MACHINE DESCRIPTION The Ingersoll-Rand Blaw-Knox PF-161 Paver/Finisher is a wheel-mounted, mid-sized paver! finisher capable of placing bituminous base, binder and surface course mixes, cement or lime stabilized sub-base and graded aggregate materials. ‘The PF-161 Paver/Finisher functionally consists of two sections (Figure 2). These sections are called the tractor (1, Figure 2) and the screed (2, Figure 2). First, the tractor receives, delivers and spreads the paving material in front of the screed. The tractor then, tows the screed forward over the paving material As the screed is being towed over the paving material it levels, smooths, seals and starts the ‘compaction process on the mat (Newly paved area). PF-161 PaveriFinisher INTRODUCTION The following paragraphs provide a brief description of each of the major components that make up the PF-161 PaverFinisher. Standard components are addressed initially followed by brief descriptions of each of the available options Figure 2 ENGINE The PF-161 Paver/Finishor is powered by the Cummins “Elite” series, EPA certified, 4 cylinder, turbocharged diesel model 4BTA 3.9...239 cubic inch (3.92) displacement, 107 hp (80 kW) @ 2100 rpm. The engine is equipped with an oil cooler, replaceable oil filter, replaceable fuel filter, replaceable air cleaner element and a real-time hour meter located in the electrical junction box. Refer to the Cummins Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual supplied with the Paver! Finisher for additional engine operating and maintenance procedures. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ‘The PF-161 PaveriFinisher utilizes a 12-Volt, negative ground with a 105-Amp alternator for its electrical needs. Wiring is color coded, number impregnated and the harness is wrapped in polyethylene looms for maximum durability and ease of servicing, All circuits tie to circuit boards located in the operator's swing console and are equipped with automatic reset circuit breakers. PF-161 PaveriFinisher INTRODUCTION HYDRAULIC SYSTEM The PF-161 Paver/Finisher is equipped with a hydraulic system that has a 151-liter (40 gal.) reservoir capacity. Primary filtration is accomplished with 5.0 micron variable depth “Fiberglas” filters on the inlet side of each traction-drive charge pump. ‘Secondary filtration is accomplished with 100-mesh strainers located on the suction side of the general purpose and feeder drive-pump circuits. All hydraulic circuits are routed through a central, easy access valve block equipped with interchangeable solenoid cartridge valves for maximum reliability and easy servicing FUEL SYSTEM The PF-161 Paver/Finisher is equipped with a 144-liter (38 gal.) fuel tank, equipped with a replaceable filter. This fuel tank provides an onboard supply of diesel fuel for the engine, heaters and the pressurized washdown system. COOLING SYSTEM The PF-161 is equipped with a 24.6 L (26 qt.) capacity cooling system. BRAKES ‘The PF-161 Paver/Finisher primary braking is accomplished via the dynamics of a hydrostatic traction drive system Hydraulic secondary parking brakes, an intemal element of the planetary final drive units, can be switch actuated from either operator's console, These spring-applied secondary parking brakes are automatically actuated when the main power switch is in the OFF position, electric power is otherwise interrupted or there is a pressure drop in the general purpose hydraulic system Refer to Section 5 of this manual for additional Brake information. TRACTION DRIVE ‘The PF-161 Paver/Finisher is equipped with an independent, hydrostatic direct drive system with electricihydraulic controlled single-speed planetaries and 2-speed motors. Speed selection is infinitely variable in each of the two speed ranges: Low Range @ 2100 rpm. 0 -3.6 kph (2.2 mph) High Range @ 2100 rpm. 0 - 15.9 kph (9.9 mph) PF-161 PaveriFinisher INTRODUCTION TRACTION LOCK SYSTEM ‘The PF-161 PaveriFinisher is equipped with an electronically controlled hydraulic version of a mechanical-locking differential. This provides a full-time tractive effort at both drive wheels with an intemal pressure modulation feature between right and left-side drives to compensate for the unequal power requirement of turning. PIVOT STEERING An electrical switch on the operator's console hydraulically destrokes the respective right or leftside traction pump to the neutral position for power-assisted steering in confined quarters. REAR SUSPENSION Two 14:00 X 20 low-pressure (182 to 260 kPa (25 to 35 psi), sand rib, high-flotation tires, hydroinflated to 75%. FRONT SUSPENSION Four steerable, 305 mm (12 in, kwide and 559 mm (22 in.}-diameter, solid-rubber tired wheels, are mounted on a offset tandem bogie frame. Front machine weight is proportionally split 40-60% between the front and rear sets of bogies for optimum weight distribution. Tie-rod synchronized steering cylinders (one on each side) are mounted on the outside of the bogie frame for easy service access OPERATOR’S UMBRELLA The PF-161 Paver/Finisher is equipped with an operator's umbrella measuring 1373 mm (54 in.) square. The umbrella comes with mounting hardware included TRUCK HITCH ‘Two bearing-equipped push rollers mounted on an oscillating frame with electricihydraulic actuated roller-equipped clamp arms quickly grip and secure a truck in proper attitude for unloading material into the machines hopper. It automatically compensates for both minor lateral and directional misalignment of the truck with the paverffinisher with no exposed secondary slide mechanisms.

(Automatically self-centering) PF-161 Paver/Finisher INTRODUCTION POWER FLOW GATES Two separately operated, electrically controlled, adjustable flow gates (2, Figure 3) meter material delivery to the augers. The gates are located in the conveyor tunnel entry at the rear hopper. DUAL FEED SYSTEMS Separate, infinitely variable speed, hydrostatic planetary drive for right and left-side feed systems provide optimum auger/conveyor operation throughout the machine's entire capability range. Right and left-side systems function independently and operation is. controlled either manually with electrical switches or automatically by electrical sensing elements positioned at the outer end of each auger. Manual electrical switches are positioned ‘on the tractor operator's swing console and on the screed control consoles. Maintenance-free auger/conveyor bearings combine an exclusive patented seal with a new synthetic hydrocarbon lubricant to eliminate the daily greasing requirement, PF-161 PaveriFinisher INTRODUCTION CONVEYORS Conveyor assemblies (1, Figure 3) consist of solid bars riveted to special, heat-treated steel, offset link R2 (rapid -repair), heavy-bushed roller chain riding on forged steel sprockets Conveyor floor plates and rear wrap plates are constructed of abrasion-resistant QT steel with a Brinell hardness range of 360 to 440 throughout the entire plate thickness. Conveyor Tunnel Opening 1362 mm (63.625 in.) Conveyor Floor Plate Thickness. 10 mm (375 in.) AUGERS: ‘Augers (1, Figure 4) consists of replaceable, high alloy, cast steel hemi-screw sections. ‘Augers are adjustable in height hydraulically by simply actuating an electrical switch Table 3: Auger Specifications CHARACTERISTIC ] ‘SPECIFICATION ‘Auger Diameter 356 mm (14 in.) ‘Auger Flight Thickness 16 mm (5/8-in.) ‘Auger Height Adjustment (above grade) | 114-279 mm (4.5 - 10.5 in.) Figure 4 PF-161 Paver/Finisher INTRODUCTION AUTOMATIC FEED CONTROL SYSTEM The PF-161 Paver/Finisher is equipped with a Mat Kontrol® II to control the operating speed of the dual feed systems. This system is supplied with a choice of either Paddle Sensors or Ultra 3°° (Ultrasonic Sensing System) Sensors. The following paragraphs provide a brief explanation of each sensor system MAT KONTROL® II WITH PADDLE SENSORS An electric/hydraulic control arrangement that automatically controls both the on-off action and infinitely variable operating speed of the dual feed systems. Paddle Sensors are mounted at the outer end of each auger. From these locations, they monitor the volume of material in front of the screed via actual contact with the material. As these paddles detect the level of material present, they will actuate the feeder drives as necessary and either cause an increase or decrease of conveyor speed or even start and stop the conveyor(s), as appropriate, to maintain a consistent volume of material to the screed, MAT KONTROL® Il WITH ULTRA 3°® SENSORS An electric/hydraulic control arrangement that automatically controls both the on-off action and infinitely variable operating speed of the dual feed systems. The Ultra 3s® sensors are positioned at the outer end of each auger. From these positions, they monitor the volume of material in front of the screed and control the feeder drives, as necessary, to maintain a consistent volume of material to the screed. Unlike the paddle system described above, the Ultra 3°° system makes no actual physical contact with the material. Instead, it works very similar to an active sonar system, as it sends sound pulses to the material in front of the screed and waits for a bounce-back or echo. Accurate measurement of the resulting time delay between output pulse and the returning echo results in a level of accuracy rivaling mechanical means such as paddles. This system is much less vulnerable to heat and abrasions than the paddle system since it has no physical contact with the material. SMOKE-EATER® VENTILATION CONTROL SYSTEM This is a machine-mounted heat and fume extraction system that provides a cleaner, cooler and more environmentally friendly work area for the machine's operator and screedman. The system is provided standard on all machines manufactured for domestic use. The system consists of a single, hydraulically-driven, high-volume fan and two collector hoods, The system gathers heat and fumes from the paver's auger and screed area and disperses them into the atmosphere away from the operators via a single, deck-mounted exhaust stack The exhaust stack folds down to minimize transport height of the machine. A 3:position switch controls the system. The three positions of this switch are; “ON” (constant system operation), “AUTO” (system operates only when the paver is in motion), and “OFF” (the system does not operate) ‘vacuum sight switch is incorporated into the fan intake plenum to permit visual monitoring of the system for proper operation PF-161 PaveriFinisher INTRODUCTION WASHDOWN SYSTEM A pressurized diesel fuel washdown system with a 10.7 m (35 ft.) hose and spray valve nozzle (2, Figure 5) is mounted on a self-storing, spring-retracting hose reel. Pressurization of the washdown hose is controlled via a washdown hose pump switch (1, Figure 5). Figure 5 CONTROLS The dual control stations (right and left side) are each equipped with an operator's seat (2, Figure 6) and a direction/speed control pedestal (1, Figure 6). ‘A.common, center-mounted, swing console (3, Figure 6) with position lock, provides both control stations with electrical switch control of the main power, starter, throttle, horn, shifting of traction-drive motors, right and left-side feed system function, screed lift, auger lft, folding hopper, flow gates, screed vibrator function, parking brake, traction lock system, pivot steering, optional truck hitch and optional front-wheel power assist. The screed vibrator frequency/amplitude, feed system speed, flow gate override, powered screed functions and mat depth are all controlled from the screed control boxes (4, Figure 6). The swing console also contains the tachometer/hour meter and analog gauges for engine oil pressure, water temperature, voltmeter and hydraulic oil temperature. Warning lights are also included for "Brake On", “Change Hydraulic Filter" and “Low Material" for units equipped with optional material indicators.

Front Wheel Power Assist Option This is a separate, constant torque, hydrostatic-drive arrangement for the rear set of front bogie wheels. It provides up to 20% more tractive effort in the machine's paving speed range. Material Indicator Kit Option This kit consists of electrical sensing elements that when mounted on the flow gates audibly warn the paverifinisher operator when material level drops below a preset level at the conveyor tunnel entry. Blaw-Kontroll® Il Option This option is an extremely accurate, electronic grade-and-slope control system. It automatically maintains the elevation and transverse (side-to-side) slope of a paver/finisher’s screed to preset specification parameters, with respect to a single reference. This is accomplished by controlling the machine's hydraulic system. ‘The system can also be set up to control the elevation of each side of the screed with respect to grade by referencing from both sides of the paver/finisher simultaneously. The system will sense and correct for deviation in grade elevation as small as 0.127 mm (0.005 in.) when using the standard Blaw-Knox mechanical-grade sensor. Slope resolution is 0.005%. PF-161 PaveriFinisher INTRODUCTION UltraEye® V Grade Sensor Option This option is an ultrasonic “non-contacting” grade sensor for the Blaw-Kontro!® II system. This option is directly interchangeable with the standard mechanical-grade sensor. This sensor provides a resolution of 0.508 mm (0.020 in.) Automatic Level Control (Also Known as a Joint Matcher) Op! This is an electric/hydraulic control system that automatically controls the elevation of the mat being placed on one side of the paverifinisher with respect to a reference surface such as an adjacent mat or curb, This option is also available in sets (2 each) to control mat elevation on both sides of the machine simultaneously. The resolution of this system is 3.175 mm (0.1259 in). Floating Beam Reference Option This option is used as a sensing reference for a Blaw-Kontro!® II Control System. It accurately averages longitudinal irregularities in the grade over which paving is being performed. This eliminates the expense of installing and maintaining stringline references. It is available in 6.10 m (20 ft), 9.14 m (30 ft) and 12.20 m (40 ft) lengths and in sets (2 each) for dual grade referencing Mat Reference Option This is a 6.10 m (20 ft) rear-mounted aluminum beam riding on eight (8) sets of spring-loaded dual road wheels with the aluminum bridge and hardware required to match it to a 9.14 m (30 ft. front-mounted floating beam. This produces a 16.77 m (55 ft.) mobile-grade referencing system Additional Operator’s Umbrella Option This is a 1372 mm (54 in.) square umbrella with mounting hardware supplemental to the standard single unit to accommodate the second operator's control station.
