Place a wood block at each side of the screed. Place the wood blocks directly under the thickness control of the screed. The blocks should be long enough to extend from the front of the screed to the rear of the screed.Note: The blocks should be 25% thicker than the desired thickness of the compacted mat. The blocks should be approximately 600 mm (2 ft) long for a fixed width screed. The blocks should be approximately 1200 mm (4 ft) long for a hydraulically extendable screed.
Lower the screed so that the screed is resting on the blocks. Pull the machine forward until the slack is out of the area near the tow point.
Adjust the tow point control switches for the desired angle of attack and height.
