LOADING AND UNLOADING PROCEDURES
The best way to transport the screed is on a dedicated trailer. Of course, before you use any trailer for
this purpose, you should check to see whether the one you’re considering is up to the task. At the very
least, it must have sturdy ramps and a load rating that is more than adequate for the screed’s weight
and size.
To load the screed, start by setting the parking brake on your vehicle and chock the wheels of the trailer.
Then lower the drive-on ramp and check to make sure that it is securely attached.
Next, using the engine power of the screed, drive the machine up onto the trailer.
Then, secure the screed by threading nylon straps through the machine and cinching the straps up
tight.
We recommends that you transport the screed with the screed head attached. However, in some cases,
that may not be feasible, in which case you must remove the screed head from the machine before
loading. If this is necessary, start by setting the kickstand on the machine so that it doesn’t fall over
backwards when you remove the screed head. Then disconnect the quick release hydraulic fittings and
do the same for the two quick release electrical fittings. Finally, pull out the retaining clips on the two
large cotter pins which hold the screed head to the tie rod and the lift arm. The screed head is now free
and can be set aside.
Once the screed head has been detached from the machine it should be tied down to the trailer with
nylon straps as well. Be careful not to tighten the straps more than necessary - too much downward
pressure can damage the vibrator float or the plow.
Secure the screed to a trailer with the tie down straps available from our local agent.
