Apply asphalt material to existing surface using a scrub broom to force the asphalt material into the cracks and pores, followed by an application of cover material. Application of Asphalt Material. Using a distributor (see subsection 155.2), uniformly apply asphalt material at the rate shown in the Contract Documents. Equip and operate the distributor to prevent asphalt material from dripping on the pavement. At the beginning and end of each spread, use a strip of building paper, approximately 3 feet in width and 1 foot longer than the spray bar unless directed otherwise by the Engineer. Remove and dispose of the paper in a satisfactory manner. Correct any skipped areas or deficiencies. Construct junctions (joints) of spreads to obtain a smooth riding surface. Do not spread more asphalt material than can be immediately covered. Regulate the distribution of the asphalt material to obtain a uniform application. Do not allow the distributor to "blow". Frequently check and adjust the angle of the spray nozzles and the height of the spray bar to obtain uniform distribution. If the spray bar rises as the load is removed, contributing to drilling and streaking, modify the distributor to maintain a constant spray bar height. Immediately stop distribution should any nozzle malfunction. Correct any deficiency before distribution is resumed.
