 Operation
Setting up the screed

3 OPERATION
NOTE

Pay attention to the instructions in the Safety manual for all activities.

This section describes how the components and the screed are operated
and adjusted.
Item numbers on illustrations of specific parts are marked in the text with
square brackets [ ].
NOTE

Some of the screed's functions are controlled from the operator's console
on the road paver.
Read separate operating instructions on the road paver.

3.01 Setting up the screed

NOTE

During all screed set-up tasks, the screed must rest on the screed lock
while being free of twisting.

Setting up the screed  Fit the screed (see page 99 sqq.).

– Extend the screed extending unit to its working width.
– Fit the extensions.
– Fit and align the end plates.
 Prepare the screed for operation (see Road paver operating
instructions).
– Heat the screed.
– Leave compaction systems to run at low speed. Perform function
test on compaction systems.
 Position the road paver.
 Adjust to the position setpoint (see following section).
– Adjust the paving thickness.
– Adjust the crown and transverse profile.
– Height adjustment of the extending units.
NOTE

Tamper speed, vibration speed and pressure bar pressure are adjusted
by using the outer control stand of the road paver.
Read separate operating instructions on the road paver.

 Tow point ram
 Crown adjustment
 Extending unit height adjustment
 Read separate operating instructions on the road paver.

3.01.02 Adjusting the paving width

The paving width is indefinitely variable via the outer control stand.
Adjustments can be made in two speed settings.
 Read separate operating instructions on the road paver.

WARNING
Risk of crushing
Retracting and extending parts of the machine can cause fatal injuries.
 Prior to extending or retracting the extending units, ensure there are
no people or objects in the hazard area.

NOTICE
Risk of damage to the machine
Defective spare parts or wrong lubricants can impair the service life of the
machine.
 Use only original Vögele spare parts or lubricants, or those that have
been approved by Vögele AG.
 Observe lubricant chart on page 95.

5.03 Tightening torques

The tightening torques for screws and nuts are given in tables in this sub-

5.04 Lubricant chart

The lubricant chart serves as a first orientation for servicing VÖGELE
machines. It, however, does not replace the recommendations given by a
lubricant specialist or the manufacturers of engines and gearboxes.
To protect the environment, it is absolutely necessary that used oil is
disposed of in due order after servicing or oil change.
Lubricants for special applications are not included in this chart.

We only grant warranty for our machines when the listed lubricants
are used, or lubricants which can be proved to be equivalent!
Order number and package size see Parts and more catalogue.
** HVBI short designations from the Association of the German
Construction Industry refer to the "usual lubricants" used for construction
machinery and vehicles.

NOTE

Pay attention to the instructions in the Safety manual for all activities.

6.01 Fitting the extension

For an optimal paving result over the entire paving width, auger
extensions and limiting plates are fitted to the road paver.
The permissible paving widths depend on the tractor type.
 Read separate operating instructions on the road paver.
NOTE

To be able to fit auger and screed extensions, the end plates and end
plate carriers must be removed.
