OPERATOR’S

SECTION

OPERATOR’S SECTION

In the next few pages you will find the proper procedures for assembly and operation of your
screed. Please read and follow these instructions carefully to avoid damage to the screed or
possible injury due to improper assembly procedures!

SCREED ASSEMBLY

When shipped, the engine and the motor
mount kit are in two separate boxes. Upon
opening the boxes, you should find the follow­ing: The engine, clutch, clutch guard, engine
mounting plate and a bolt bag with the neces­sary mounting hardware.

Bolt the engine to the mounting plate. Using the
hardware supplied.

Install the clutch on the engine shaft so that the
pulley side is toward the back of the engine.

In the bolt bag you will find a 1/4"x1/4" key.
Align the slot in the clutch with the slot in the
engine and insert the key.

Page 24

SCREED ASSEMBLY

Secure the clutch onto the engine shaft using
the proper bolt, flat washer, and lock washer
provided.

The main section of the screed is the base unit,
with the drive belt and engine mounting
bracket attached. Slip the drive belt over the
clutch and bolt to the top of the base unit.

Attach the clutch guard to the engine mounting
plate, hand tighten nut.

Install the bolts, washers , and nuts through the
engine mounting plate, and connect the plate to
the screed. Do Not Tighten Bolts!

Page 25

SCREED ASSEMBLY

The belt can now be adjusted. The proper
tension is about 1/2" of give on the belt when
moderate pressure is applied to the center of
the belt. Tighten the engine mounting bolts.

Begin assembly of the screed sections by
removing the packing material. Remove the
hardware bag attached to each section carefully
so that you do not lose any of the hardware
inside.NOTE: Sections connect to the left-hand
end of the base unit, as you face the screed,
starting with the longest section and proceeding
to the shortest one. The only exception will be
that the right-hand self-propelled unit will bolt
to the right-hand end of the base section.

Position the clutch guard over the clutch tighten
the bolt.

Locate the 3/4" jam nut and install it onto the
right -hand threaded rod at the top of the screed.

Page 26

SCREED ASSEMBLY

The turnbuckle is the long octagon shaped piece
with a left-hand thread at one end and a right-hand
thread at the opposite end. Place it on the same
right-hand threaded rod as the jam nut, turning it
only about one to one and one half turns.

Bring the connecting holes into alignment with
each other. A drift pin may be helpful here to
align the holes for the bolts.

Position the section so that the turnbuckle is
aligned with the threaded rod at the top of the
section you are joining it with. As the turn­buckle is turned it will begin to draw the two
sections together.

Install the bolts with a flat washer from the
outside of the blades, and a lock washer on the
inside. After installing all four of the bolts,
tighten them securely.

27

SCREED ASSEMBLY

Align the shafts and connect them using the
hardware supplied.

Make sure that the key in the pulley is under
the pulley completely before tightening the set
screw.

When installing the self-propelled units, check the
alignment of the shaft pulley to the pump pulley.If
alignment is necessary, loosen the set screw, using
the allen wrench provided, and slide the shaft
pulley so that it aligns with the pump pulley.

Check the pulley and belt alignment, and make
sure that the key is fully inserted under the
pulley, tighten set screw.

Page 28

ADJUSTING SCREED

The adjustment of the screed for flatness will take several minutes. This should be done
prior to each use or for use in a crown or valley operation. Be certain that the screed is
adjusted properly and the jam nuts are tight before concrete placement begins

Once the length of screed you need is as­sembled, place a 2"x4" under each end, or set
the screed onto the forms you are using.

Use a guide placed beneath the blades to
determine where adjustment is needed. Begin
adjusting the turnbuckles along the top of the
screed to align the screed with the string.
Adjust the screed from the outside sections and
work toward the center. Tighten jam nuts.
NOTE: This will probably take several times to
get a perfectly flat machine.

Fasten a string to the form and draw it as tightly
as possible about 1" off the back of the screed.
Make sure that the string is not in contact with
the screed, or any other object that could cause
a variance.

After adjustments are made tighten jam nut
securely so that vibration from the screed does
not loosen it allowing movement during placing
of concrete.

Page 29

ADJUSTING SCREED

The screed can place concrete in a invert
situation of up to 1/4" per foot. Simply locate a
turnbuckle where you need the invert and use a
ruler and stringline to give you the proper
measurement. CAUTION: Remember to
tighten the jam nut.

To operate the self-propelled units, rotate the
drum clutch to a horizontal position to disen­gage it from the drum. Pull the cable out and
attach the hook to a stake or other secure
object, in line with the cable drum. Return
clutch to the original position.

The screed can be used to place concrete in a
crowned situation of up to 1/4" per foot, such as
street paving. Simply follow the same proce­dure as in the precious illustration. CAUTION:
Remember to tighten the jam nut securely after
making adjustments.

The speed of travel can be adjusted by turning
the needle valve located near the hydraulic tank.
Clockwise rotation will increase travel speed,
and counter-clockwise rotation will decrease
travel speed.

Page 30

ADJUSTING VIBRATIONS

The vibration of the screed is set at the factory at 12,000 vpm’s. Should it become necessary to
adjust the vibration, use the instructions below only after consulting your dealer or the factory.

If the screed is not finishing properly, pulling
or tearing the concrete, check the engine
speeds. The correct RPM setting is 3,450 to
3,600. If the engine RPM’s are correct, the
screed shaft can be adjusted, within reasonable
limits, to increase vibrations.

Place a 2x4 against the bend and strike the end
with a 6lb. to 8lb. hammer firmly.
NOTE: The shaft should never be bent over 1/8"
or damage to the screed may result. Use ex­treme caution when bending. Check the shaft
before operating the screed.

Rotate the screed shaft at the point between the
bearing housings where adjustment is needed.
You will notice a slight bend in the shaft. Turn
the shaft so that the bend is down or away from
you.

If the screed shaft bent too much you can lessen
the bend. Rotate the bend in the shaft towards
you and use a 2x4 as described in #3.

Page 31

INSTALLING HAND WINCH ASSEMBLY

The following instructions will provide complete information for installing the hand winch
assembly. Should you need further assistance, contact your dealer or the call factory direct.

Begin installation by removing the last two
bolts from the front and rear at one end of the
camber top from the section of screed that you
will be using.

On the front blade of the screed, remove the
bolts from from the angle brace and the cast
bearing housing and install the cable pulley
bracket, as shown.

Place the winch, crank lever out, onto the
camber top. Replace the bolts with the longer
ones supplied.

Connect the block pulley bracket to the front
blade of the screed. Replace the bolts with the
longer ones supplied.

Page 32

INSTALLING HAND WINCH ASSEMBLY

On the rear blade of the screed, remove the
bolt from the the cast bearing housing nearest
the end of the screed.

Bolt the brace to the rear of the screed blade
and the angle bracket using hardware provided.

In the package there is a long brace and a short
one. these two bolt together at the twisted end
of the long one.
NOTE: Standard Screed dose not require this
step.

Place the crank handle onto the rod and tighten
securely using the locking nut provided. The
installation is now complete!

Page 33

INSTALLING END ADAPTOR ASSEMBLY

The end adaptor installation should take only a few moments using the instructions on the
next two pages.

When your end adaptor arrives remove the
parts from the box and make sure that you
have everything you will need.

Slip the upright into position on the threaded
rod and the upright angles on the inside of the
screed blades.

Begin installation of the end adaptor assembly
by placing the proper jam nut onto the threaded
rod at the end of the screed. The threaded rod
will be left-hand or right-hand threads, depend­ing on which end of the screed you are working.
Both types of nuts are provided in the kit.

Bolt the upright angles into position using the
holes nearest the end of the screed blades.

Page 34

INSTALLING END ADAPTOR ASSEMBLY

Place a second jam nut on the outer side of the
upright. Check to be certain that the upright is
vertical before tightening the jam nuts.

Position the handle into the brackets and bolt
securely.

Install the rubber grips onto the end adaptor
handles, make certain that the grip section is
turned properly.

The last step in the end adaptor installation is to
position the skid plate at the height that is
needed and bolt into position.

OPERATING TIPS AND REMINDERS

1. Before operating this equipment, read all of the manuals provided.

2. Keep all guards and covers in good repair and installed in the proper places.

3. Always turn off engine before refueling.

4. Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from the screed shaft, drive belt, and engine clutch.

5. Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from the cable drums and the drive belt area of the hydraulic self-

propelled units.

6. Check the shaft connections each day to make sure that the bolts are secure. Replace any bolts that look worn!

7. Do not sit on the screed as this could cause deflection or possibly damage the unit.

8. The screed is designed to finish off concrete NOT to grade it! Keep excess concrete away from the screed

blades during the placing operation. Excessive amounts of concrete could cause deflection or damage to the
screed. Concrete should be low enough so that the top of the bolts along the screed blades can be seen.

9. Engine should be shut down whenever forward movement of the screed is stopped. Do not allow the engine to
idle for more than 2 minutes as damage to the clutch may occur.
