8B and 10B Pavemaster Screed Caterpillar

The thickness controls are used to perform adjustments to the thickness of the mat. Use these controls to increase or decrease the thickness of the mat that is laid.

Right hand thickness controls are the standard controls that are shipped from the factory. Left hand thickness controls are also available for this application.

1. Place the screed on two pieces of wood. Turn the thickness controls to the null position. Turn the thickness controls until you feel slack in the controls. The controls will turn easily with no drag when the controls are in the null position. Check both controls for null.

2. Turn the thickness controls in the clockwise direction in order to set the initial angle of attack. Turn the control until you feel resistance.

   As the screed slides off the blocks, the screed will move onto material that is partially compacted. The material will be the same depth as the thickness of the blocks.

3. To increase the depth, turn the controls clockwise. To decrease the depth, turn the controls counterclockwise.
