Operation and Settings
Receiving-Transportation-Storage
1. Receiving
The HEM will arrive fully assembled, and set for the width of the
first paving project, according to customer specifications. The
pans were set flat at the factory, however, some change in
alignment is likely to occur during transport and the operator must
check them prior to paving.
Warning: When using ramps to unload the Slip

Form Paver, make sure they are stable and sturdy enough
to handle the weight of the machine
Warning: Do not allow anyone on, under, or near

the machine in such a position that a mechanical, electrical
or hydraulic failure of any machine part could cause bodily
harm.
Warning: Before unloading, check the Walking
Valve to see that it is open, to prevent damage to the frame
when driving off the trailer. The Walking Valve is a ball
valve on top of the right rear tower and is used to equalize
the hydraulic pressure between the lift towers when
crawling over uneven terrain. This valve should be opened
whenever the paver will be loaded, unloaded or moved over
uneven terrain. This valve must be closed when paving.
Warning: Before unloading check that no one is in

line with the machine where a mechanical failure or
operator error could cause bodily injury.
2. Transportation
a. The paver can be transported on several types of trailers. A

double drop or low-boy semi-trailer works very well. In
general, the bottom deck of the trailer must be 4’ longer than
the set paving width of the machine (to allow 2’ for the transport
width of each track)
b. Use a set of ramps, heavy wood blocking or a mound of dirt to

drive the paver up on to the trailer.
c. When the paver s loaded, do not lower it all the way to the
deck of the trailer. The pans should not come in contact with
the deck of the trailer.
d. Use the “D” rings on the outside surface of the tracks to chain
the paver to the trailer.
e. Pin the rain cap in closed position so that air cannot down draft
into the turbo charger.
f. Do not chain the machine for transport by putting chains or

straps over the main frame or frame extension.
g. When transporting this machine, follow all DOT, and OSHA

guidelines that apply.
3. Storage
a. When storing the machine for long periods of time, or over

winter, the tracks should be driven onto wood blocks to prevent
the track pads from freezing to the ground. The track links and
pins should also be oiled to reduce the chance of the track pins
rusting.
b. Drain the water from the tanks, supply lines and power
washer. It is best to remove the power washer and store in a
warm environment during freezing conditions.
c. Grease all points as described in the maintenance section of this
manual. Coat the inner tower tubes with grease.
d. Spray all areas of the machine with form oil that typically
comes in contact with concrete to prevent rusting (augers,
vibrator rack and vibrators, paver front, pan bottoms).
e. Fill the fuel tank to prevent condensation.
Paver Adjustments, Operation and

Optional Attachments
1. General
a. At the time of set-up and instruction, an HEM Paver Team
representative will give you specific instruction in changing
widths on your machine. The following “Adjustments” pages
are to give you additional information to make the width
change and adjustment processes go easier. The paving width
of the HEM can be changed to any 6” increment between the
minimum and maximum widths of your individual machine.
This section will tell you what frame sections, pans, tamper bars
and shafts, augers, and spreader box configuration to use for
the desired width.
b. When changing width, move the HEM to a level, obstruction-free

terrain. During the width change process, the paver will be
resting on the paving pan. If any rocks or obstructions are under
the pan, it is possible for the paving pan to get bent.
c. When a minor width change (+/- 6” to 3’ or 4’) is being

performed, it is not absolutely necessary to put one half the
width change on each side. The paver does not have to be
constructed symmetrically, unless a crown is going to be set in
the pans, and then the machine must be built with the same
number of inches of extension on each side of the machine.
d. When the end frames are unbolted from the main frame, be
certain that the end frame is secured to eliminate the chance
of it tipping over.
2. Width Change – General Order of Disassembly and Assembly
a. Remove Spreader Box by removing bolts at Paver End

Frame.
b. Place Blocks between Pan and bottom of Main Frame. (This

provides for the transfer of weight from the Main Frame
through the Pan and on to the ground) This process supports
the Paver while the Tracks and End Frames are removed.
c. Loosen Pan hangers at outer ends of Paving Pans.
d. Remove the End Frames (secure the End Frame when it is

unattached from the Main Frame to keep it from tipping over).
Work on only one side of the machine at a time, to keep as
much stability in the paver as possible.
e. Install or remove Frame Extension.
f. Install or remove Pan sections.
g. Remount End Frames.
h. Install Pan hangers.
i. Reassemble Augers, Strike-Off Plates and Spreader Box

according to schematic layout section of this manual.
j. Remount fully assembled Spreader Box to Paver.
3.
Auger Sections
a. When installing additional auger sections, remember the auger

sections come with either right or left handed flighting. Be
certain that right-handed sections are bolted onto right-handed
sections and left-handed sections are bolted onto left handed
sections.
b. When changing auger sections, do not drop auger out of

alignment with the outer auger drive section since damage to
the auger drive may result.
c. The Auger drive units (enclosed in the Spreader Box Ends) are
mounted on a rubber pad. This pad is designed to give the auger
drive some flex when unusual horizontal loads are placed on
the auger (i.e. large amounts of concrete or other heavy
obstructions). When changing the auger drive units, take care
not to tighten the mounting bolts so tight that all the flex is
taken out of the rubber pad.
d. This same rubber pad allows for a certain amount of

crowning in the auger, which may be desirable if a high crown
is needed in a given pour.
e. In general, the bottom of the auger should be about 2” above

the bottom of the pan (top of finished slab).
4. Strike off and Spreader Box Unit
a. Before extending or shortening the Main Spreader Beam, be

certain to loosen the locking bolts on the back and underside of
the Beam at the outer ends.
b. Liberally apply grease to the spreader beams to reduce rust and

concrete build up on the inner tube ends. It is best to seal the
gap between the inner and outer tubes of the spreader beams
with an extra amount of grease, to keep any grout from
entering this gap.
c. When bolting the Strike-Off plate back together in the center,
and using three Strike-Off Lift cylinders, do not insert more
than one bolt in the bottom holes. If two bolts are placed in
the bottom of the Strike-Off Plates, the Strike-Off will not pivot
in the middle and if a crown is pulled in the Strike-Off Plate,
damage will occur to either the Strike-Off lift mechanism or
the Strike-Off Plates.
d. If a Hydraulic Center Bar Inserter is being used on a particular

pour, it may be necessary to offset the center of the spreader
box to the right or left, to allow mounting of the Center Bar
Inserter on the Spreader Box Main Beam.
e. The Strike-Off plate should be adjusted to let enough concrete

into the tamper area to keep the bottom tamper bar covered,
but leave the top bar at least partially exposed.
5. Tamper Bars
a. Lower Tamper Bars are made of 5/8” x 2” material and Upper

Tamper Bars are made of 3/8” x 2” material.
b. Lower Tamper Bars should not extend into the mouth of a

curb mold. Irregular forming of the curb will occur.
c. The Two Main Tamper Bars (Lower and Upper) that are
mounted in the center of the machine should never have to be
removed. Only the outer tamper bars will have to be changed
as widths are changed on the Paver.
d. The Lower Tamper Bars should be adjusted so that at the bottom
of their stroke, the bottom of the Lower Tamper Bar is even
with the bottom of the Paving Pan.
e. The Lower Tamper Bar extensions, shown in the schematic

layout section of this manual, should end within one or two
inches of the Side Forms, unless a curb mold is part of the
assembly.
f. When paving, be aware that the tamper bar is operating at or

near the bottom of the Paving Pan. Manholes, catch basins or
other obstacles in the grade need to be adjusted so that the
Lower Tamper Bar or Pan do not come in contact with these
obstacles.
6. Tamper Shafts
a. The two Main Tamper Shafts should never have to be removed

from the Paver. Only the outer tamper shafts will need to be
changed with various widths. After a width change, and from
time to time during operation of the machine, the set screws
that connect the Tamper Shafts to each other and to the drive
motors should be checked for adjustment.
b. When mounting the Tamper Shaft support bearings during a

width change, be certain that the tamper shaft is properly
aligned over the full width of the paver before tightening all
bearing support bolts.
c. The outermost Tamper Shaft Bearing mount has two possible

holes for mounting to the Main Frame. If no crown is needed in
the pour, use the lower hole. If a high crown is needed, install
the Tamper Shaft support bracket in the upper hole.
d. Tamper drive speed is adjusted by a control on the left side

of the console. Typically, faster tamper speed is needed with
drier concrete and larger aggregate.
7. Paving Pan
a. The Paving Pan on the HEM is typically set flat (from right to left
and front to back) from the factory, with curb molds or
standard end pans as requested. However, great care should
be taken by the operator in setting the crown and checking
the pan flatness with a stringline before the first pour. There
are several adjustments on the Paving Pan to insure rigidity
during the paving process. In certain conditions, large hydraulic
pressures are pushing upward on the paving pan; therefore, all
adjusting devices on the Pan should be tight.
b. There are three horizontal adjusting bolts between each Pan

section that will allow the operator to make fine adjustments
in the flatness of the Pan. Screwing the lock nuts on these
horizontal adjusting bolts either in or out will make the
adjacent pan deflect up or down.
c. All Pavers are equipped with either four or eight vertical

adjusting bars that connect the pan to the top of the Frame
Extensions. These bars are typically needed to stiffen the pan
at widths that exceed 24’. Use of these bars, properly adjusted,
will eliminate deflection in the Paving Pan.
d. Most Pavers are also equipped with a “Power Crown on the Go”
function. This allows the operator to raise the front or the
rear of the pan independently of each other, and while
paving. This function is very useful, for example, when paving
through a street intersection and going from a crowned slab to
flat, then back to crowned. The “Power Crown on the Go”
allows the tamper system and the vibrator system t o
automatically follow the paving pan as it changes crown angle.
Before starting a pour where you will be using this function, the
Pan pull back bars must be loosened to allow free movement
of the front pan face up and down on the Frame Extension and
main frame fronts. Also, before the pour, it is wise to check for
any dried concrete that might be stuck between the back of the
pan fronts and the Main Frame. Check for this visually, then try
running the crown lift assembly to make sure everything is free.
CAUTION: Operate the two crown lift levers simultaneously to
prevent damage to the pans or the crown lift assembly. DO NOT
lift the front or rear of the pan more than 1/2” without bringing
the other end to the same level.
e. When making the initial adjustment to the pan, measurement

from the top of the frame to the surface of the pan should be
the same in the front as it is in back. Any pitch needed in the
paving pan should be done with the stringline sensors. Under
normal conditions, the pan should be no more than 1/4” higher
in front than in back. If the pan is too flat, the slab finish will
be porous. If the pan is pitched too much, the paver will tend to
climb up on the slab that can make the paver lose traction. Too
much pitch can also make the concrete “bulge” as it comes
out the trailing edge of the pan.
f. When using a curb mold, the one-foot end pan must be removed
and the curb mold put in its place. An end pan can be
distinguished from a standard one-foot pan by the
compression section built into the front end of the end pan.
This compression section in the end pans is to improve the
density in the edge of the slab. 1” of compression, horizontally
and vertically is built into the curb mold. This should be enough
to shape the curb, however, adjustment is provided in the mold
at it’s front and rear and can be changed for various conditions.
8. Side Forms
a. The HEM side forms are fully hydraulically controlled from a
triple spool valve located on either side of the machine on the
rear towers. Their location is such that the ground person can
watch the side forms as he adjusts them.
b. The Side Forms have 6 way hydraulic movements.

• Rear - up and down
• Front - up and down
• Center - in and out
c. The front end of the Side Form should be adjusted to lightly
skim the grade, to keep wet concrete from boiling out
underneath. The front end of the Side Form is also spring
loaded to allow for some variation in grade. However, if not
properly adjusted, it is possible for the side form to dig into the
grade hard enough to let the paver spin out. In fact, if the paver
ever does spin out, the problem is typically a section of uneven
grade or improper adjustment allowing the Side Form to dig
into the grade.
d. The cylinder that operates the in-out movement of the Side

Form is equipped with a ball valve. This ball valve should be
closed after the side form is closed and before the paving process
starts. This will prevent an operator from unknowingly opening
the Side Form and allowing the wet concrete to spill out of the
Paving Pans.
e. When the machine is manually raised to it’s maximum height,

the side forms can sometimes tip inward underneath the end of
the pans or curb molds. If this happens, and the machine is then
lowered, damage can occur to the end of pans or curb mold.
f. Each Side Form also has a series of adjustment bolts, which can
be adjusted from the outside of the track frame. These bolts are
used to adjust the batter in the slab or curb, by allowing the Side
Form to either tip out at the bottom or remain upright.
g. The rear of the Side Form can be hydraulically moved out to

allow backing over the previous days pour, to reduce the amount
of hand work between two days continuous paving.
9. Sensors
a. The HEM is equipped with four hydraulic grade sensors and
either one or two hydraulic steering sensors (forward steering is
standard, rear steering is optional).
b. The four grade sensors are located at each corner of the

machine and during the paving process; they will automatically
keep the paver on the same plane as the stringline.
c. Shutting the ball valve attached to it can shut off each grade
sensor individually at any time. To deactivate all steering
sensors at the same time, move the steering selector lever to
the center (neutral) position. Shutting off an individual sensor
can be helpful in paving past an obstruction, (such as a splice in
the string line), by letting a ground man momentarily shut off
each individual sensor as it passes the obstruction.
d. Each sensor wand is equipped with an adjustable counter

weight. This counter weight should be adjusted so the wand
keeps a steady pressure against the string line, but not so much
pressure as to deflect the string.
10. Tracks
a. The tracks should be adjusted so that the tension cylinder just
starts to compress the tension spring. The tracks need to
remain fairly loose, to allow as much flex as possible in the
track pads, so they clean themselves.
b. Do not allow concrete to dry in the clean-out holes of the

track pads or the teeth of the drive sprocket.
c. To tighten the track, inject grease into the cylinder located in the
tension group next to the front idler. You will need a “button-
head” grease zerk adapter on a standard grease gun to do this.
d. The track is loosened by loosening the cap nut on the cylinder

grease fitting and releasing enough grease to let the cylinder
contract.
11. Shutdown System
a. Depressing the red button on the upper right hand corner

of the operator’s console activates the Intermittent Shutdown
System.
Warning: Before restarting operation of the

machine, make sure everyone is clear of the machine.
b. To engage all systems, lift the red emergency shutdown

button.
c. The shutdown system controls the following functions:
• Tamper Drive
• Auto-Grade
• Travel
• Vibration
• Belt Finisher (optional)
d. The most common use of the shutdown system is to stop the

paving process while waiting for concrete delivery, without
stopping each function individually.
12. Vibration System
a. Generally, unless otherwise specified, the paver is equipped

with a hydraulic vibrator on each 2’ spacing.
b. Vibrator frequency (vibrations per minute) can be adjusted

individually or en-masse. Individual vibrators are adjusted at
the manifold where hydraulic hoses are attached. Vibrators
are adjusted en-masse with the flow control valve, located on
the console.
c. Vibrator angle and spacing can be adjusted with set screws at

the base of the vibrator mount.
Warning: The shutdown system does not stop the

auger drive. This is to let the operator move concrete
across the width of the machine while all other functions
are shut down.
d. Vibrator operating depth can be changed from the console, and

should generally be set so the bottoms of the vibrators are
slightly above the top of the finished slab height. Different
mixes and slumps of concrete require vibration at various
depths in relation to slab depth, however, inserting the
vibrators too deep with excess frequency can leave visible
“vibrator trails” behind the paver, where the aggregate is gone
from those areas of the slab.
e. When a curb mold is used, the end vibrator should be as close
to the mouth of the mold as possible, and in the center of the
mold opening. The curb vibrator should generally be set down
and back at a 45-degree angle.
f. Vibrators tend to pull the water towards the top of the slab. A
higher frequency will pull more water to the top of the slab, and
lower frequency pulls less.
13. Pressure Wash System
a. For technical information regarding the pressure washer,

see the manufacturers manual.
b. The paver engine should be running at a minimum of 1500

RPM to operate the pressure wash system.
c. The hand wand has an adjustable tip for changing the spray
angle of the pressurized water.
d. The pressure washer is equipped with five check valves, one

under each of the cap nuts. If the pressure washer has a
sudden loss of pressure, shut the pressure washer off, and
remove the cap nuts to expose each check valve and check for
small pieces of contaminants. NOTE: Be aware that the check
valves are spring-loaded and will pop out of the pressure
washer body when the cap nuts are removed.
14. Hydraulic System Pressures
a. Each function of the paver is equipped with it’s own pump.

Systems and their recommended pressures are as follows.
• Right Auger 1800 psi

Left Auger 1800 psi
•
5-Stack 1800 psi
•
Left Vibrator 1000 psi
•
Right Vibrator 1000 psi
•
Tamper 1400 psi
•
Travel 1800 psi
•
10 Stack Valve 1800 psi
•
• Auxiliary 1800 psi
• Side Forms
• Side Bar Inserters
• Center Bar Inserters
b. Various paving conditions will require different system
pressures. Feel free to contact your HEM Representative for
technical assistance regarding hydraulic systems.
c. Gauges on the console and pressure relief manifold, (located on

the right hand side of the operators console) indicate the
hydraulic pressure of each system.
d. System pressures can be adjusted at each individual pressure
relief valve on the pressure relief manifold.
Warning: Excessive hydraulic pressure can cause

damage to hydraulic components and hoses.
Previous Day Processes
1. Adjust the Paving Pan according to previous instructions to

achieve desired slab profile.
2. Drive three stakes at finished slab level behind the paver, across the
width of your pave. It is suggested that one stake be driven 1’ inside
the finished slab edge, the second stake driven to slab level in the
center of the pour and the third stake driven to proper height 1’
from the opposite edge of the slab.
3. After the Paving Pan has been properly set with a stringline, slowly
back the machine towards the stakes. Activate the “Auto-Grade”
system and adjust the rear sensor jacks to bring the back of the pan
in line with the top of the stakes. CAUTION: when adjusting sensors,
or manually raising and lowering the individual towers, keep all
four corners of the machine close to being on the same plane. Do
not twist the machine from corner to corner. Serious frame
damage can occur if one corner of the machine is raised or lowered
too far out of the same plane as the other towers.
4. After the rear of the pans is set to the same level as the three
indicator stakes, place a 4’ level on the paving pan, from front to
rear, and adjust the front sensors to bring the front of the pans in
line to create a 1/8” to 1/4” pitch in the front of the pan.
5. Next, set the steering sensor. With the steering selector valve in the
forward steer position, adjust the steering sensor arm in or out,
as the paver is moving slowly forward. With the dimension for the
distance between the stringline and the slab (offset) in mind,
measure the distance between the stringline and the inside edge
of the closed side form. Move the steering sensor arm in or out
accordingly, drive the paver ahead to allow it to seek its new path
after the steering sensor adjustment and re-measure. Perform this
procedure until the desired offset measurement is found.
6. All sensor arms and jacks should be adjusted so that the sensor
wands contact the stringline about 4” from the end of the wand.
7. The rear steering option is used most commonly when the paver
must be backed down a long grade. Setting the rear steering
sensor should be done with the steering selector valve in the
reverse position, then following the instructions in (5) above.
8. After setting the grade and steering sensors, it is best to make a

dry run with the paver. By running the length of the pour, you
will make sure your manholes, catch basins, etc. are set at the
proper level, string lines are set at the correct width, obstructions
are clear of the track line, etc.
9. NOTE: When paving a radius, the steering sensor must be on the

inside of the radius to make the paver track properly. If the
pour includes an “S” curve, the operator has the following
options.
a. Automatically steer through one curve of the “S”, then, with
hoses that will need to be extended, move the steering sensor
to the opposite side of the paver and automatically steer
through the second curve.
b. Automatically steer through the right hand side of the

curve, then manually steer through the second curve.
c. (Recommended) move the rear steering sensor to the left hand

side of the paver and use the combination of sensors as
right/left instead of front/rear. (HEM technicians can
advise you with any of these procedures).
10. Be certain that the track line for the paver has been leveled and
compacted to withstand the weight of the paver. The success of
the pour is highly dependent upon the smooth operation of the
tracks, with no obstacles or undulations, and a clear path to at least
27” from the edge of the slab.
11. Liberally spray form oil or a release agent on parts of the paver
that will come in contact with wet concrete. The future value of
your paver and the ease of operation are directly proportional to
how well it is maintained and kept free of dry concrete.
Pre-Paving Check List
1. Fill fuel tank, water tanks and check engine oil level.
2. Grease towers.
3. Walk the stringline and trackline.
4. Check stringline tension.
5. Check all paver functions, vibrators, augers, grade sensors, and tampers.
6. Check front and rear side form height.
7. Push side forms in and lock cylinder with ball valve.
8. Spray paver with oil or release agent.
9. Manually move sensor wands and watch for tower movement.
10. Move steering selector valve to forward position.
11. Check all system working pressures with engine running at 1800 rpm.
12. Start with 1 3/4” to 2” slump concrete.
Warning: When turning the machine, roll the

tracks in opposite direction. DO NOT skid tracks, as
damage may occur.

Maintenance, Lubrication and
Periodic Service
Please see engine manufacturer’s manual for all engine maintenance,
lubrication and periodic information.
CAUTION: Use only high quality lubricants and fuels

that have been properly stored in clean, dry locations.
Remove all contaminants from filler caps and access ports
before checking or filling. Remove all dirt and grease from
grease zerks before lubricating.
DANGER: Never fill the fuel tank while the engine

is hot, or running. Clean all fuel spills before restarting
engine. Do not breathe fuel fumes.
Diesel Fuel
Diesel engines have the ability to burn a wide variety of fuels. These fuels are divided
into two general groups. The two groups are called preferred fuels and permissible
fuels. The preferred fuels provide maximum engine service life and performance.
The preferred fuels are distillate fuels. These fuels are commonly called diesel fuel,
furnace fuel, gas oil, or kerosene.
The permissible fuels are crude oils or blended fuels. Use of these fuels can result in
higher maintenance cost and reduce engine service life.
In North America, diesel fuel that is identified as No. 1-D or No 2-D in ASTM D976
generally meet the specifications.
Please see the engine manufacturer’s manual, included with this machine manual, for
more detailed information regarding fuel recommendations.
Diesel fuel should be clean and free of contaminates. The fuel tank on this machine
and the storage tanks holding fuel that will enter this tank should be regularly
checked for possible contamination and cleaned of any foreign material. Avoid using
fuels that have been stored for an excessive period of time.
Engine Oil
The performance of commercial diesel engine oils is based on American Petroleum

Institute (API) classifications. These API classifications are developed in order to
provide commercial lubricants for a broad range of diesel engines that operate at
various conditions.
Please see the engine manufacturer’s manual, included with this machine manual, for
more detailed information regarding engine oil recommendations.
Grease
Use any high-grade multi-purpose lithium grease. Store all lubricants in dry, clean
storage locations. The proper and timely application of grease will help keep
bearings and bushings free of contaminants.
Gear Case Oil
Use any high-grade 90 wt. gear lube in the track planetary drives.
Hydraulic Oil
Use any ISO grade 32 clear hydraulic oil. The oil in the machine when new from
the factory is PetroBlend AW-150
Immediately before each pour
1. Coat all surfaces of paver, which might come in contact with concrete, with
form oil to aid in clean up after the pour.

Troubleshooting
WARNING: Only experienced, qualified personnel should

be allowed to troubleshoot and perform repair work on the
machine. Be aware of all safety procedures when troubleshooting
any machine.
The following procedures cover only basic machine problems. For major
machine failures, contact the HEM factory for assistance.
Engine Troubleshooting
For engine problems and troubleshooting assistance, please refer to the engine manual
provided for this machine. If further assistance is needed, please call the HEM factory.
Symptom - Curb is slumping or falling over.
Problem/Solution
1. Lower the slump of the concrete.

2. Increase the “head” of concrete in front of the pan.
3. Increase vibrator speed.
4. Reduce travel speed.
Symptom - Curb is tearing.
Problem/Solution
1. Increase the slump of the concrete.

2. Lower the front of mold.
3. Avoid stopping and starting.
4. Reduce vibrator speed.
Symptom - Curb Mold is not completely filling.
Problem/Solution
1. Raise the strike-off in front of the mold to increase the head of

concrete.
2. Check the position of the mold vibrator. It may be creating an
obstruction in the mold throat.
3. Increase vibration speed.
4. Raise the front of the mold.
Symptom - Curb consists of too much mortar and too little aggregate.
Problem/Solution
1. Excess vibration is causing mortar to migrate downhill to the curb

mouth.
2. Reduce vibration over the width of the slab.
3. Insert vibrator baffle into the spreader box area to prevent

mortar from migrating to the curb mouth.
Symptom – Paver quits steering
Problem/Solution
1. Steering Sensor has come off string line.

2. Steering selector valve is not in co rrect position.
Symptom - A grade sensor stops working.
Problem/Solution
3. Grade sensor has come off string line.

4. Auto-Grade valve is not on.
5. Sensor wand is loose on sensor.
6. Sensor ball valve is off.
7. Grade solenoid valve is not operating.
8. Walking valve is on.
Symptom - Tamper will not operate.
Problem/Solution
1. Square key in tamper shaft has come loose.

2. Lower tamper bar is lodged on an obstruction.
3. Concrete has set too hard while waiting.
4. Tamper relief valve is set too low.
5. Tamper solenoid valve is not operating.
Symptom - Tracks on paver lose traction.
Problem/Solution
1. Side form is digging into the grade

2. Front of paver is too high, letting the paver climb up on the slab.
3. Too much concrete in front of the paver.
4. Concrete in front of paver is too dry.
5. Track line is too soft or of a material that will not compact.
Symptom - Front or rear of one track completely rises.
Problem/Solution
1. Sensor wand has come off string line.
2. Sensor spool is stuck in the “up” position and the return spring is not
returning the spool to the neutral position.
Warning: Make sure the engine is off and pressure

has been released from the system. Do not allow
contaminants into the system.
• To diagnose this problem, switch the c1 and c2 ports to see if the track
goes in the opposite direction. When the spool is stuck, switching
ports will generally dislodge any contamination that may have
caused the spool to stick. If switching ports does not solve the
problem, take the bottom of the sensor loose, and manually pull
the spool down.
3. Sensors are attempting to put paver into a “twist” that the rigidity of
the frame will not allow. Several things can cause this:
• Stringline may be set for a drain or catch basin where the front of
the paver may be dipping irregularly.
• Adjustments in the sensors are being made too quickly, not

allowing the paver adequate time to reshape the slab.
• Over the course of a pour, one corner sensor may have been
adjusted more than the others, and may be asking the paver to
“twist” more than the frame will allow. When this happens, the
sensor will continue to ask the tower cylinder to retract or
extend. Since the paver has limits, in regard to frame “twist”, a track
may come off the ground when that limit is exceeded. To get the
track back on the ground, while moving, have one person at the
corner of the paver with the track off the ground, control the sensor
manually, by manipulating the wand up or down to keep the paver
track touching the ground. Have the second person go to the
opposite corner of the machine and slowly lower the paver with
the sensor until the first track stays on the ground by itself. To help
prevent this problem, when putting paver on string line, make
sure all corners of the paver are set flat with the grade, eliminating
any forward “lead” in the paving pan. After the pour has started, if
it is determined that the texture of the slab requires the front of
the pan to be tipped up, slight adjustments in the front two grade
sensors can be made with no adverse effects on the track position.
Symptom - Slab has holes in the top finish.
Problem/Solution
1. Slightly raise the vibrator rack and increase vibration.

2. Increase tamper speed.
3. Increase slump of the concrete.
4. Keep paver moving. Do not start and stop.
5. Use a multiple layer burlap drag and keep it wet.
Symptom - Concrete is rippling or bulging out the back of the pans.
Problem/Solution
1. Pan front is too high.

2. Frequency of vibration is too high.
3. Tamper speed is to fast.
Symptom - Concrete is not touching the back of the pan.
Problem/Solution
1. By adjusting the front sensors, raise the front of the pan, or lower
the back of the pan.
Symptom - Augers will not turn.
Problem/Solution
1. Check system pressure.

2. Check Auger drive.
3. Check lock bolt in connecting collar between auger & auger drive.

Section 9.
Hydraulic Sensor Adjustments
This Section contains information on adjusting the grade and steering sensors.
SETTING A HYDRAULIC SENSOR

(STEER OR GRADE)
When performing the initial set-up on a sensor, follow these instructions:
1. Remove the sensor wand arm and counter-weight from the end of the
sensor shaft.
2. When looking directly at the end of the shaft, with a common

screwdriver, align the slot in the end of the shaft, so that the arrow
stamped on the end of the shaft is pointing straight up, and the
screwdriver slot is horizontal.
3. Remove the screwdriver.
4. Observe the direction the arrow rotates when the screwdriver is

removed. The head of the arrow must rotate away from the stringline.
5. If the head of the arrow rotates toward the stringline, remove sensor
from the sensor jack and move to opposite side of the sensor jack (this
faces the sensor in the opposite direction from where it was).
6. With sensor facing the correct direction, and with the null pointer
aligned with the shaft arrow, tighten the set screw on pointer so that
pointer and the arrow point in the same direction and rotate together.
7. Rotate pointer to the “Null” position marked on the front of the sensor,
and install wand bracket and wand on the sensor shaft so that the wand
is horizontal, pointing in the direction of the stringline and in line with
the slot in the end of the shaft. Tighten the set screw in wand bracket.
8. At this point, hold pointer straight up and in line with the “Null” point.
Shaft arrow should be pointing straight up, slot in shaft should be
horizontal, and the wand should be horizontal and pointing in the
direction of the stringline.
9. Place machine on stringline with grade sensor wands under stringline

and steering sensor wands on the inside of stringline.
10. Start machine and set throttle to approximately 1500 RPM.
11. With machine on auto grade (for grade sensors), or auto steer (for
steering sensors), allow machine and sensors to “seek their own
position”. WARNING (when initially setting sensors, do not let machine
“twist” from one corner to another - raise and lower tower cylinders
together on all corners of the machine)
12. After the sensors have reached a point where they are no longer
“hunting”, take machine off Auto-Grade and place Steering Selector
Valve to neutral.
13. Without moving sensor wands, loosen pointer set screw and if pointer is
not pointing straight at the “Null” mark, carefully rotate it there now.
Re-tighten set screw on pointer.
14. Hold pointer in “Null” position. Loosen set screw on sensor wands and
rotate to horizontal. Tighten sensor wand set screws.
SUMMARY
Typically, the sensors will not null themselves out (stop searching for the neutral
spot) at exactly the same spot. However, using the shaft arrow for vertical (pointer
alignment) and the shaft end slot for horizontal (wand bracket) is a close place to
start in the Sensor Set-Up procedure. By making the initial settings first, then
starting the machine and allowing it to “hunt” for the null point, then re-setting the
pointer and wand, you are accurately positioning each sensor to it’s own individual
Null point. This is a procedure, which under normal conditions, should not have to
be done again.
