Safety Information 1.2 P 35A Machine Description and Intended Use This machine is a vibratory concrete screed. The Wacker Neuson Wet Screed consists of a gasoline engine, a fuel tank, a metal blade, an eccentric weight positioned at the center of the metal blade, and a control handle. The gasoline engine spins the eccentric weight through a drive shaft, producing vibrations that travel the length of the metal blade. The operator uses the control handle to pull the machine across uncured concrete.

P 35A 4.2 Operation Preparing the Machine for First Use 1. Make sure all loose packaging materials have been removed from the machine. 2. Check the machine and its components for damage. If there is visible damage, do not operate the machine! Contact your Wacker Neuson dealer immediately for assistance. 3. Take inventory of all items included with the machine and verify that all loose components and fasteners are accounted for. 4.
Operation 4.4 P 35A Recommended Fuel The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh, clean gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage the fuel system. Consult the engine owner’s manual for complete fuel specifications. Use of oxygenated fuels Some conventional gasolines are blended with alcohol. These gasolines are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement.
P 35A 4.6 Operation Starting 1. Move the choke lever to the closed position (a1). Note: If engine is hot, set choke to open position (a2 ). 2. Turn engine switch to “ON”. 3. Press the priming bulb (b) repeatedly until fuel can be seen in the clear plastic fuel-return tube (c). 4. Pull the starter grip (d). 5. Open choke as engine warms (a2). 6. Open throttle to operate. c a1 a2 b d wc_gr010245 4.7 Stopping 1. Reduce engine RPM to idle. 2. Turn engine switch to “OFF”. wc_tx003253gb_FM10.
Operation 4.8 P 35A Operation Procedure Perform the procedure below to perform a typical screeding of concrete. 1. Establish wet pads for wet screed guidance. Place wet pads (a) in strips no less than 0.6m (2.0 ft) wide. b a c a b d wc_gr07996 Note: Hand tools such as magnesium floats are used in conjunction with a laser receiver, transit level, or grade stakes to establish the proper elevation of the pads. 2.
P 35A Operation Continued from the previous page. Note: Screeding MUST be complete before any excess moisture or bleed water is present on the surface, and before the strips have taken an initial set. 5. Start the engine and move the throttle forward one-half to three-quarters. This increases the engine speed to approximately 6000–7000 rpm which is appropriate for most screeding applications. 6. Pull the screed across the concrete to perform the strike-off.
Operation 4.9 P 35A Exciter Adjustment Overview Proper operation of the screed produces a creamy liquid around the blade during strike-off. If a creamy liquid does not form at the standard throttle range of one-half to three-quarters speed (6000–7000 rpm), or with slight speed increases, then adjust the exciter. Procedure Perform the procedure below to adjust the exciter. 1. Remove the 4 screws (a) mounting the blade to the power unit. c d c a b e wc_gr007997 1 2 + – 3 wc_gr007998 2.
P 35A 4.10 Operation Adjusting the Handle Height For maximum comfort and user control of the wet screed during operation, the handlebar (a) can be rotated up or down to suit the operator’s preference. Loosen the screws (b) and raise or lower the handlebar as desired. Tighten the screws when the handles are in the desired position. a b wc_gr008022 4.11 Kickstand The kickstand (a) props up the screed when it is not in use. a wc_gr008023 4.
