.
2. Loosen the outer bolt connection on the outer edge of one half windscreen.
3. Lower one half of the windscreen downwards and secure the outer bolt in the hole provided in the retainer plate.
4. Repeat step 3 with the other half of the windscreen.
5. Connect both raised halves of the windscreen in the middle with the connecting bolt.
6. Ensure both windscreen halves are safely secured in the lowered position.
Operator's Platform, Extending and Retracting
The operator's platform can be extended on both sides to improve the vision into the working area. The platform must be retracted for transport on a vehicle to minimize the paver's width.
Illustration 8
Extending the Platform:
1. To extend the platform, release the locking devices (2) on the side of the paver required and lower the side plate (1).
2. To extend the roof, loosen the wing nut at Pos. 3 and unscrew the threaded bolt by a few turns. Remove any existing transport safety measures (e.g. cable straps).
3. Extend the roof outwards by max. 50 cm.
4. Tighten up the threaded bolt at Pos. 3 and secure with the wing nut.
Retracting the Platform:
1. To retract the roof, loosen the wing nut at Pos. 3 and unscrew the threaded bolt by a few turns.
2. Retract the roof as far as it will go.
3. Tighten up the threaded bolt at Pos. 3 and secure with the wing nut.
4. To retract the platform, hinge the side plate 1 upwards and secure it with both locking devices 2.
Seat Console, Extending and Retracting
After extending or retracting the platform, you can extend or retract the seat console.
Illustration 9
1. Pull the lever 2 upwards until it is free of the hole 3.
2. Extend or retract the seat console 1 until it locks into the required position.
3. Ensure the lever bolt 2 has securely locked into the hole 3.
Control Column, Cross Sliding
Position the control column according to the required sitting position. The control column may only be positioned in the locking holes provided on the platform's floor plate (LH or RH side on the extended or retracted platform). All other positions between these locking holes are not permitted.
Illustration 10
1. Slightly tilt the control column to the rear (raise slightly) and cross slide it to the required position on the guide rail depending on which side you have the best view of the working area.
2. Lower the control column so that it locks into the hole 4 on the platform floor plate. Ensure the control column has safely locked into position.
3. Open the cover 1 on the control panel (if necessary, remove the padlock 2).
Operator's Seat, Adjusting (Standard Seat)
