Page 33 - QR CIMAR LASER SCREED

PLANNING & PREPARATION

Planning and preparation is the key to every successful job and, generally speaking, it all begins the
day before you’re scheduled to screed.

Fist of all, you should familiarize yourself with the job site itself.
 Is the job site open or cluttered with stub ups etc.
 Will you be working under a roof or outside?
 What’s the weather forecast?
 What’s the mix design?
 Will there be an accelerator in the concrete?
 How many yards per hour will be poured?
 Which head should be used?
 Which tire package should be used (Hi-Float or Standard).

NOTE: Consult structural engineer before using screed on any job site.

Also, you need to make sure that you and the screed are ready to go to work and to continue working
without unnecessary interruptions.

 Charge all rechargeable batteries, especially your laser transmitter’s battery and bring spare
batteries for any equipment that uses them, like the hand-held receiver. Remember, without a
backup plan, one dead battery in a piece of equipment can put you out of work in the middle of a
job.

 Fuel the machine and make sure you have sufficient extra gas to complete the job.
 Make sure you’ve packed everything you need:

1) Your laser transmitter and a tripod or a column clamp.
2) The screed Grade Rod.
3) A tachometer.
4) A set of general tools.
5) A spare tire.
6) A scrub brush for cleaning the screed
7) Your hard hat, safety glasses, rain gear, and rubber boots.
8) This Operator’s manual.
9) A fire extinguisher.
10) Ear plugs.
11) Spare parts kit.
12) Lift harness if applicable to jobsite.
13) Form oil.
