FREEDOM SCREED EXTENSION SETTING
6. (See Figure 6.1) With the extensions completely closed, adjust the screed depth handle
until the extension screed plate rear curved edge just touches a straight
edge held against the main screed bottom at the outside edge, oriented
in forward to rearward direction.
7. (See Figure 7.1) Next, with the extensions completely closed, run a string across the entire
trailing edge, (rear), width of the screed extension bottoms. Release turnbuckle jam nut and
adjust turnbuckles until there is a slight gap (approximately 1/16” or less) between the
screed extension bottoms and the string.
8. (See Figure 7.1) Lock all ratchet jacks and turnbuckle lock nuts to prevent movement
during paving operations.
