Assembly Instructions
This section will explain how to assemble the DuoScreed.
It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the
DuoScreed’s components. For assistance identifying
components called out in the text, refer to the Figure 1.
NOTE
1 . The DuoScreed is comprised of two major components.
The power unit (HONDA GX31SA Engine) and the strike-
off blade. This DuoScreed is equipped with a quick
disconnect system, with which the power unit can be
mounted onto two aluminum clamping strips with ease.
2 . The aluminum clamping strip (retaining plate) is located at
the base of the power unit. This clamping strip is what
holds the blade in place with the aid of three quick
disconnect spring loaded wing nuts (Figure 3) that can
either be tighten or loosened by hand.

3. Determine whether you will be using the DuoScreed on
forms or as a wet screed . This will decide how the power
unit will be mounted . If the DuoScreed will be used as a wet
screed the wing nuts should be located above the smooth
edge of the blade. If the DuoScreed will be used on forms
(Figure 3) the wing nuts should be located above the
curled edge of the blade.
4. Loosen each of the three wing nuts about 1/4 inch (8 mm).
It is not necessary to completely remove the wing nuts from
the aluminum clamping strip.
5. Locate the two red indicator arrows (Figure 4) on the top of
the blade. The power unit should be placed squarely
between the two markers.
