STEP 1
Sweep away loose debris or standing water from
repair and surrounding area. Remember, IR is not readily absorbed by light colored materials like
sand or snow.
|
 |
STEP 2
Light the chamber, and position it over the area
to be repaired. Be sure to allow at least 12" of heated area beyond the perimeter of
the repair.
|
 |
STEP 3
Allow heat to penetrate for 7-10 minutes. To
insure proper heating time, check the surface temperature of the asphalt at 7 min. and every
minute thereafter using an IR thermometer.
|
 |
STEP 4
Remove the heater, and rake softened asphalt.
|
 |
STEP 5
Spray a maltines rejuvenator onto the heated area.
This will replace some of the light oils that have oxidized out over time.
|
 |
STEP 6
Add fresh asphalt from the reclaimer and lute to correct grade.
|
 |
STEP 7
The repair is ready to be rolled.
|
 |
STEP 8
Compact the repair using a vibratory roller. Be
sure to roll the edges first to fuse the repaired area with the heated but untouched
surrounding pavement.
|
 |
STEP 9
Although the color is different, the finished
repair is now an integral part of the existing road. |
