550E SCREED BOTTOM REPLACEMENT – BOLT ON PLATE
1. On a flat surface, find the null position of the screed depth handles by adjusting them until they
are free and not in tension.
2. Find the screed crown null position. “Null” can be achieved by rotating the ratchet jacks until both
forward and rear ratchet jacks are not under pressure and are free to move without the handles.
3. There is a steel flap fully welded to one half and overlapping onto the other half, place three tack
welds on the overlapping side. This is located on the top surface of the screed, between the two
heating burners. This will act to secure the right and left sides in this null position.
4. Unbolt the existing screed plate. Remove any material left inside the open cavity of the screed,
check the heating burner area closely.
5. Install the replacement screed plate.
6. Remove the three tack welds from step # 3.
5. Reset the screed crown, as described in the Crown Setting Instructions.
