------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine movement.

Sudden movement of the machine can cause injury to persons on or near the machine.

To prevent injury or death, make sure that the area around the machine is clear of personnel and obstructions before operating the machine.


------ WARNING! ------

Injury to personnel can result if they are not in the operator's view. Allow only essential personnel near the machine, and make sure the personnel are in the operator's view when testing, to prevent injury. Make sure checks are done in an open area.


------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury can result from rotating and moving parts.

Moving fan blades and moving parts will throw or cut any object or tool that falls or is pushed into them.

Make sure no one is working on, underneath or close to an engine that is running. Make sure the area is free of personnel.



NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "AVSpare Tools and Shop Products Guide", for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids in AVSpare machines.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

  22. Remove the cap from charge pressure tap (18) on the left material feed pump. Connect Tool (G) to the charge pressure tap.

    Note: The switch for the screed lift must be reset to the HOLD position before the machine will start.

  23. Move engine start switch (8) to the START position. Release the engine start switch when the engine starts.

  24. Operate the engine at low idle for a few minutes.

  25. Move throttle control switch (7) to the HIGH IDLE position. Hold the switch in this position for less than 1 second. The engine speed should increase to 2200 rpm.

  26. Monitor the hydraulic oil temperature on the operator display. Operate the machine until the oil temperature reaches 43 ± 5.6 °C (110 ± 10 °F).

  27. Record pressure at charge pressure tap (18).

    ------ WARNING! ------

    Personal injury or death can result from sudden machine movement.

    Sudden movement of the machine can cause injury to persons on or near the machine.

    To prevent injury or death, make sure that the area around the machine is clear of personnel and obstructions before operating the machine.


    Note: The travel mode switch must be in the TRAVEL position during this test. If the travel mode switch is in the PAVE position, the machine may drive through the parking brake.

  43. Loosen the locknut on forward multifunction valve (19). In order to increase pressure, rotate the adjustment screw of the multifunction valve clockwise. In order to decrease pressure, rotate the adjustment screw counterclockwise.

    Note: One revolution of the adjustment screw changes the pressure by approximately 9300 kPa (1350 psi).

  44. Hold the adjustment screw, and tighten the locknut on forward multifunction valve (19) to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).

  45. If the reverse pressure is outside the specified range, go to Step 46. If the reverse pressure is inside the specified range, go to Step 48.

  46. Loosen the locknut on reverse multifunction valve (20). In order to increase pressure, rotate the adjustment screw of the multifunction valve clockwise. In order to decrease pressure, rotate the adjustment screw counterclockwise.

    Note: One revolution of the adjustment screw changes the pressure by approximately 9300 kPa (1350 psi).

  47. Hold the adjustment screw, and tighten the locknut on reverse multifunction valve (20) to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).

  48. If an adjustment was made, go to Step 23. If no adjustment was made, go to Step 49.

  49. Remove tooling. Close right side cover (15).
