Abstract
A control station for a road paver with a step device for providing a standing area for a person comprises a support part that is adapted to be firmly linked to a chassis or a paving screed of the road paver, and a step part with a step surface. The step part is attached to the support part such that the step part is tiltable about a main tilt axis between a transport position and an operating position, wherein the step surface is aligned generally horizontally in the operating position so that the standing area for the person is provided. The control station further includes a locking unit with an engagement element configured to engage the step part when the step part is in the operating position to secure the position of the step part, wherein the engagement element is pre-loaded for a movement into engagement with the step part.
