Check the mat thickness at several places across the mat. Make any adjustments to the controls that are needed.Note: Do not adjust the controls too often. Allow at least three lengths of the tow arm before you check the results of the adjustment. This will allow the effect of the adjustment to stabilize prior to making another adjustment. Whenever you make an adjustment, do not turn the thickness control more than 360 degrees at a time.
For manual adjustments to mat thickness, the screw assemblies are available in right hand thread and left hand thread. Prior to starting the paving operation, become familiar with the operation of the thickness controls. If you are using the automatic controls, do not turn the manual adjustments under normal operating conditions.
