User manual KAWAI X20

[. . . ] The stations can be rotated into five different positions and the sliding control console provides operator comfort. The operator's stations can be positioned beyond the machine frame for greater visibility to the steering guide when matching a joint or paving near curbs, where precise paving control is required. 5 Advisor Monitoring System The LCD Advisor located on the sliding control console provides an interactive interface to assist the operator. The system includes project planning calculators, start-up checklists, engine operating parameters and many other features to assist the operator. [. . . ] The AP655D utilizes three steering modes including PAVE, TRAVEL and MANEUVER. This design allows the exhaust air to exit toward the hopper in order to provide a cooler engine compartment and cooler operating environment. The variable speed fan is electronically controlled and hydraulically driven to provide on-demand cooling. This on-demand operation reduces engine power demand, lowers sound levels, and increases fuel efficiency. 4 Operator Comforts for a Productive Environment The dual operator's station with sliding control console promotes optimum comfort, visibility and ease of use. The ergonomic dual operator's station incorporates a sliding control console, ground speed indicators, adjustable suspension seats, armrests and retractable seat belts. The dual swing-out operator's station can be positioned in one of five different locations to provide optimum visibility. The stations can extend beyond the machine frame for good visibility when paving applications require precise control. The sliding control console is fully equipped with comprehensive controls allowing the operator to conveniently monitor all machine functions. The optional folding canopy provides full width with two side extending wings for optimum comfort and protection. The canopy can be lowered manually for easy transportation. 1 3 2 4 Independent Auger Drive. The auger drive assembly is independent of the tractor which allows the distance between the two conveyors to be significantly reduced. Keeping the conveyors close together allows the material to flow together more easily as it discharges into the auger cavity. The tunnel and auger design eliminates voids under the chain case in order to minimize segregation. The auger assembly is hydraulically adjustable with a range of 215 mm. The ability to adjust the auger assembly simplifies loading and unloading from a transport vehicle. Also, when working with larger stone mixes, the augers can be adjusted to allow the mix to flow unrestricted under the auger assembly. The front hopper apron folds rearward providing good material flow. It reduces clean out effort and time, a feature the crew will really appreciate. A switch located on the operating control console provides power to the hydraulic folding apron. *Note: The front hopper apron is standard without the power control and folding wings. [. . . ] The screed control panels include material feeding controls for easy ground crew usage. Automatically operated when the AP655D advances following a preset ramp. Tamper starting and stopping ramps are adjustable in order to maintain an optimum mat finish. The X20 screed is equipped with electronic ignition, automatic and independent adjustment of the smoothing plate temperature for central and each mobil plate. [. . . ]
