Page 30 - QR CIMAR LASER SCREED

Unloading the screed is simply the reverse of the loading procedure.
First, remove the straps holding the screed to the trailer’s bed. Of course, if the screed head has been
detached, then it should be removed from the trailer first and set aside.
If the screed head needs to be reattached, start by positioning the screed head at the front of the
machine. Then bring the attachment couplings for the lift arm and the turnbuckle together, insert the
cotter pins, and replace the retaining clips. Finally, reattach the electrical and hydraulic connectors.
Now, before you move the machine to the placement area, check the route you plan to take and make
sure that it is free of obstacles that could damage the machine. The screed head in particular is a
precision device and in some cases may have to be removed in order to get it safely onto the job site.
And, remember, with the screed head removed, the screed will be back heavy. Lower the Hydraulic
Kickstand to maneuver the screed around the job site.
With the route planned and an assistant standing by, you can now move the machine. Here’s the
procedure for getting under way.
1) Increase the engine speed by pulling the Throttle Lever toward the rear of the machine.
2) Push down on the handle bars to lift the head up off the ground.
3) Set the Propel switch to drive forward.
4) Push down on the Operator Presence Switch.
5) Rotate the Drive Speed Control toward the operator.
When you’re maneuvering the screed around the work site, set the screed head as high as possible by
activating the Head Lift switch and be on the lookout for obstructions. Keep in mind that the screed
head is substantially wider than the machine itself and is only supported at two points by the Head Lift.
So, if you run into something with the screed head, even at low speed, it’s very likely that damage to the
machine will result.
