2.1 Operating Safety

Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of the

machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel

can be dangerous. Read the operating instructions contained in both

this manual and the Engine Manual and familiarize yourself with the

location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should

receive instruction from someone familiar with the machine before

being allowed to operate it.

2.1.1 NEVER allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper

training. People operating this equipment must be familiar with the

risks and hazards associated with it.

2.1.2 NEVER touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or

immediately after it has been turned off. These areas get hot and may

cause burns.

2.1.3 NEVER operate this machine in applications for which it is not

intended.

2.1.4 ALWAYS wear protective clothing appropriate to the job site when

operating the machine.

2.1.5 ALWAYS remain aware of moving parts and keep hands, feet, and

loose clothing away from the moving parts of the machine.

2.1.6 ALWAYS operate the machine with all safety devices and guards in

place and in working order.

2.2 Operator Safety while using Internal Combustion Engines

Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation

and fueling. Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine

Owner’s Manual and the safety guidelines below. Failure to follow the

warnings and safety standards could result in severe injury or death.

2.2.1 DO NOT run the machine indoors or in an enclosed area such as a

deep trench unless adequate ventilation, through such items as

exhaust fans or hoses, is provided. Exhaust gas from the engine

contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure to carbon

monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.

2.2.2 DO NOT smoke while operating the machine.

2.2.3 DO NOT smoke when refueling the engine.

2.2.4 DO NOT refuel a hot or running engine.

2.2.5 DO NOT refuel the engine near an open flame.

2.2.6 DO NOT run the engine near open flames.

2.2.7 ALWAYS refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.

2.2.8 ALWAYS replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.

2.2.9 ALWAYS check the fuel lines and the fuel tank for leaks and cracks

before starting the engine. Do not run the machine if fuel leaks are

present or the fuel lines are loose.

2.3 Service Safety

A poorly maintained machine can become a safety hazard! In order

for the machine to operate safely and properly over a long period of

time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.

2.3.1 DO NOT attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running.

Rotating parts can cause severe injury.

2.3.2 DO NOT crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on

gasoline-powered engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out

the spark plug opening.

2.3.3 DO NOT test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if the engine is

flooded or the smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite

the fumes.

2.3.4 DO NOT use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to

clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and

solvents can become explosive.

2.3.5 ALWAYS keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as

leaves, paper, cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and

start a fire.

2.3.6 ALWAYS keep the machine clean and labels legible. Replace all

missing and hard-to-read labels. Labels provide important operating

instructions and warn of dangers and hazards.

2.3.7 ALWAYS check all external fasteners at regular intervals.

2.3.8 ALWAYS handle blades carefully. The blades can develop sharp

edges which can cause serious cuts.

2.3.9 ALWAYS turn the engine off before performing maintenance or making

repairs.

2.4 Label Locations

2.5 Warning and Informational Labels

Wacker machines use international pictorial labels where needed.

These labels are described below:

Label Meaning

A nameplate listing the model number, item

number, revision number, and serial number is

attached to each unit. Please record the infor-

mation found on this plate so it will be available

should the nameplate become lost or dam-

aged. When ordering parts or requesting ser-

vice information, you will always be asked to

specify the model number, item number, revi-

sion number, and serial number of the unit.

3.2 Application

This screed is a modern, high production machine intended to provide

accurate strike-off of concrete slabs with or without the support of

grade stakes or forms. The vibrations produced by the eccentric

weight are equally transmitted along the beam length and will provide

adequate consolidation of unreinforced slabs up to eight inches in

depth. Multiple blade lengths and variable exciter weight positions

allow for optimum compaction and production of the slab placement.

3.3 Recommended Fuel

The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh,

clean gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage fuel

system. Consult engine Owner’s Manual for complete fuel

specifications.

3.4 Before Starting

3.4.1 Read and understand safety and operating instructions at beginning of

this manual.

3.4.2 Check:

• Oil level in engine.

• Fuel level.

• Condition of air cleaner.

• Tightness of external fasteners.

• Condition of fuel lines.

3.4.3 Adjust handles for operator’s comfort.

Make sure all hardware is tightened before use and be aware of pinch

points during handle adjustments.

3.5 To Start

3.6 To Stop

Refer to engine owner’s / operator’s manual.

3.7 Operation

See Graphic: wc_gr001074

A typical screeding of concrete using the wet screed proceeds as

follows:

3.7.1 Wet pads need to be established for wet screed guidance. Place wet

pads (a) in strips no less than 0.6m (2.0 ft) wide.

Note: Hand tools such as magnesium floats are used in conjunction

with a laser receiver, transit level, or grade stakes to establish the

proper elevation of the pads.

3.7.2 The float will be used to strike off or build up the level of the fresh

concrete to the desired grade and is usually marked with an “X” (b) to

signal the screed operator that grade has been established. A

minimum of two areas should be marked per length of screed blade

used to strike the entire pad.

3.7.3 Place the blade on the pad and strike-off perpendicular to the strip axis

(c). The operator now uses the marked pads as elevation guides.

3.7.4 Concrete can be placed between the strips (d) and use them as “wet

forms” for the rest of the placement. Strike-off at this point will be

parallel to the axis of the initial wet pads of concrete (e).

Note: Screeding MUST be complete before any excess moisture or

bleed water is present on the surface, and before the strips have taken

an initial set.

3.8 Exciter

See Graphic: wc_gr001060

The vibration speed is controlled by the throttle lever on the power unit.

However, the eccentric weight can be adjusted to increase or decrease

the force of vibration.

Note: The screed eccentric is preset at the factory to position 4&5.

To Adjust:

3.8.1 Remove the 4 screws (a) mounting the blade to the power unit.

3.8.2 Remove the 3 screws mounting the eccentric housing (b).

3.8.3 Using a 1/4” Allen wrench, loosen the screw (c) holding the eccentric

weights in place.

3.8.4 Adjust weights to desired setting: 0.95kN being the maximum (d) and

0.50kN being the minimum (e).

3.8.5 Reassemble components and tighten all hardware.

3.10 Handles

See Graphic: wc_gr001072

For maximum comfort and user control of the wet screed during

operation, the handle’s vertical height (a) can be adjusted 360° and the

horizontal rotation (b) 180°.

3.11 Lifting Machine

See Graphic: wc_gr004727

The wet screed is designed to be light and compact for transporting

around the job site.

3.11.1 To compact the wet screed, loosen screws (a) and fold down the upper

handle. Tighten screws (a) to hold handle position.

3.11.2 The lifting handle (b) at the base makes carrying the wet screed easier

especially if longer blades are attached.
