Operation
1
Operating principal
An eccentric weight mounted on the exciter shaft contained within the vibration housing is
driven at high speed by a clutch drive system. This high speed shaft revolution causes the
rapid vibratory motion of the blade as well as imparting a forward motion.
The screed is designed to run at an engine speed (engine take off shaft) of 3600 rpm.
(normally considered full throttle).
Running the engine at lower rpm’s will result in a decrease
of consolidation force and lower travel speed. It will create excessive “out-of-synch”
vibrations resulting in poor consolidation, maneuverability, excessive wear to the machine,
and discomfort to the operator.

Starting procedure: warm climate
Open fuel valve on gas tank. Set throttle lever to “Fast” idle position, set choke to closed
position, start engine. Open choke slightly to prevent flooding. Move to “Open” or “Run”
position when engine is warm, increase throttle to maximum operation position (3600 rpm).
3
Starting procedure: cold climate
Follow same procedure as above but allow longer warm-up period
– 3 to 5 minutes. In cold
weather, oil is much heavier to move and requires more time to work its way into the moving
parts. If maximum power is not attained, allow further warm-up time. Fill fuel tank with clean
gasoline, use safety approved gas containers. DO NOT MIX OIL WITH GASOLINE
– USE
UNLEADED GAS ONLY.

Stopping procedure
Throttle engine down.
Depress or turn off stop switch
