1. A coating applicator vehicle configured to selectively discharge a flow of pavement coating material onto a roadway, where the material includes a liquid emulsion and aggregate, said coating applicator vehicle comprising:
a rolling chassis presenting a perimeter margin, with the margin located adjacent the roadway when the rolling chassis is advanced on the roadway along a forward direction; and a powered spraying assembly supported by the rolling chassis and extending transversely to the forward direction to selectively discharge coating material along a lateral direction, said spraying assembly including a strainer enclosure and a strainer basket, said strainer enclosure presenting a passage that removably receives the strainer basket and an enclosure opening that permits insertion and removal of the strainer basket relative to the passage, said strainer basket including a mesh wall that presents a basket chamber and permits at least some of the coating material to flow therethrough, with the strainer basket being configured to strain the flow of coating material by receiving the flow of coating material in the basket chamber, said strainer enclosure and said strainer basket cooperatively defining a manifold axis along which the strainer basket is manually slidable into and out of the chamber, said manifold axis being angled upwardly from the lateral direction at an acute angle, with any coating material collected in the basket chamber being removable from the strainer enclosure with the strainer basket. |
