bottom of the ditch/trench. Supply the factory the curb form shape, the amount of offset and

the depth of the ditch/trench from the top of the road surface to determine the feasibility of

your application.

Layout the Job Site

Before putting the Miller Curbilder in use determine the location of the curb on the job site.

Work from either plan job site drawings or surveyors grade stakes.

A) Determine the SEQUENCE or ORDER in which each curb section will be placed.

Consider the hand(s) (Left and/or Right) of Curb Forms required, the exit areas available at

the end of straight sections and the starting locations of curbs required against walls and

other curbs. Anticipate the best sequence of moves for the concrete trucks. Note the

location of unprotected openings, walls, excavations, etc. Also note the location of any

overhead wires, openings or obstructions that will affect the curb placement sequence.

Note any job conditions that are unsafe and take corrective action BEFORE putting the

Curbilder into service. For example, correct any soft condition in base or exit areas. All

surfaces where the Curbilder must travel must be leveled within a 5% slope and compacted

in excess of 90%. DO NOT OPERATE THE CURBILDER ON SOFT, UNEVEN SURFACES

WHICH CAN CAUSE THE CURBILDER TO GET STUCK AND/OR TIP. Job site grades

must not exceed 15%/ 8.5 Degrees. Dangerous Job Site Conditions that will be present

during curb placement must be marked and protected with sufficient equipment to prevent

any injury to personnel. Examples include but are not limited to overhead wires, openings

with more than a 6” drop off, other job site work activity, etc.

B) Determine the LOCATION where each curb section will be placed. Mark all the

locations of the inside curb face. The inside curb face is the face/side of the curb that faces

toward the middle of the road or toward the center of a parking area. Then snap a chalk line

or nail in place a colored string 12” from the location of the inside face of the curb toward the

center of the road/parking area. This mark/string will be the reference for the pointer on the

front of the Curbilder.

C) Apply Adhesive.

i) When placing Concrete Curb over an existing concrete surface, apply a spray

coating of Concrete Epoxy to the area where a concrete curb will be located on top

of a concrete surface. Permit the epoxy to become tacky before applying curb.

Follow epoxy directions for curing, amounts to be placed and safety.

ii) When placing Concrete Curb over an existing asphalt or compacted rock surface

apply a spray coating of SS-1 Emulsified Asphalt Tack Coat to the area where a

concrete curb will be located. Apply from .05 to .15 gallons per square yard.

iii) When placing Asphalt Curb over an existing asphalt, concrete or compacted rock

surface apply a spray coating of SS-1Emulsified Asphalt Tack Coat to the area

where a concrete curb will be located. Apply from .05 to .15 gallons per square

yard.
