3.07 Water sprinkling
General The pressure sprinkling ensures a reliable moistening of the roller drums
during blacktop works and thus prevents bituminous materials from
adhering to the drums.
An electric water pump supplies the sprinkling system with water so that
the water consumption can be optimally adjusted to the deployment
conditions using the installed automatic sprinkling. A multilevel automatic
interval system determines the minimum use of water for optimum
moisturing, using a combination of spray quantity and pump pause time.
The water pump can also be switched manually to continuous operation
at any time.
The sprinkling control is switched off at a road speed of less than
0.5 km/h (0.3 mph).
Water sprinkling
The automatic sprinkling system is switched on and off with the
switch [317]. The pilot light [232] indicates the current sprinkling stage. As
long as the switch [317] or [341] is pressed, the pump runs in continuous
operation. The switches [373] allow to increase (+) or decrease (-)
water consumption. The pilot light [207] indicates that a water pump is
supplying.
NOTE
When the machine is at a standstill, the interval sprinkling is
without function.
