B. Preparing Curbilder for Operation
 Spray inside of hopper, compaction tube, and form with No. 2 fuel oil or kerosene
when extruding asphalt curb. Spray with water when extruding concrete curb.
 Position Curbilder so that the inside face of the curb form is in the proper location
to begin extrusion. Curbilder should start from 12” - 18” ahead of where curb is to
begin.
 Inspect the front wheel assembly horizontally to make sure the front wheels will
not track in the adhesive. Adjust Rear Wheel Assembly vertically so that the
discharge (rear) end of curb form just touches the base course. Adjust both Front
Wheel Assemblies vertically to lift the flange (front) end of the Curb Form 1/8” to
¼” above the base course. (Rear discharge end of curb form will touch base, front
flanged end of curb form will not).
 Set guide pointer directly over chalk/string line approximately 1” above pavement.
C. Assign Crew to Work Stations
 A crew of three(3) is required to run Curbilder if using concrete. One person is required
to steer machine and apply brake when required. A second person is needed to tend
the hopper and break up any material that bridges over the auger. This person will need
to adjust machine height as required. A third person is required to provide signals to the
concrete truck driver and to feed concrete material into the hopper using the chute of the
truck.
 A crew of two (2) is required to run Curbilder if using asphalt. One person is
required to steer machine and apply brake when required. A second person is
needed to tend the hopper and break up any material that bridges over the auger.
This person will need to adjust machine height as required. An additional two to
four persons will be required to bring asphalt to the Curbilder using wheelbarrows
unless a Curbloader is used in which case one (1) additional person is required.
 Assign one or two finishers to detail curb and cut expansion joints (concrete curb
only) if required.
