■ The power units's engine requires an adequate free flow of
cooling air. NEVER operate the screed in any enclosed or
narrow area where free flow of the
air is restricted. If the air flow is
restricted it will cause serious
damage to the machine or engine
and may cause injury to people.
Remember the machine's engine
