ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT LIMIT SWITCH:

1. The limit switch cuts power to the appropriate solenoid when the Automatic

Height Control lifts the rear wheel to an adjustable set point. This keeps the rear

wheel in contact with the ground at all times to maintain stability and traction.

2. Plug the limit switch pigtail into the limit switch cable on the Paver main unit. Use

the extension cable (#11447) if required.

3. The paver must be completely adjusted and ready to pour for a given concrete

mold. Loosen the 1/4" bolt holding the limit switch in place. Slide the switch

down until the wheel actuator contacts sensor bracket, continue sliding the

switch down until the switch contact snap is heard. Raise the switch until the

contact snap is heard again, then lower the switch down an additional 1/4" to

1/2" and tighten the bolt.

4. Test the limit switch position by placing the paver on a flat slab (concrete or asĆ

phalt) and lowering mold (manual control). The bottom edge of the mold

should be above the slab approximately 1/8" to 1/4". Mark the location of the

limit switch on cylinder.

5. The limit switch will stop the bottom edge of the mold from traveling below the

bottom edge of the rear tire. This will prevent the mold from dragging on the

ground and also maintain solid traction on the near wheel next to mold.

6. The limit switch height may have to be fine tuned depending on base stability.

Example: on loose base you may have to lower the limit switch approximately

1/4" to 1/2" to maintain better wheel traction.
