QUALITY ASSURANCE/ MACHINE BREAK IN
The Morrison Uni-screed is the product of extensive engineering development designed
to give long life and unmatched performance. You can help ensure that your Uni-screed will
perform at top levels by observing a simple routing on first use. Consider that your new Uni-
screed is like a new car. Just as you would break in a new car to the road or any new machine
to the job, you should start gradually and build up to full use. Learn what your machine can do
and how it will respond. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for run-in times. Full throttle
and control may be used after this time period, as allowed by material. This will serve to further
break in the machine on your specific application, as well as provide you with additional
practice using the machine.
We thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing a Morrison Uni-
screed and wish you many years of satisfied use.

UNISCREED INFORMATION
GENERAL HEALTH AND SAFETY TIPS
•Do not use the Morrison Uni-screed, fitted with a gasoline engine, indoors or in poorly
ventilated areas. Ensure there is sufficient ventilation to avoid inhaling exhaust gasses,
as they may be harmful.
•Avoid touching the electrical cables or spark plug cap while the engine is running to
avoid electric shock.
•Check the fuel tank and lines for leaks before starting engine.
•Wear appropriate personal protective equipment while operating the Morrison Uni-
screed.
•Protective footwear, safety glasses, hearing protection, padded gloves, and a dust mask
are highly recommended.
•Wear work gloves and safety glasses while refueling the Morrison Uni-screed.
•Ensure sufficient ventilation during refueling to avoid a build-up of dangerous fumes.
•Refuel the Morrison Uni-screed only after the engine has cooled after use.
•Avoid smoking or open ignition sources such as furnaces, welders or torches during
refueling.
•Avoid contact of limbs with the vibrating blade or base unit during operation. Use only
the handles to control the Morrison Uni-screed.
•Some vibration in the control handles during operation is normal. Take appropriate
measures dictated by your workplace regulations to minimize health effects of vibration
exposure.
•Regular maintenance and inspection of the Morrison Uni-screed can prevent injuries
caused by worn-out or damaged equipment and will extend the useful life of your unit.
•Carry the Morrison Uni-screed by the carry handle, lifting carefully to avoid back injury.
•NEVER carry the Morrison Uni-screed while the engine is running.
•Always avoid direct skin contact with fresh concrete.

OIPB –B19040
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Due to the nature and environment of use, the Uni-screed is exposed to severe operating
conditions.
•Some general maintenance guidelines will extend the useful life of your trowel.
•It is highly recommended that all maintenance and repairs are carried out by approved
Bartell Morrison dealers.
•Always use genuine Bartell Morrison replacement parts; use of foreign parts may void
your warranty and result in injury or damage to property.
•Refer to your engine manual for details of engine cleaning, maintenance, and your
engine’s warranty coverage.
•Clean concrete, dust, and residue from the blade and base unit daily. Failure to do so
will result in decreased performance and premature failure.
•The blade and lower base unit (i.e. below the engine) can be cleaned with a water
sprayer.
•Avoid getting water inside the engine housing or into the on/off switch on the handle.
•Clean the engine ventilation openings using a brush or damp cloth. Dirt, grease, or
concrete entering the ventilation openings will reduce engine cooling, leading to
premature engine wear and failure. Refer to your engine manual for more information.
•Inspect the Morrison Uni-screed at the end of each working day for signs of wear or
damage.
•Store the Morrison Uni-screed in a clean, dry, and dust free place.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
INITIAL SETUP OF THE UNI-SCREED
Upon removing the Morrison Uni-screed from its box for the first time, you will find the
base unit with the handles removed. The left handle is detached in the box, while the right
handle is attached to the base unit by its electrical cable and throttle control cable. The throttle
cable is not connected to the throttle lever or engine to avoid damage to the cable, lever or
engine during shipping.
Set up the handles using the clamps and hex key provided. Set the length and rotation to suit
the operator. Then to set up the throttle cable, follow the steps
below:
•Squeeze throttle lever open to expose the throttle cable
carrier
•Place the ball of the cable in the carrier (Fig #1) and line
the cable through the slot in the carrier, housing, barrel
and barrel locking nut
•Release the lever and turn the barrel and locking nut so
the slots do not align, and lock the barrel in place with the
locking nut
•Open the Honda engine air filter cover by gently
squeezing the clip on the front of the black filter housing
and remove the cover
•Pull the throttle cable over to the
engine throttle wheel.
•Rotate the silver throttle wheel so
that the larger hole is pointing toward
the top of the engine.
•Slide the stainless-steel throttle cable through the slot in the silver
throttle wheel. Make sure the throttle cable nipple is above the silver
throttle wheel.
•Pull throttle cable down to slide nipple into the larger hole in the
throttle wheel
•Place the threaded fitting of the throttle cable conduit into the clamp
below the throttle wheel. With a washer on either side
•Tighten the nuts of the threaded fitting onto the clamp to lock the
conduit in place. Adjust the tension and length of the throttle cable by
moving these nuts
•With the throttle grip at the end of the right operator handle
released, the throttle wheel on the Honda engine should be at the
zero position.
•After verifying the operation of the throttle cable by squeezing the
throttle grip a few times, replace the air filter cover on the Honda
engine. Your Morrison Uni-screed is now ready to use!

OPERATION OF THE UNISCREED
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
An eccentric weight mounted on the exciter shaft contained within the vibration housing
is driven at high speed by a clutch drive system. This high-speed shaft revolution causes the
rapid vibratory motion of the blade as well as imparting a forward motion. The Morrison Uni-
screed is designed to run at an engine speed (engine take off shaft) of 3600 rpm. (Normally
considered full throttle). Running the engine at lower rpm’s will result in a decrease of
consolidation force and lower travel speed. It will create excessive “out-of-synch” vibrations
resulting in poor consolidation, maneuverability, excessive wear to the machine, and discomfort
to the operator.
STARTING PROCEDURE: WARM CLIMATE
Open fuel valve on gas tank. Set throttle lever to “Fast” idle position, set choke to closed
position, start engine. Open choke slightly to prevent flooding. Move to “Open” or “Run” position
when engine is warm, increase throttle to maximum operation position (3600 rpm).
STARTING PROCEDURE: COLD CLIMATE
Follow same procedure as above but allow longer warm-up period –3 to 5 minutes. In
cold weather, oil is much heavier to move and requires more time to work its way into the
moving parts. If maximum power is not attained, allow further warm-up time. Fill fuel tank with
clean gasoline, use safety approved gas containers. DO NOT MIX OIL WITH GASOLINE –
USE UNLEADED GAS ONLY.
STOPPING PROCEDURE
1. Throttle engine down.
2. Depress or turn off stop switch.
OPERATION
1. On level surfaces the Uni-screed moves forward or backward rapidly, depending on the tilt of
the handle. On uneven surfaces or inclines, light forward pressure on handle may be required
to assist the Uni-screed in moving. Lean the handle up or away from you to make the Uni-
screed travel toward you (i.e. forward). Lean the handle down or toward you to make the Uni-
screed travel away from you (i.e. backward).
2. ALWAYS OPERATE THE MACHINE AT FULL THROTTLE. If excessive vibration is felt
through the handle, do not operate until the engine is checked and set at its maximum running
speed of 3600 rpm.
3. The handle has four (4) adjustment clamps to allow the operator to use the Uni-screed more
comfortably. Ensure that the screws of all the clamps are tightened to securely hold the handle
sections rigidly. A loose clamp will cause that section to rotate and/or slide away from the
desired position.
LUBRICATION- ENGINE OIL- Always check engine oil before starting and at regular intervals
thereafter. Use proper engine oil as recommended. Keep engine oil clean, change accordingly.
Fill crankcase to levels as recommended in manufacturer’s engine manual.
