General.
•
Are there suf cient personnel on the site to handle the machine?

Before use the screed should be coated with release oil before the pour.
On Site.
Check the forms
•
Are they stable?
•
Will they support the weight of the screed?
•
Have the form pins been driven below the top of the forms?
•
Can the screed pass from form to form without getting caught?
Columns & Walls
Screed size is important.
•
How will you go though the columns?
•
What do you do when you are up against a wall?
•
Do you use either: a) Wall bracket b) pipe rail c) form?
Concrete
•
Are there any mix characteristics or additives that affect the performance of the screed?
•
Will the supply of concrete be steady or intermittent?
•
Be aware of the importance of WEATHER in using the Pro Screed.
Work Force.
Instructions for the operators.
•
Two key people should be trained in the operation of the screed.
•
The screed is a nishing machine; there is a technique to its operation. The TRAVEL SPEED, VIBRATORY FREQUENCY, and
FEEDING of the screed MUST all be controlled!
•
Knowing how the winches operate before you start is essential.
•
To what do you hook the cables? And when do you move them?
•
Pay attention to safety with the cables.
•
Tools and replacement parts should always be readily available.
Instructions for the labourers.
•
When the screed is moving, 1 labourer per 1.5 to 3m of screed is required. This depends on slump of the concrete and travel
speed.
•
Use Square ended shovels or rakes to level the concrete in front of the screed.
•
Maintain approximately 25mm (1") surcharge on the front blade.
