Operation
1.
Once the engine has started and warmed up, open the throttle fully in the direction of the arrow to op-
erate the screed.
2.
Slowly move the screed backwards watching for smooth concrete in front of the screed.
Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine normally:
1.
Reduce the engine speed by moving throttle completely in the opposite direction of the arrow and let the
engine idle for 2 - 3 minutes before turning it off.
2.
Press the emergency stop switch on the handle.
Please see the instruction manual of engine for further detailed information.
Cleanup
Clean the screed and screed board. Clean the screed and screed board with water to remove all
concrete but take care that the engine does not get wet. The screed board can be thinly coated with
diesel fuel to help prevent rust and more easily remove concrete.
Clean the engine cylinder cooling fins. A broom or old brush are good tools to remove concrete be-
fore it becomes solid.
Refer to the engine manual for more information about the engine.
Storage
In case of storing the screed and board for a long period of time (for more than 30 days):
1)
Clean the screed as described above.
2)
Remove the board from the screed as described in this manual.
3)
Drain the fuel tank and run the engine briefly until the fuel in the fuel in the carburetor is com-
pletely consumed
4)
Change the engine oil and follow procedures described in engine manual for engine storage.
5)
Clean or replace the engine air filter.
6)
Store the Screed and board separately in a clean, dry area.
7)
Cover the screed and board completely with dry cloth.
In an emergency situation, turn off the engine switch immediately. In normal conditions, do not stop
the engine when the screed is at high speed or the engine temperature will rise suddenly, possibly
causing engine parts to jam or the oil to deteriorate.
Read and understand both the engine and compactor user’s manuals before starting or operating the compactor
to avoid incorrect operation that may result in damage or injury.
Note: Whenever high speed operation is NOT required, slow the engine by moving the throttle lever to a low
position to save fuel and extend the life of the equipment.
Note: To stop the engine in an emergency, simply press the Emergency Stop Switch on the handle.
