1.12.3. Battery and Toolbox Storage Compartments

TM 5-3895-373-20 1.12.3. Battery and Toolbox Storage Compartments. The battery and tool storage compartments are just behind and below the valve panel. Paving machine components found in the compartment are as follows: a. Batteries and Voltage Transformer. The paving machine uses two maintenance free 12 VDC storage batteries connected in series. Each battery is housed in a separate battery box. The battery charging circuit is routed through a voltage transformer which regulates voltage to operate both paving machine 12 VDC and 24 VDC electrical systems. A start relay, induction heater relay, and field relay are mounted next to the voltage transformer. b. Toolbox. The removable toolbox contains the tools needed by the paving machine crew to change paving widths. A grease gun is included in the toolbox for completing the daily lubrication requirements. c. Screed Burner Fuel Pump Assembly and Filter. The screed burner fuel pump assembly is mounted under the toolbox. The fuel filter is mounted on the engine compartment bulkhead. The fuel filter removes particulates from the fuel supply before they can reach the screed burner fuel pump assembly. The fuel pump assembly includes a 12 VDC motor, flexible coupling, and replaceable pump. The pump output is routed to the screed burner fuel lines. The screed burner fuel pump assembly is turned on and off at the left hand screed control panel. 1-8
