B.PUTTING INTO SERVICE
The purpose of the instructions section of this manual is to
explain the intended setup, use and maintenance procedures
recommended by Whiteman Industries.
Before packaging and shipment, this Whiteman Ride-on Roller
Screed was run and tested at the factory. If there are ANY
problems, please contact the Multiquip Service Department.
Make sure that all manuals and instructions are read carefully before putting your new Whiteman Roller Screed into
service. Improper setup, use or maintenance of this equipment could result in personnel injury or damage to the equipment. Listed in Figure 2, are the location of main parts
described in the next section.
The power unit comes completely assembled. However,
before operating the screed, the hydraulic strike tube motor
from the power unit must be bolted to the motor mount, which
comes with the screed, as shown in Figure 3. This takes
two bolts, ½ X 1-1/2.
IMPORTANT: If you change power units, leave the strike
tube motor mount with the roller screed for the next power
unit
.

D. ROLLER SCREED ASSEMBLY
2.Description
The WRS 5200 Ride-On Roller Screed is made up of truss
sections (Figure 4) which vary in length from 3 to 9 feet.
These truss sections support the 6 inch tubing (strike tube)
which runs along the front of the machine. This strike tube
comes in four different lengths, 8, 14, 16 and 18 feet. By
coordinating the truss section and strike tube lengths, various roller screed lengths can be assembled.
Table 2 shows the different combination of truss
sections and strike tube lengths to get the desired
roller screed length. Dimensions are in feet
* Actual concrete form width should be at least 2 foot less than screed length.
** Left side of Table I in the truss section represents the power unit end
It is important in the assembly of the roller screed to keep
truss sections on the appropriate side. To help with this,
each truss section is stamped with a letter and a number.
This stamping is located on the top pipe of each section.
For example, L14, would represent left or the power
unit end and combine this section (9 feet) with the
end section (5 feet), gives you 14 feet. This is the
strike tube length. The stamping on the 9 foot truss
section would be L14. Examples of the assembly for
different screed lengths are shown in Appendix C.
2.Assembly of the Roller Screed
To begin with, bolt together truss sections that match the
length of the strike tubes desired. Find the length of roller
screed wanted in the Appendix C and match the strike tubes
and truss sections. Use 1-1/2” long bolts where 2 joints
come together and 1-3/4” long bolts where 3 joints meet.
Don’t bolt truss sections from other strike tube lengths together yet.
As an example, the assembly of a 44’ roller screed is shown.
First check the Appendix C and find the length of screed
wanted. Lay the parts as shown in the drawing out in the
assembly area. Assemble the truss sections to match the
strike tube lengths. For this screed, the strike tube lengths
are 14’, 16’ and 14’. The following Figures, 4, 5 and 6, are
the truss sections assembled to match the strike tubes.
Task 1.
Assemble right, left and middle truss sections. See Figures
5, 6, and 7.
As an example, the assembly of a 44’ roller screed is shown.
First check the Appendix C and find the length of screed
wanted. Lay the parts as shown in the drawing out in the
assembly area. Assemble the truss sections to match the
strike tube lengths. For this screed, the strike tube lengths
are 14’, 16’ and 14’.
Take the middle bracket and insert the splined shaft of it into
the other end of the strike tube as shown in Figure 9. Slide
the middle bracket pins into the section just made.
Figure 7. Left Section 14 Feet
Task 2.
Once the assemblies mentioned above are finished, start
on one end, take the strike tube and insert it into the 1-3/8
bearing mounted on the outer plate as shown in Figure 8.
The 1-5/8 nut and jam nut should be turned in until they are
against the strike tube hub.
If another middle bracket is not required, go to the next paragraph. Two middle brackets are required for three strike tubes,
one for two strike tubes. If another middle bracket is required, insert the middle strike tube into the splined shaft of the
middle bracket mentioned above. Assemble the truss sections and middle bracket using the ½ X 1-3/4 bolts. Working your
way across, take the next middle bracket and insert the splined shaft into the middle strike tube as shown in Figure 9 & 10.
Figure 10. Middle Section
Task 5
Now go to the other end of the roller screed, take the strike
tube there and insert it into the second middle bracket’s
splined shaft. As you pull the last 14’ section (Figure 7) into
place, insert the end of the strike tube into the bearing as
you did in Figure 7. Use ½ x 1-3/4 bolts to bolt the two truss
sections and the middle bracket together.
Task 6.
Once the truss sections are together, string the four long
hydraulic hoses through the middle of the trusses. Two male
and two female quick connects are required at the other
end, one male and female of the 5/8” hose and the same for
the ½” hose.
Task 7.
Put the tarps on the appropriate section. The section of the
tarp where two nylon straps are close together should fit
over a truss joint. All tarps were made to full length per
section.
The tarp for the right section (13’11”) will have two places for
the truss joint. It will have a 4 foot section (which for this
set-up will be folded back under the next section of tarp) and
a 6 and 3 foot section
.
The middle tarp (16’) has a place for the truss joint right in
the middle.
The left tarp (13’5”) has one truss joint located 4 foot in from
the end. For this set-up, the 4 foot section will be folded
back under the 9 foot.
The buckles on the tarp should be on the back side (strike
tube is on front side) and the tarp drain hole on the bottom
when finished.
Task 8.
Two more items need to be added on the outside of the
tarps. These are the 50 foot electric cord and the pump
lever cable. Before buckling the tarp, put the cable and cord
behind enough buckles to hold them in place.
Task 9.
Adjust the 1-5/8” nuts on the strike tubes next to the outer
plates so the other end of the strike tube next to the middle
bracket is spaced from 1/16 to 1/8.”
Place the power unit on the appropriate end and the roller
screed is ready to use.
D.HANDLING
1.Moving the Machine
WARNING!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE SCREED
FROM THE MIDDLE SECTIONS.
Your Whiteman roller screed was designed to be moved
and handled in several ways. Casters that can be lowered
are provided to move the machine on and off forms and for
moving short distances. When using the casters and
moving short distances, the power unit may be left on the
roller screed.
⇒
When lifting the roller screed to load for transporting or
other purposes, the power unit should be taken off.
⇒
Care should be taken to lift the machine correctly. With
a fork lift, one end at a time can be lifted onto the transport. Lifting straps should be placed around the top pipe
in the 5’ end sections. Figure 10 illustrates the recommended lifting points.
⇒
Care should These lifting positions are the same for both
ends. Attach a lifting strap to one of these points. The
safety snap pins in the top turnbuckles of the truss sections are not designed to carry the weight of the machine during lifting. The top of the truss sections should
always be kept in compression. Lifting with straps or
forks from center sections may damage the machine or
bend these pins. Figure 11 shows lifting points A & B.
Lifting point “B” can be used with any screed length while
lifting point “A” should only be used for screed lengths
longer than 32 feet.
If lifting the roller screed is planned for transporting or other
reasons, some precautions should be followed.
WARNING!
NEVER TRANSPORT SCREED WITH
THE POWER UNIT ON THE MACHINE
