3.18 Driving with water sprinkling system
After each engine start water sprinkling system is deactivated.
The water sprinkling system wets the drums/tyres and the edge pressure
and cutting device with water. The wetting prevents that bitumen sticks on
roller drums/tyres when laying blacktops. This is the way to make a neat
and even covering.
An electric water pump supplies the water sprinkling system with water.
The built-in automatic sprinkling unit adjusts the water consumption to
match the conditions of use optimally. 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.
NOTE
The sprinkling control is switched off at a road speed of less
than 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph).
Continuous operation is still possible in this case.
