General Safety Guidelines
•Operator concentration is always an important factor when using mechanical equipment
and anything that distracts the operator during operation is a clear and present danger.
•Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of all Metal Forms
Corporation™ equipment. Equipment operated improperly or by untrained personnel
can be dangerous. All operators MUST read both the General Safety Guidelines Sheet
and the Speed Screed manual prior to operation.
•NEVER allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper training. People
operating this equipment must be familiar with all the risks and hazards associated with
it.
•DO NOT operate any equipment while under the influences of drugs, alcohol, or
medications
•Check machine EACH DAY before use to ensure it is proper running condition.
•If any parts are worn or damaged, fix or replace IMMEDIATELY.
•ALWAYS use OEM replacement parts.
•When equipment is not in use, remove the key and be sure to store it in a clean and dry
environment, out of reach of unauthorized personnel and children.
•ALWAYS keep doors, covers, and heat shields attached/closed when the engine is
running.
•DO NOT place hands or fingers inside the engine compartment when
engine is running.
•Keep fingers, hands, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to
prevent injury.
•DO NOT remove the engine oil drain plug while the engine is hot. Hot oil can rapidly
flow out of the oil tank and severely scald or burn any persons in the general area of the
machine.

•NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold,
muffler, or cylinder.
Allow these parts to cool before servicing equipment.
•NEVER run engine without an air filter or with a dirty air filter. Severe engine damage
may occur. Service air filter frequently to prevent engine malfunction.
•NEVER tamper with the factory settings of the engine, engine governor, or control
levers. Damage to the engine or equipment can result if operating in speed ranges
above the maximum allowable.
•DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible fluids. Fuel is
extremely flammable, and its vapors can cause an explosion if ignited.
•ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and open flames.
•ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable liquids.
•DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.
•DO NOT overfill tank. Spilled fuel could ignite if it comes in contact with hot engine parts
or sparks from the ignition system.
•Store fuel in appropriate containers, in well-ventilated areas and away
from sparks and flames.
•NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.
•DO NOT smoke around or near the equipment. Fire or explosion could
result from fuel vapors or if fuel is spilled on a hot engine.

REV.03_9/2021
•DO NOT drop the battery. There is a possibility that the battery will explode.
•DO NOT expose the battery to open flames or sparks. The battery contains
combustible gases and liquids. If these gases and liquids come in contact
with a flame or spark, an explosion could occur.
•ALWAYS wear safety glasses when handling the battery to
avoid eye irritation. The battery contains acids that can cause
injury to the eyes and skin.
•Use well-insulated gloves when picking up the battery.
•ALWAYS keep the battery charged. If the battery is not charged, combustible gas will build
up.
•DO NOT charge battery if frozen. Battery can explode. When frozen, warm the battery to at
least 61°F (16°C).
•ALWAYS recharge the battery in a well-ventilated environment to avoid the risk of a
dangerous concentration of combustible gases.
•If the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes in contact with clothing or skin,
rinse skin or clothing immediately with plenty of water.
•If the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes in contact with eyes, rinse
eyes immediately with plenty of water and contact the nearest doctor or
hospital to seek medical attention.
•When using the optional walkway, always use a safety harness to
prevent falling into moving rollers

Lifting Eyes
Machine Operation
Machine Basics
The Speed Screed™ Roller (SSR) is a variable length triple tube roller system that allows
users to easily swap rollers and extension frames between jobs that require different pour
widths. With rollers and extensions available from 10’ to 30’ in single foot increments, almost
any job can be easily handled with this machine.
This machine comes with standard safety features such as the kickstand (steering leg) and
drive lever hydro-back, which returns the drive lever to neutral when the operator steps away
from the machine. It also available with an optional idler end weight pack to offset the engine
end weight differential, or a spray system to keep your roller tubes clean during operation.
Metal Forms Corporation™ manufactures these machines with state-of-the-art equipment and
processes, and only sources the highest quality materials and components to ensure a long
life out of your investment.
Our one-of-a-kind design utilizes a variable volume, closed loop dual piston pump and a
remote-mounted muffler to allow for a fully enclosed power side end frame. This design
simplifies the system, reduces the number of components, and allows for easier maintenance
and clean-up every time you use the machine.
Loading/Unloading Your Machine
When loading and unloading your machines from a flat-bed or trailer, always use either the (4)
provided lifting-eyes with shackles and chains rated above the maximum weight of your
machine or the provided adjustable fork pocket assemblies.
The lifting eyes are attached to the extension frame and can be moved to adjust the picking
points for different length machines. The fork pockets can be adjusted by loosening the square
U-bolts. Always place the picking support bars or fork pockets at an equal distance from the
center of gravity of the machine.
