Remove nozzles (2, fig. 2-7) from tool box and Install in spray bar (1) Adjust nozzles so that the angle

between slot and bar centerline is approximately 30 degrees. This is accomplished with nozzle wrench (3)

by turning the adjustment screw until the wrench touches adjacent nozzle.

Fold down the extension, then unlock bar turn-up lever and lower spray bar to operating position

(see fig. 2-8).

Set spray bar height (3, fig. 2-8) by loosening locknut (1), then set adjusting screw (2) until the nozzles are

about 12 in. from road surface when tank is empty.

exceed 180 degrees. If light remains on for more than 60 seconds, discontinue pumping and check for

plugged bitumen lines and /or frozen bitumen pump. Report to Organizational Maintenance.
