Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I install the expandable pipe inserts?
To install the expandable pipe inserts into the pipe you will need a ¾” ratcheting socket, wrench, or preferrably a battery impact. Push expandable insert into the end of the pipe until flange is tight against pipe end. Equally tighten the lug bolts on the expandable pipe inserts to ensure proper fitting into pipe.
How do I attach the drive and static ends of the Eel Screed to the pipe?
Once both expandable screed ends are properly and securely installed in the pipe, the next step is to attach the drive end to the pipe. Make sure the screed is unplugged to protect the operator in case of accidental trigger activation. Lay the drive unit down next to the pipe and align the chuck to the expandable insert shaft.
Push drive head all the way onto the shaft. Take one hand and roll the pipe forward until you can see down through the chuck and shaft hole. Once you have the two holes aligned install the lock pin. The drive end is now installed. Repeat this process with the T-bar assembly on the idle end.
Why is my trigger lever sticking?
Why is my machine shaking so much?
Make sure the pipe ends have been cut true and are not angled. Ends not properly cut will cause excessive shaking and may cause damage to the drive unit. Use a factory cut end of the pipe whenever possible to install the drive end on.
Other things to do include checking to see if the pipe itself is bent, and avoid abrupt or excessive movement of the drive unit to reposition pipe location.
Why is nothing happening when I pull the speed lever?
What pipe should be used with the Eel Screed?
4″ SCH40 aluminum pipe or our patent-pending Lynx Screed System. If buying from an outside source, we recommend using this aluminum pipe: 6061-T6 EXTRUDED PORTHOLE PIPE – ASTM B429 – 4” SCH 40 (4.500 OD X .237 W)
What is the power source for the Eel Screed?
The Eel Screed is powered by plugging the cord into a 120V, 60hz outlet or generator.
Can the Eel Screed be pulled in only one direction?
The Eel Screed is designed to easily adapt to an either direction pull. Just push the directional button all the way on the desired side so the pipe spins away from the operator.
Which way should the pipe spin?
With both operators holding firmly on the handles lightly pull the variable speed trigger to see which direction the pipe turns. The pipe should roll away from the operators for proper operation. If the pipe rolls towards the operators, simply change the rotation of the pipe by pushing the directional button on the side of the machine.
Does the Eel Screed only run at one speed?
Nope! Thanks to the adjustable right or left hand speed control, how much grip you put on the lever will change how fast or slow the pipe spins.
How heavy is the Eel Screed?
The Eel Screed weighs about 70 lbs without an aluminum pipe attached.
