1.4 Transportation Safety (cont’d) SECTION 1 SAFETY ● Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer “gross vehicle weight rating.” ● ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. Never tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains, etc.
2.1 General Information SECTION 2 OPERATIONS The RS Series Roller Screeds are self-propelled and are hydraulically driven and require only one op- erator, two laborers and two concrete placers. The screed is expandable from 14 ft. (4.26 m) to 34 ft. (10.36 m).
Page 29
The power unit is powered by Kubota diesel engines, a 32HP on the RS832 and a 44 HP on the RS844. Coupled to the diesel engine is a hydraulic drive pump which provides the hydraulic pressure neces- sary to rotate the drive and paving tubes.
Page 30
2.1 General Information (continued) SECTION 2 OPERATIONS Wood forms are not a preferred method of screed support. Because of the concentrated bearing loads by the screed, wood is not a good support material. Nominal 2 X 1-1/2 No. 2 Douglas Fir is calculated to support a maximum of 1000 lbs.

2.1 General Information (continued) SECTION 2 OPERATIONS This equipment was designed with user safety in mind; however it can present hazards if improperly operated or misused. The application of this roller screed is to strike off the surface of the concrete at a predetermined grade. This equipment is to be used only for its intended application and for no other purpose.
2.2 Operational Control (continued) SECTION 2 OPERATIONS The definitions below describe the controls and functions of the Roller Screed. 1. Operators Seat — Provides an unobstructed view of the work area. Seat is adjustable. 2. Control Panel — Contains all operating controls. 3.
Page 35
2.2 Operational Control (continued) SECTION 2 OPERATIONS 17. Paving Tube Adjustment — Located on the frame ends. Required for the adjustment of paving tube. 18. Pull Handle — When maneuvering of the screed is required for small distances, insert the hooks on the pull handle into to the wheel pins, then pull on handle to move screed to desired location.
2.3 Before Starting SECTION 2 OPERATIONS The following instructions are intended as a basic guide for machine start-up and operation. Following these instructions will help preserve and maintain the life of this equipment. Fuel Check DO NOT smoke while refuling, diesel fuel is highly flammable and can be dangerous if mishandled. 1.
2.4 Starting SECTION 2 OPERATIONS 1. On the power unit place the operation valve lever in the screed position 2. Sit down in operator’s seat. 3. Place the two drive tube directional control levers in the middle position. 4. Place the drive tube speed control lever in the OFF position. 5.
2.5 Operating SECTION 2 OPERATIONS 1. Fully engage the operator end directional drive tube control levers in the forward direction. 2. Move the drive tube speed control lever slightly forward(a few rpm’s) and verify that both drive tubes rotate. 3. Fully engage the operator end directional drive tube control lever in the reverse (pull back) direction.
3.1 General Maintenance SECTION 3 SERVICE When performing maintenance on the roller screed or engine, follow all safety messages and rules for safe operation stated at the beginning of this manual. See the engine manual supplied with your machine for appropriate engine maintenance schedule and troubleshooting guide for problems.
Page 41
3.2 Air Cleaner SECTION 3 SERVICE This machine is equipped with a replaceable, high-density paper air cleaner element. Check the air cleaner daily or before starting the engine. Check for and correct heavy buildup of dirt and debris along with loose or damaged components. 1.
3.3 Engine Oil and Oil Filter SECTION 3 SERVICE 1. Change the engine oil and filter after the first 5 hours of use, then change oil every 6 months or 150 hours. 2. Remove the oil filler cap and fill engine crankcase with recommended type oil as listed in the table below.
Page 43
3.4 Engine Fuel Filter SECTION 3 SERVICE 70000-43081 Replace the engine fuel filter every 800 hours. Refer to your engine manual for specific details to perform this operation. Check the oil and fuel lines and connections regularly for leaks or damage. Repair or replace as necessary.
3.5 Battery and Charging System SECTION 3 SERVICE Mishandling of the battery shortens its service life and adds to maintenance cost. 1. Check and clean battery terminals for corrosion often. 2. Check the battery regularly and make sure that each electrolyte level is to the bottom of the vent well.
3.6 Bearing Lubrication SECTION 3 SERVICE Paving tube and drive tube bearings require lubrication daily. Lubricate all bearing grease fittings with EP3 grease or equivalent. Failure to lubricate bearing grease fittings daily will cause rotation of drive and paving tubes to stiffen. To prevent contamination of the bear- ing, always insert cap onto zerk fitting.
3.7 Hydraulic System SECTION 3 SERVICE The hydraulic system consists of a hydraulic pump directly coupled to the engine. Hydraulic oil is filtered by a screen filter located in the tank filler neck, a return filter that is located on top of the hydraulic tank, and a suction filter that screws in to the bottom of the hydraulic tank.
3.8 Hydraulic System Filters SECTION 3 SERVICE 1. Place the machine on a clean flat work area. 2. Remove the hydraulic oil drain plug and drain the hydraulic oil. Dispose of the used oil in an environmentally friendly manner. Replace the drain plug and tighten. 3.
Factory Service Information SECTION 4 PARTS This section contains the illustrated drawings and parts list for help in identifying and/or ordering re- placement parts for your machine.
