Screed travel is accomplished by the means of manually
operated winches. There is one winch located on each
end of the screed. The winch assembly should already be
installed on the end handle frame section.
If the winch assembly is not installed on the end handle
frame section, mount the winch as shown in Figure 17.

Form stakes are required to secure the winch cables. To
prevent injury it is very important to make sure the winch
cables are properly attached to the form stakes.
Figure 18 illustrates the correct method of attaching the
winch cables to the form stakes. If the winch cables are
not attached to the form stakes correctly, the cables could
snap loose causing severe bodily harm and damage to
the equipment.
The following procedure outlines the correct procedure for
attaching the winch cable to the form stakes:
1. Insert stake between the stake support strap and form.
Hammer stake into the ground at least 2 ft. (0.6 meters).
Make sure stake has been driven firmly into the ground
and will not pull out when tension is applied.
2. Loop the hook end of the winch cable around the first
stake from the end of the form as shown in Figure 18.
Make sure you go underneath the form.
