D. Operation of this equipment Use caution when operating near other people and obstructions. Always look to the rear before backing up and back up slowly. Never feed auger with a tool that could get caught in a turning auger and strike someone.
Lifting, Tie down, and Transportation Instructions All chains/straps must pull away from and to the front and rear as shown below. Do not lift Curbilder with forklift or damage to Curbilder and/or bystanders may result. A. To tie curber down to the trailer bed, etc (Note: empty curber weighs 209#) Empty hopper Chock all wheels Secure Curbilder to trailer bed using 4 chains or straps as follows:...
Curbilder Operating Instructions A. Preparing machine for operation Spray with water when extruding concrete curb. Position the Curbilder so that the curb form is in the proper location to begin extrusion. Adjust front wheel assembly horizontally to meet jobsite conditions. Remove rear wheel assembly so the discharge (rear) end of curb form touches the surface on which the curb will be laid.
C. General considerations Optimum compaction has been designed into the Curbilder and the curb form. Greater compaction will be obtained when the machine is operating uphill, or by raising the front wheel assemblies, transferring weight to the curb form. Lowering the front wheel assemblies decreases compaction by decreasing the weight carried on the curb form.

Mixing instructions: Divide the 94-lb. bag of cement equally into two (2) 5 gallon buckets. Start mortar mixer in accordance with manufacture’s instructions. Concrete mixers are not recommended for this dry application. Place two (2) buckets of sand into the mortar mixer. Place a small handful of fiber into mixer.

B. Custom curbforms can be made to meet specific needs. Curb forms must be specified as left-and or right-hand forms. To determine hand of required curb form: Consider curber (equipped with the desired curb form) to be in operation moving away from an observer at the rear of the machine (where the curb comes out) With an observer oriented this way in relation to the machine determine from the observer’s viewpoint on which side (left/right) the most vertical side of the curb is...

Compaction tube The compaction tube must be inspected regularly and kept clean and free of holes. For holes, steel patches can be welded on the inside of the compaction tube and ground smooth to maintain proper auger clearance. When the compaction tube is damaged or worn beyond repair, a new compaction tube should be purchased.

in a very short period of time. The worn auger end will look pointed like a corkscrew. At this point, the mix and/or the curb form need to be evaluated. HARD FACING INSTRUCTIONS Welding repair procedure: Two layers of weld for maximum wear. Weld as cold (Low Heat) as possible to prevent dilution of hard surfacing with base metal.
