SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING GAS HEATING SYSTEMS This chapter contains important instructions for the gas heating system on the paving screed if your paver is equipped with this option.

!

DANGER

Liquid gas is highly inflammable and burns explosively.Liquid gas is heavier than oxygen, it sinks to the ground and displaces the oxygen. This results in a danger of suffocation. Closely observe the following safety instructions to avoid serious injury and damage to property. •

The gas heating system may only be operated and serviced by qualified and authorised personnel who have been specially trained in the operation and maintenance of such systems.

•

Ensure the complete gas heating system is checked by a fully qualified and authorized person as follows: — Before using the gas heating system for the first time, ensure that it is correctly installed and has no gas leaks. — Check the working safety of the system on completion of all maintenance and repair work. — Check the working condition, function, installation and gas leaks in the system if it has been out of operation for more than one year.

1-10

•

Your locally prevailing regulations for checking gas bottles still apply and are not effected by this chapter.

•

All gas connections must be checked for leakage and damage.Only use gas detectors approved for gas systems.Searching for gas leaks with a naked flame is a deadly peril and listening for escaping gas is not a safe method either. Do not use the gas heating system if the hoses or connections are porous or damaged.

•

Only operate the gas heating system in open and well ventilated areas.

•

Protect the gas heating system from direct sun rays and other sources of heat (max. 50 °C). Cover the gas bottles with the canopies supplied with the paver.

•

Close the valves on the gas bottles by turning them clockwise when the gas heating system is not in use, e.g. during breaks in paving and when working on the system. Disconnect, remove and properly store the gas bottles during longer standstill times.

•

The gas heating system must be switched off during cleaning work.

Track Paver Titan 225/325

SAFETY

Chapter 1 •

When performing any work on the gas heating system, ensure there are no sources of ignition within a radius of 10 metres.Do not smoke, do not ignite any naked flames and do not switch on any electrical appliances within this safety radius (danger of flashover).

•

Safely mount the gas bottles on the paver using the supports and brackets provided and ensure they are secured against rotating or falling over. Only withdraw gas from the bottles when they are in an upright position.

•

During operation, the gas bottles should not be allowed to become under-cooled as this may cause an interruption in the flow of gas. Icing on the bottles caused by an exceptionally high withdrawal of gas must be allowed to thaw off using warm air or warm water with a temperature not exceeding 50°[C]. Never use a naked flame, red hot objects or convector heaters to thaw off the gas bottles. Icing must not be hammered off the gas bottles or removed mechanically in a similar manner.

•

When replacing hoses, ensure the new hoses and connections are suitable for gas heating systems and are routed in such a way to protect them from chemical, thermal and mechanical damage.

•

The gas heating system may only be operated using a pressure control valve with integrated leak tester and hose rupture safety control.

•

Leaky gas bottles must be immediately removed from the danger zone, if this is possible without submitting yourself to danger and be appropriately marked.

•

Never operate the gas heating without the ventilation system correctly installed and keep the ventilation intake and outlet apertures free from blockages to ensure an adequate natural ventilation.

•

Fire and explosion precautions must be taken if the heating system is operated in buildings or areas where explosive gases can be reckoned with. Keep all combustible objects and cleaning cloths which may ignite away from hot parts on the heating system.

•

Parts in the heating system which are subject to wear and deterioration must be renewed after 8 years at the latest. An exception to this rule is when a specialist confirms their perfect working condition.

•

In case of fire, remove the gas bottles to a safe area and keep them cool but do not subject yourself to danger.

•

Store the gas bottles correctly: — Fit the cap nut and protective cap to the gas bottle valve. — Never store the gas bottles below ground level (burrows and basements), in living accommodation and restrooms or in their vicinity and in thoroughfares. — Always store gas bottles in an upright position - even empty bottles.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN GAS ESCAPES

!

DANGER

Proceed as follows if you notice gas is escaping: •

Warn other people in the vicinity and instruct them to leave the danger zone.

•

Immediately close the valves on the gas bottles. NOTE: To close the bottle, turn the screw on the valve clockwise.

•

Ensure there is ample ventilation.

•

Extinguish all naked flames, cigarettes and other sources of ignition in the vicinity.

•

Do not switch on any electrical appliances because a flashover to the switching contact may occur and ignite the gas mixture.

•

If there is a danger that escaping gas cannot be brought under control or there is a danger of fire in the area of the heating system, immediately alarm the fire brigade and try to extinguish the fire yourself but do not subject yourself to danger. Immediately clear the danger zone of all persons.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

SCREED HEATING SYSTEM (OPTION) Paving screeds can be heated by propane gas or Diesel fuel (only for Variomatic screeds) heating systems. The operating instructions for the propane gas or Diesel heating system installed on your particular screed are included in the screed's operating manual. There is a separate operating manual for the temperature controlled gas blower heating system (Thermo-Control). Strictly observe all locally prevailing directives and laws for operating the heating system on your paving screed. Secure the propane gas bottles against toppling over on the paver. Operating instructions for the propane gas or Diesel fuel heating system can be taken from the operating manual for your particular paving screed. The heating gas used should, if possible, be pure propane gas and at ambient temperatures above 10° C should have a maximum butane content of approx. 50%. Heating gases with a higher butane content should not be used because they do not develop sufficient vaporising pressure for the gas burners to operate in a stable manner. At ambient temperatures below + 10° C, the butane content may only amount to max. 30%. Some of the connections on the propane gas heating system have left-handed threads.These can be recognised by a groove in all six surfaces on the union nuts. The paver's scope of supply includes two canvas canopies for the gas bottles. Cover the gas bottles with the canopies as follows: 1. During all paver shut-downs when the ambient temperature is above 10° C. 2. When withdrawing gas for continuous paving work at ambient temperatures above 20° C and the gas bottles are exposed to sun rays. Using the canopies will avoid the gas bottles unduly warming up when exposed to sun rays leading to a high gas pressure in the bottles.

!

DANGER

At the end of paving work, close the valves on the gas bottles, the distributor and on the gas burners. Before transporting the paver, close the valves on the gas bottles, remove the gas hose with pressure reducer and fit the protective caps on the gas bottles.

WARNING

The LH and RH screed towing arms must have almost the same setting. The difference in the mat thickness must not exceed 10 cm. Otherwise the screed will be distorted and damaged. Illustration 35

When paving, the tow points must not ride against the upper or lower limit stops. Otherwise, the hydraulic circuits for hopper open/close and screed raise/lower would no longer function. If the tow points ride against the limit stops during paving work, the position of the screed towing arms must be altered relative to the paving screed so that the tow points have adequate space to move between the limit stops. Further information is contained in the operating manual for the screed. 1. Ensure the toggle switch for the "levelling system" (A35) is not switched to position „1“; i.e. position „MAN“ or position „AUTO“. 2. The tow points on both towing arms are adjusted using the toggle switch (A16) "RH tow point" and (A37) "LH tow point". •

Increasing the mat thickness: Move the toggle switches (A16 and A37) for the RH and LH tow points upwards in the direction of the arrow until the required mat thickness is reached.

DANGER

There is a danger of explosions caused by escaping gas. Keep all sparks and naked flames far away from the gas heating components. Ensure there is adequate ventilation. If a gas leakage occurs, immediately close the valves on the gas bottles (turn the valve clockwise because it has a left-hand thread). The gas bottles for the screed heating must be safely secured against falling over and be protected from the sun at ambient temperatures above 20° C (fit the gas bottle canopies). Paving screeds can be heated by propane gas or Diesel fuel (only for Variomatic screeds) heating systems. Operating instructions for the propane gas or Diesel fuel heating system can be taken from the operating manual for your particular paving screed. There is a separate operating manual for the temperature controlled gas blower heating system (Thermo-Control). Strictly observe all locally prevailing directives and laws for operating the heating system on your paving screed. Some of the connections on the propane gas heating system have lefthanded threads. These can be recognised by a groove in all six surfaces on the union nuts. At the end of paving work, close the valves on the gas bottles, the distributor and on the gas burners. Before transporting the paver, close the valves on the gas bottles, remove the gas hose with pressure reducer and fit the protective caps on the gas bottles.

PAVING MATERIAL PRONE TO SEGREGATION Experience has shown that material in the area of the hopper wings has a significantly higher portion of coarse grains. This segregated material should not be paved on its own because areas of coarse grains would occur in the mat. Close the hopper wings and allow the segregated material to flow onto the conveyors just before a new truck load of paving material is dumped in the hopper. When doing this, the conveyors remain switched off until the hopper has been filled with fresh paving material. The fresh paving material together with the segregated material can now be conveyed to the augers. In this way, a mix segregation can be avoided. The conveyors should not run empty when changing dump trucks; forin fact, a layer of material should remain in the hopper. If possible, the head of material in the auger channel should have a uniform height across the entire width of the screed. Depending on the thickness to be paved, this is achieved by lowering the augers and removing an auger flight from those areas where there is not enough material. Under certain conditions and especially at the outer screed areas, every second flight must be removed. In this case we recommend that every second remaining flight should be mounted offset by 180° on the auger shaft; this will give a uniform load on the auger shaft. The conveyor and augers must be operated in the automatic mode. The sensors and control switches must be so adjusted to reach a uniform head of material and the augers are only subject to minor speed alterations. Run the tampers and vibrators at maximum speed when paving base courses. When paving wearing courses, slightly reduce the tamper speed to prevent the screed loosing its floating behaviour on account of a too high compaction. If the previously mentioned measures do not prevent a concentration of coarse grain in front of the augers and which reaches to the top of the mat being paved, the rear wall of the basic machine in the area of the auger outer bearings must be extended downwards by fitting steel plates or hard rubber sheeting to avoid the coarse grains rolling to the front. If necessary, these steel plates or hard rubber sheeting must be fitted across the entire width of the screed (these parts do not belong to the paver's standard range of supply). Even at higher ambient temperatures, the screed must be permanently heated if material with a temperature of 150° C and less is being paved. However, try to have the paving material delivered with a mix temperature of 160 - 170° C. If mix segregation occurs as an open surface structure in the middle area of the screed when paving thicker mats, replace the first auger helical on one side with a helical with an opposite pitch. This will force more paving material underneath the auger drive case and rectify the mix segregation.

MAT THICKNESS IS NOT CORRECT The screed's angle of attack must be altered by turning the rear turnbuckles if a significant dif-

OPERATION

Chapter 3

ference occurs between the mat thickness set on the paver (value on the tow point mat thickness scales) and the actual thickness of the mat being paved. The turnbuckles are set to a value of "0" in the factory and increasing this value will achieve a thicker mat. We recommend that the rear turnbuckles are not adjusted for paving mat thicknesses up to approx. 10 cm. This means, that the screed's angle of attack will be adjusted by the tow points to the mat thickness. Rule of thumb: Value on the tow point thickness scales = 1.5 x the mat thickness. Further instructions for adjusting the screed are contained in the screed's operating manual.

TOW POINT SINKS DOWN DURING PAVING WORK Ball cocks are installed on the hose connections on the piston rod side of the levelling cylinders and with these ball cocks, the cylinders can be blocked against sinking downwards. The ball cock must be closed if the automatically operated double check valve leaks and allows the screed to sink downwards at the tow points when paving. The ball cocks must remain open when paving with an automatic levelling system to control the mat thickness.

CONVEYING THE PAVING MIX TO ONE SIDE This section describes how to convey a uniform head of material to both sides of the screed just before finishing paving work even though the hopper only has material on one side. Likewise, additional material requirements on one side caused by changes in the cross section profile can be compensated by reversing one of the augers. 1. Conveying the paving material with both augers: •

to the LH screed side: Move the toggle switch A21 "auger reverse rotation" to the left (27Page).

•

to the RH screed side: Move the toggle switch A21 "auger reverse rotation" to the right (27Page).

•

to switch off: Move the toggle switch A21 "auger reverse rotation" to the centre position (27Page).

OPERATION

PAVING MATERIAL NOT CONVEYED FAST ENOUGH The auger can be overmodulated if not enough paving material is being conveyed. The auger will then rotate at maximum speed. For this function, the button B7 for "STOP material flow" must be pulled upwards (27Page). 1. Rotating the auger at maximum speed: •

LH Auger: Keep the button switch B3 pressed on the LH external control panel to overmodulate the auger (27Page).

•

RH Auger: Keep the button switch B3 pressed on the RH external control panel to overmodulate the auger (27Page).

SETTING THE PRESSURE ON THE SCREED ASSIST If required, a variable pressure between 10 and 50 bar can be applied to the screed transport cylinders. This pressure counteracts the weight of the screed and prevents it sinking into paving material with a low bearing capacity. This option does not effect the screed's floating behaviour; the screed will bear down on the material with a reduced load. Illustration 38

The control valve is located inside the LH side door on the paver's rear wall. The pressure is adjusted as follows (Pos. 1 refers): •

Loosen the lock nut, 24 across flats

•

Turn the Allen screw: Clockwise to increase the pressure Anti-clockwise to reduce the pressure

•

Thereafter, tighten the lock nut.

Check the pressure on the test connection (2).

HYDROSTATIC SYSTEM Extreme cleanliness is a basic requirement for all maintenance and repair work on hydraulic systems. Used oil, sand, dirt and metal chippings in hydraulic systems not only impair the function and service life of the components, they also cause damage and eventually a complete breakdown of the system. Regularly check the hydraulic system for leakage and tight fitting of all threaded connections.

!

CAUTION

All work on the hydraulic system such as tightening threaded connections, exchanging filters, oil changes and renewing components etc. (with the exception of checking the valve settings) may only be carried out with the system completely depressurised, i.e. with the engine switched off. Use clean plastic plugs to close the ends of any hydraulic hoses or tubing which must be disconnected. Do not use cleaning cloths or cotton waste to close hoses and tubes. Illustration 9

When replacing hydraulic pumps and motors, the oil drain case must be filled with clean hydraulic oil before putting them back into operation. Add oil through the drain case oil connection (1). Before putting the system back into operation, we recommend to flush the hydraulic lines; if necessary, they must be dismantled . A second possibility is to fit a high pressure filter with a filter mesh of 0.01 mm (10 um) into the appropriate circuit instead of the hydro motor and filter the circuit for approx. 5 to 10 minutes (check the filter's direction of flow).

Feed Pressure Filter for the Travel Drive and Tamper Drive (only for VDT and VDT-V Screeds)

Illustration 11

The hydraulic oil is filtered by the feed pressure filters (3) installed on the pressure side of the feed pumps. The feed pressure filters do not have a bypass which means that if the filter is blocked, no unfiltered oil enters the closed circuit. Instead of a bypass, the filters have integrated over pressure valves which open and allow the hydraulic oil to flow back to the tank if the difference in pressure between filter inlet and filter outlet is more than 5 bar. With an increasing amount of dirt in the filter or with a too high oil viscosity at low temperatures, the displacement of the variable pump in the main circuit will be delayed or there will be no displacement at all. As a consequence: the paver's travel drive will lag or the paver will not travel at all. If this is due to cold oil, let the hydraulics run warm to reach normal operating temperature. If this is due to a dirty filter, immediately change the filter cartridge. Change the filter cartridge for the first time at 125 operating hours and thereafter every 1000 operating hours or at least once a year.

!

CAUTION

After every filter change, run the Diesel engine for approx. 5 minutes at idling speed, i.e. max. 800 1/min to build up the feeding pressure.

To ensure an adequate cooling, the hydraulic oil cooler and engine radiator (2) must be cleaned every 250 operating hours. To do this, soak them with a cold cleaning solvent and spray them with a strong jet of water; better still, use a steam pressure cleaner. Access to the radiator is gained through the duct at the rear of the hopper (1). Carry out the cleaning work as described in the engine manufacturer's handbook.

LUBRICATION PLAN All lubrication instructions contained in this lubrication plan only refer to the basic paver. Lubricating instructions for the paving screed are contained in the operating manual for the screed. Park the paver on level ground before checking the oil levels and changing the oil. Always drain off the oil at operating temperature and catch it in a suitable container. Observe meticulous cleanliness when greasing the machine. Thoroughly clean the grease nipple before applying the grease gun. Slip guides and spindles must be greased or oiled as required especially after cleaning the paver with grease and bitumen dissolving agents. Use a commercially available multi-purpose quality grease. The paver's chain drives must be lubricated once a week. Lubricating work can be done with an oil can or aerosol can. Apply the lubricant between the link plates of the inner and outer links. For normal operating conditions, use a quality brand of oil with a viscosity of SAE oils. Choose an oil to suit your average ambient temperature: Table 21:

Once a month clean the chain drives with an oil and grease removing solvent; thereafter oil the chains. At the end of the paving season, thoroughly clean all chains and sprockets and preserve them with a special chain grease. Remarks: After lubricating, remove the grease gun nozzle from the grease nipple by turning the gun clockwise at an angle of approx. 30°. This will make it easier to remove the grease gun without braking off the ball head on the grease nipple. Use extreme CAUTION when working in the vicinity of moving parts. When paving bituminous materials, the conveyor and auger bearings must be immediately lubricated at the end of paving work. To do this, run the conveyors and augers and apply grease until it emerges from the cavities. Any paving material which may have penetrated the seals will be forced out by the lubricant. Grease points with daily intervals must be lubricated before washing the machine so that the gaps in the bearings are closed with grease. Grease points with daily intervals must be lubricated before washing the machine. Do not direct the jet of water onto the bearings.

Offset Adjustment: With the offset adjustment, the starting values are calibrated for the hydraulic pumps on the travel drive system. If a faulty function occurs (e.g. sensor error), the paver will start moving slowly. In this case, the offset adjustment procedure can be immediately stopped by moving the drive lever or pressing the emergency STOP button. For this reason, it is absolutely essential that the operator remains on the operator's platform during the offset procedure (approx. 2 to 3 minutes for each side). Change the electronics to the programming mode (Move the plug-in bridge from X1/115-X1/ 116 to X1/116-X1/117). Start the offset adjustment on the LH side by moving the drive lever forwards. During the calibration, the LH sensor will flash and will permanently illuminate when the calibration is finished. Start the offset adjustment on the RH side by moving the drive lever backwards. During the calibration, the RH sensor will flash and will permanently illuminate when the calibration is finished. Finalise the offset adjustment procedure by moving the plug-in bridge from X1/116-X1/117 back to X1/115-X1/116. Now start the machine moving in the paving speed stage. Repeat the offset adjustment if the machine starts with irregular movements.

CONSUMABLES

Consumables Lubrication is a major element of preventive maintenance and has a significant effect on the working life of the paver. Regularly lubricating moving parts will reduce the possibility of a breakdown cause by a failure of mechanical components. We recommend the use of genuine lubricants to achieve an optimum working life and performance of the paver. Different lubricants are required to lubricate the paver and its integrated assemblies. This chapter includes a table of assemblies to be lubricated and the lubricant required. If not otherwise specified, the oil levels must be checked as follows: Park the machine on level ground and check the level when the oil is cold. The oil must reach the lower edge of the filling hole on oil check points with a threaded oil level plug. If not otherwise specified, the grease nipples are designed according to SAE-STANDARDS. Lubricate open grease nipples until grease emerges out of the nipple. Applying excessive lubricant to the grease nipple will not damage the grease nipple or its assembly. Insufficient lubricant will, however, shorten the component's working life. If not otherwise specified, lubricate all components without grease nipples (rods, bolts and levers etc.) once a week with oil. A thin film of engine oil will achieve the required lubrication and avoid rust. An anti-seizing solvent can be used if rust or corrosion has formed. Otherwise the component must be cleaned before lubricating. Worn or damaged grease nipples must be replaced if the grease gun cannot be connected or the ball in the nipple has jammed. In addition to the regular lubricating intervals, carry out other inspection and maintenance work at the same time. This will avoid more serious damage occurring on the assemblies. 1. Before starting maintenance work, clean all threaded connections, caps and plugs etc with a non-flammable and non-toxic cleaning solvent so that dirt cannot penetrate the system during work. 2. Drain off all oils at operating temperature. 3. When carrying out lubricating work at the prescribed intervals, check and ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are correctly tightened. 4. Make a random inspection of threaded connections and nuts and check whether they are tightened to the correct torque. If any loose connections are found, then check and tighten all threaded connections, nuts and bolts. 5. If damage is found during maintenance work, then the machine must be shut down until the faults are rectified. Notify your local distributor if necessary.
