PR-1000 PAVEMENT PROFILER Non-operational Travel Caterpillar

Forward and reverse travel of the machine are controlled by the engine B (AVSpare 3208) throttle, the travel control and the overdrive selectors. Travel speeds of up to 176 feet per minute are possible with the overdrive selectors at "On".

Engine A (AVSpare 3412) does not have to be running for machine travel. If the machine is being moved a short distance to begin operation, however, it may be desirable to have engine A running so that it will be warmed up when the operation starting point is reached.
