 QUIZ ANSWER SHEET
AP-1055B Introduction
1. What are the two main sections of an asphalt paver? Identify the function of each sec-
tion.

Refer to Slide 02. Asphalt pavers consist of two basic sections: the tractor and the
screed. The tractor receives the asphalt, delivers the asphalt to the screed, and tows
the screed. The screed spreads the asphalt on the surface that is to be paved.

2. In what condition should the screed be before any work is performed on the machine?

Refer to Slide 03. The screed should be resting on the ground, or the screed travel lock
should be engaged.

3. Name the engine which powers the AP-1055B.

Refer to Slide 01. The Caterpillar 3116TA engine provides the power to operate the AP-
1055B.

4. The engine is equipped with three engine coolant temperature switches. Explain the
function of each switch.

Refer to Slides 15 and 16. Two of the engine coolant temperature switches are located
on the front, left side of the engine, above the alternator. The upper engine coolant tem-
perature switch controls the gauge on the instrument panel. The lower engine coolant
temperature switch is wired into the start-aid circuit. The third engine coolant temper-
ature switch is located on the right side of the engine. This switch is one of the switch-
es that controls the alert indicator on the instrument panel.

5. Describe the function of the conveyor speed ratio dials.

Refer to Slide 18. These dials allow the operator to vary the relative speed of the drag
conveyors and augers.

6. The right conveyor mode switch will not function unless the right feeder mode switch
on the screed operator’s panel is in OFF, MANUAL, or AUTO. (Circle each correct
response.)

Refer to Slide 18. The feeder mode switch on the right screed operator’s panel must be
in the AUTO position for the right conveyor mode switch to function. The same is true
for the left side of the machine.

59
7. Name three of the five input devices which control the operation of the alert indicator.

Refer to Slide 19. The five input devices which control the operation of the alert indica-
tor are: the hydraulic oil level relay, engine oil pressure switch, coolant temperature
switch, hydraulic oil temperature switch, and the engine oil pressure relay.

8. Where is the propel speed dial located? Explain the function of the propel speed dial.

Refer to Slide 20. The propel speed dial is located at the top, right corner of the instru-
ment panel. The propel speed dial controls the sensitivity of the propel lever by limit-
ing the maximum speed at which the machine will travel when the propel lever is in
FULL FORWARD or REVERSE. Maximum travel speed is proportional to the position
of the propel speed dial: the farther the dial is rotated counterclockwise, the slower the
maximum travel speed, and the farther the dial is rotated clockwise, the faster the
maximum travel speed. When the propel speed dial is in the MINIMUM-SPEED posi-
tion, the machine remains in neutral.

9. How many speed ranges does the gear switch provide? Which of the speed ranges
allows the tracks to be counterrotated.

Refer to Slide 19. The gear switch provides three speed ranges: TRAVEL, PAVE, and
MANEUVER. When the switch in MANEUVER, the propel ECM allows the tracks to
counterrotate when the propel speed dial is in the MINIMUM-SPEED position.

10. What is the function of the propel status indicator and feeder status indicator?

Refer to Slide 19. The propel status indicator (12) and feeder status indicator (13) alert
the operator to machine faults. The propel ECM and feeder ECM illuminate the indica-
tors when a fault is detected in one of the monitored systems.

11. Where are the material height dials located? Explain the function of the material
height dials.

Refer to Slides 20 and 21. A material height dial is located at the right and left screed
operator’s stations. The material height dials allow the operator to vary the amount of
material present at the end of the augers.

of the engine access door. The junction box contains relays, timers, diodes, and resis-
tors.

14. Name the machine conditions which are required for the starter to crank the engine.

Refer to Slide 29. The electrical disconnect switch must be ON, the main circuit break-
er must be closed, the engine circuit breaker must be closed, the start switch must be
in START, and the coil of the start relay must be energized.

15. True or False: The fuel solenoid is energized only when the engine is operating.

Refer to Slide 29. False. The fuel solenoid is energized any time the start switch is in
ON or START.

61
 AP-1055B Hydraulic System Introduction
1. Name the six hydraulic systems on the machine.

Refer to Slide 30. The six hydraulic systems are: right propel, left propel, auxiliary,
vibratory, and right and left feeding systems.

2. Name the five return manifolds on the machine, and describe where each is located.

Refer to Slides 30, 33, 34, 35, and 36. The return manifolds are: the front return, rear
return, filter return, oil cooler bypass, and suction manifolds. The front return manifold
is located behind the right engine access door in the hopper. The rear return manifold
is mounted to the back wall, under the center rear access panel in the floor of the oper-
ator’s platform. The filter return manifold is located on the left side of the hydraulic
tank compartment. The oil cooler bypass manifold is mounted to the floor of the
hydraulic tank compartment, on the left side, in front of the return filter. The suction
manifold is located under the floor compartment, on the right side of the operator’s
platform.

3. Oil from which two return manifolds flows through the return filter in the hydraulic
tank?

Refer to Slide 31. Oil from the front and rear return manifolds flows through the
return filter in the hydraulic tank.

62
 AP-1055B Propel Control System
1. Describe the electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical portions of the propel system.

Refer to Slide 38. The electrical portion is made up of an ECM and associated input
and output devices. The hydraulic portion consists of two closed-circuit hydrostatic
drive loops. The mechanical portion is comprised of a two-speed, planetary final drive
on each rear wheel.

2. Where is the propel ECM located?

Refer to slide 39. The propel ECM is located in a compartment on the left side of the
machine.

3. The propel ECM has three operating modes (modes 0 through 2). Which is the service
mode?

Refer to Slide 39. Mode 1 is the service mode. (Mode 0 is the normal operating mode,
and mode 2 is the calibration mode.)

4. How many propel pumps are on the machine, and where are they located?

Refer to Slide 42. The two variable-displacement, piston-type propel pumps are located
in a compartment on the right side of the machine. The left pump is driven by the
engine, and the right pump is splined to the left pump.

5. Where can charge pressure and forward and reverse circuit pressure be measured?

Refer to Slide 42. Charge pressure in the right propel circuit can be measured at the
pressure tap which is located at the right pump. Charge pressure in the left propel cir-
cuit can be measured at the pressure tap which is located near the left charge filter.
Pressure in the forward side of the propel circuit can be measured at the pressure tap
in the top of the pump, and pressure in the reverse side of the propel circuit can be
measured at the pressure tap in the bottom face of the pump.

6. Name three of the five solenoids which are located on the brake shift and throttle con-
trol manifold. Which of the solenoids is not used on the AP-1055B?

Refer to Slide 44. The five solenoids are the low-idle solenoid, high-idle solenoid, travel
solenoid, pave solenoid, and shift solenoid. The shift solenoid is not used on the AP-
1055B.

63
7. How is the power transferred from the drive wheel to the tracks?

Refer to Slide 46. The machine is driven by the friction which is created between the
drive wheels and the tracks by a hydraulic cylinder and accumulator.

8. Name five of the 9 input devices the ECM monitors during closed-loop speed control.

Refer to slide 50. When this logic is used, the propel ECM monitors input from the pro-
pel speed dial, propel lever sensor, brake pedal sensor, gear switch, parking brake
switch, left speed sensor, right speed sensor, engine speed sensor, and the harness code
to determine the desired speed for the machine.

9. Name two operational symptoms which would indicate that a fault is present in one of
the speed sensors.

Refer to Slide 52. The machine may not track straight and/or may exhibit erratic steer-
ing. The travel and pave speeds will also be limited. The propel status indicator on the
instrument panel will be illuminated.

10. Can the operator shift between the speed ranges when the machine is moving?

Refer to Slide 54. No. The propel lever must be in NEUTRAL for the propel ECM to
change the status of the pave and travel solenoids. If the propel lever is not in NEU-
TRAL, the propel ECM will not allow a shift until the propel lever has been cycled into
NEUTRAL.

11. The propel ECM monitors the parking brake switch, propel speed dial sensor, propel
lever sensor, brake pedal sensor, and engine speed sensor to determine if the machine
should be stopped. Name the condition (for each of these input devices) which indicates
to the propel ECM that the machine should be stopped.

Refer to Slide 55. Conditions which indicate that the machine should be stopped
include: parking brake switch ON, propel speed sensor at MINIMUM speed, propel
speed lever in NEUTRAL, service brake pedal fully depressed, and/or engine speed
sensor registering zero rpm.

12. When the parking brake switch is ON, what is the condition of the pave and travel
solenoids?

Refer to Slide 55. Both of the solenoids are de-energized.

13. Will the engine start if the propel lever is not in NEUTRAL when the start attempt is
made?

64
 Refer to Slide 56. The engine will start, but the neutral-start logic of the propel ECM
prevents the machine from moving until the propel lever has been moved into and out
of NEUTRAL.

14. Name the components which are energized when the propel override switches are in
FORWARD.

Refer to Slide 59. When the propel override switch is in the FORWARD position, the
forward EDCs and the pave solenoid are energized.

15. What is the purpose of the resistors in the circuits between the propel override switch-
es and the propel EDCs?

Refer to Slide 59. The resistors in the circuits to the propel EDCs protect the EDC coils
from overvoltage and limit the travel speed when the propel override switch is used.

16. What determines the position of the pressure control pilot valve in the propel pump?

Refer to Slides 61 and 63. The position of the pressure control pilot valve is determined
by the duty cycle of the signal that is sent from the propel ECM. The propel ECM ana-
lyzes the input signals to determine the magnitude of the output signal which is sent
to the pressure control pilot valve.

17. Describe the function and operation of the flushing valve in the propel motor.

Refer to Slide 61 and 66. The flushing valve removes a small amount of oil from the
low-pressure side of each propel circuit. The oil which is removed from the low-pressure
circuits flows into the motor case drain line to cool and clean the propel circuit.
Forward circuit oil acts against one side of the flushing valve, and reverse circuit pres-
sure acts against the other. When the machine is traveling forward, the forward circuit
pressure is greater than the reverse circuit pressure. Since reverse circuit oil is at a
lower pressure than forward circuit oil, the check valve in the motor remains seated,
and forward circuit oil causes the flushing valve to shift. This shift allows oil from the
reverse circuit to act on the flushing relief valve. When the pressure acting against the
flushing valve is greater than 2208 kPa (320 psi), the flushing relief valve opens,
directing a maximum of 14 Lpm (3.7 U.S. gpm) of oil from the reverse circuit into the
motor case drain line.

18. Three out of the four functions of the propel pump multifunction valves are used on the
AP-1055B. Name the three which are used and the one that is not used.

Refer to Slides 42, 64, and 65. The multifunction valves act as charge system check
valves, high-pressure relief valves, and system pressure limiters. The system bypass

65
function of the multifunction valves is available but not needed on the AP-1055B.

Refer to Slide 69. The auxiliary hydraulic pump is located in the pump compartment,
on the right side of the machine.

3. Describe the location of the cylinder supply manifold, and list three components to
which the manifold supplies oil.

Refer to Slide 70. The cylinder supply manifold is located behind the left access door in
the hopper. This manifold distributes supply oil from the auxiliary pump to the follow-
ing components in the auxiliary hydraulic system: the right tow point and hopper hoist
valves in the right control manifold; the left tow point and truck hitch valves in the left
control manifold; the screed and auger hoist valves, and the screed extender valves;
and the ventilation system.

ply pressure is located on the right control manifold. The right control manifold is
mounted to the front wall of the pump compartment, on the right side of the machine.

5. Is a hand metering unit used to control steering or does the ECM use a pulse-width-
modulated steering sensor to control steering?

The ECM uses a pulse-width-modulated steering sensor to control steering.

67
 ward force that the screed exerts on the asphalt mat when the screed hoist switch is in
FLOAT.

8. Where can the pressure in the lines to the rod ends of the screed hoist cylinders be
measured?

Refer to Slide 74. The pressure in the lines to the rod ends of the screed hoist cylinders
can be measured at the pressure gauge which is located to the right of the screed coun-
terbalance valve. The pressure test button must be depressed while the counterbalance
solenoids are energized.

9. Use the AP-1055B lift circuit schematic to trace power flow from the main power relay
to the screed counterbalance solenoids when the screed hoist switch is in FLOAT and
the screed counterbalance switch is ON.

Refer to Slide 78. Power transfers from the main power relay to the lift circuit breaker.
From the lift circuit breaker, power transfers to contact 2 of the screed hoist switch.
When the screed hoist switch is in FLOAT, contacts 2 and 3 of the switch are closed,
and power transfers to contact 2 of the screed counterbalance switch through the P803-
BU wire. If the screed counterbalance switch is ON, the P840-PK wire transfers power
to the screed counterbalance solenoids, and the solenoids energize.

10. Are the left tow point jog switches wired in series or parallel? (Circle the correct
response.)

Refer to Slide 79. The left tow point jog switches are wired in parallel.

11. Describe a situation in which the right extender IN and right extender OUT solenoids
could be energized at the same time.

Refer to Slide 80. A short to power on both solenoids could energize the solenoids at the
same time. Also, since the screed width switches are wired in parallel, if one switch is
in the EXTEND position while another is in the RETRACT position, both solenoids
would be energized.

12. Use the AP-1055B screed control hydraulic schematic to describe the system operation
when the screed hoist switch is in FLOAT and the screed counterbalance switch is ON.
