User manual KAWAI X150-D

[. . . ] Power controls for crown, height and slope are standard features that increase operator efficiency. The electric screed heat control panel utilizes touch-pad technology for simplified operation and backlit LED's provide easy recognition for a user-friendly operating environment. page 5 Serviceability The X150-D has been designed for easy service and maintenance. Access to components such as screed plate adjusters, slope stops, wiring harnesses, hydraulic lines and grease fittings make service quick and efficient. [. . . ] This rearward location allows material to easily flow back to the extender when increasing paving widths. Heavy-Duty Support Design Two heavy-duty support tubes and a third frame member stabilize the extender and prevents flexing for even material flow. Extender-Mounted Controls The extenders include controls for adjusting paving width, material flow and tow-point height, convenient features when setting-up for wide width paving. Integrated Harnesses The electrical connections for the sonic feeder control sensors are integrated within the screed frame, eliminating the extra cord leading to the tractor. Heavy-Duty Supports Integrated Sonic Harness Extender-Mounted Controls Screed Plates The industry-leading electric heating system delivers tight textures for high-quality mats and a long service life. Screed Plates The screed plates are constructed of an abrasion resistant alloy steel and utilize curved nose-bars to provide precompaction and good material flow. Hydraulically-Driven Vibrators Hydraulically-driven vibrators mounted on the main screed and extenders increase mix density under the screed. Electric Heating Elements The heating elements are located in each screed plate section to provide even heat distribution. The heating elements are reusable and can be easily removed and installed on new screed plates. Uniform Heating The heating elements provide uniform heat distribution over the entire screed plate for reliable operation. end Gates Easy-grip handles and dual-bolt guides provide smooth height adjustments to ensure good joint-matching capabilities. Hydraulic System The extenders are hydraulically controlled with electric-over-hydraulic components. Hydraulic connections have O-ring face seal (ORFS) fittings and straight-thread O-ring (STOR) couplings to provide maximum protection against hydraulic system leaks. Vibrator System The main screed and extenders are equipped with a vibrator system that provides initial compaction. Vibrator speed is adjustable with a rheostat control located on the right control panel from 0 to 50 Hz (0-3, 000 vpm). Extender Configuration Extender width changes can be made from the tractor, main screed or remote-mounted control boxes. The remote-mounted control boxes are positioned at the end of each extender. Extenders are equipped with vibrators and heaters that are separate from the main screed. Screed Controls The controls are logically grouped providing easy operation. The electric heat control panel is mounted on the right side of the screed near the center walkway. The electric heat panel includes a touch pad with high intensity LED's for simplified use. Remote-mounted control boxes are mounted on the outboard side of each extender. [. . . ] Temperature sensors located in each screed section including the extenders provide inputs to the electric heat controller. The controller automatically adjusts the screed plate to the selected temperature range. Three temperature ranges; low, medium and high are available to accommodate various environmental conditions and asphalt mixes. The heating elements are held in place with threaded bolts and clamps making removal and installation onto new screed plates quick and easy. [. . . ]
