MAINTENANCE
After each use, ensure the roller screed is cleaned and stored carefully. Find a secure storage location for the roller tube
which will prevent any objects from falling on, or damaging it.
After every three to four uses, lubricate the lag end cap through the grease fitting using a standard lever-action grease gun.
After each use, blow pressurized air into the motor enclosure to ensure there is no debris buildup that could potentially
compromise the usage of the motor.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the roller screed is not spinning or functioning properly, refer to the following guide to diagnose and resolve your issue.
• Check to see if the power is connected – to both the roller screed motor and the source.
• Disconnect the power source and check if the motor shank is tightly connected to the chuck. If tightening is required, use
the included chuck key to fully tighten the chuck to the motor shank.
• Disconnect the power source and check if the end plugs are fully tightened. Tighten them if required.
• Ensure the motor speed is set at the manufacturer default slow speed (300 RPM), and that it has not been shifted into
the high speed (1200 RPM). High speed will not result in better performance and may overheat the motor.
• Refer to the motor manufacturer’s manual for additional troubleshooting in regards to the specific device.
• If the roller screed is operating with two motor heads, ensure the heads are toggled to spin opposite directions. If both
motor heads are set to spin in the same direction, the roller screed will not function properly.
