will not set up or need to be troweled.
2. Make sure the Power Switch (14) is in its “OFF” position (See Figure E).
3. Make sure the following parts are properly attached to the machine and adjusted:
a. The Rear Wheel Brackets (28) (See Figure E).
b. The desired Slip Form (1A, 1B, 1C) (See Figure 1).
c. The Compaction Ram (64) (See exploded diagram).
4. Plug the Power Cord (19) into an appropriate electrical outlet.
5. Turn the Power Switch (14) to its “ON” position. Then, check to make sure the Compaction
Ram (64) is moving back and forth in the bottom of the Hopper without scraping or binding
on either edge. By pulling the Shield (12) out of the Hopper, you can observe the inner
workings of the machine and make any necessary adjustments.
WARNING:
ALWAYS turn the Power Switch (14) to its “OFF” position and unplug the curb
machine from its electrical outlet prior to making any adjustments inside the Motor and Gear Box
compartment (See Figure E, and exploded diagram).
6. To produce curbing, the Front Pneumatic Tire (9) should be installed upside down or
removed, leaving the front of the Slip Form (1A, 1B, 1C) on the ground (See Figure E).
7. Adjust the two Rear Wheel Brackets (28) so that the front of the Slip Form (1A, 1B, 1C) is on
the ground and the back of the Slip Form is raised about 1/4 inch above the ground (See
Figure E).
8. As a test, use slightly wet sand and shovel one shovel-full at a time into the Hopper. When
the sand starts to come out of the Slip Form (1A, 1B, 1C), place your foot in front of the
sand to force compaction. The curb machine will now start to propel itself as the sand
becomes compacted and starts to extrude a temporary curb.
9. When finished with the experiment, make sure to turn the Power Switch (14) to its “OFF”
position and unplug the machine from its electrical outlet (See Figure E.)
OPERATION
WARNING:
Avoid accidental cuts. Keep hands and fingers away from the Hopper and
Chute areas of the curb machine.
1. Make sure the Power Switch (14) is in its “OFF” position (See Figure E).
2. Wheel the curb machine to the starting point, and install the Front Pneumatic Tire (9) upside
down or remove (See Figure E).
3. Place the front end of the Slip Form (1A, 1B, 1C) on the prepared ground where you desire
the curb to begin (See Figure E).
4. Move the Rear Pneumatic Tires (9) so that the left Tire is in the trench (See Figure E).
5. Adjust the Wheel Brackets (28) so that the curb machine is level and the Slip Form (1A, 1B,
1C) is at the proper height. The front of the Slip Form should be on the ground and the rear
approximately 1/4 inch above the ground (See Figure E.)
6. Plug the Power Cord (19) into an appropriate electrical outlet.
7. Turn on the curb machine, and feed the concrete mix by shovel into the Hopper. Do not
allow the mix to stack up in the Hopper. The curb machine will propel itself against the
concrete and will stop when the Hopper is empty.
8. The operator should be aware of the following:
a. That he steers the curb machine where it should be going. He can see the inside of the
Slip Form (1A, 1B, 1C) through the small window above the Motor and Gear Box.
