Typical asphalt paverWhen you are ready to make the joint surface, raise the screed and move the paver backward. Stop the paver when the edge of the first mat is 75 to 100 mm (3 to 4 inch) in front of the screed. Lower the screed onto the slats that are thick enough for the compaction of the mat.With the screed on the first mat, adjust the thickness controls if the thickness controls have been changed. Fill the auger conveyor with asphalt. Start paving. When you set the thickness controls, you must allow enough material in order to compact the second mat. Adjust the thickness controls in order to achieve the desired mat thickness.
