PROBLEM

Show/hide table

The existing propel lever can fail on certain AP1055F, AP1000F, AP655F, AP600F, AP555F, AP500F, AP355F and AP300F Asphalt Pavers. If the existing propel lever fails it will generate a fault code, and prevent propulsion from that operator station. The pavers with dual operators stations can still be operated from the other station, but the pavers with single operators station will not propel.
