1 INTRODUCTION
This manual has been written to help you operate and service the DuoScreed safely.
This manual is intended for dealers and operators of the DuoScreed.
1.1 WHAT IS A DUOSCREED ?
The DuoScreed uses a unique reversible blade design which can be used for standard form-
to form screeding or wet screeding. It is supplied in 2 components: the blade profile and the
power unit. The power-unit consists of a twin handle between which the petrol engine is
located. The engine drives, by means of a flexible shaft, the vibrator which is adjustable in 4
positions. The power-unit is equipped with a quick disconnect system, which allows
attachment of various blade widths within minutes. With the vibrating alu. profile of the
DuoScreed the toplayer of freshly poured concrete is compacted, leveled and smoothend in
one operation.
The drive-unit of the DuoScreed (Petrol engine) is started by pulling the recoil-starter of the
engine.The vibrating blade of the DuoScreed compacts, levels and smoothens freshly
poured concrete in one operation.
The DuoScreed features a dualpurpose blade and can be used for form-to-form screeding or
for wet screeding.
By rotating the power-unit 180 degrees the operator can choose between screeding, using
forms/rails, or wet screeding (see figures 3 and 4)
