Crating and Uncrating

Instructions

Type FH Single Discharge & Dual Discharge and FH-R

Single Discharge & Dual Discharge Road Widener

machines are generally shipped on an open, atbed truck.

For exports, the machines are packaged in shipping crates

that are designed to ensure that the components will not

be damaged during transport. Use caution when unpacking

the shipping crates as the contents may have shifted during

transit.

Assembly

The Road Widener machines come fully assembled from

the factory; however, some accessories weigh more than

30 lb (15 kg). When lifting accessories or components

more than 30 lb (15 kg), Road Widener recommends that

a minimum of 2 people and appropriate lifting devices be

used to assemble accessories or components.

Optional accessories weighing more than 30 lb (15 kg) are:

• Shoe Extension Kit

• Pintle Push Plate

• Push Roller Extensions (the push roller extensions are

not more than 30 lb (15 kg), but to install the push roller

extensions, lifting more than 30 lb (15 kg) is required)

Optional Equipment

Some optional equipment can be ordered from Road

Widener for your specic job if needed.

Roller Extension

If the rollers need to be extended closer to the dump

vehicle, roller extensions are available. The roller extensions

will extend the rollers an additional 12 in. (30 cm).

GENERAL INFORMATION

OPERATOR, MAINTENANCE AND PARTS

Curb Attachment

The curb attachment extends the hopper and allows the

shoe to be extended up over a curb to spread material

outside the curb. The roller wheel acts as a guide and

rides on the inside of the curb. It can be installed on a right

discharge, a left discharge or either side of a dual discharge

machine.

Figure 2: Curb Attachment Installed on Single Discharge Unit

INSTALLATION

OTE: N For easier installation have the machine

mounted on a skid steer. An assistant may be

required for the removal and the installation

of some of the parts. This procedure shows

mounting the curb attachment onto a right

side single discharge machine. Mounting on

a left side discharge or a dual discharge is

similar.

1 ] Park the machine on a at, level surface.

Push Plate

The push plate is used to push the dump vehicle when

not using the rollers. It usually pushes on the trailer hitch

receiver or the pintle hitch.

1 ] Hold the push plate in place on the front of the

machine.

2 ] Attach the push plate to the frame at the four

Pairing the Remote

Control

Your remote control comes factory paired. Almost never

will you need to pair your remote and receiver. The system

will behave like it is not paired if less than 12 volts DC and

10 amps are not present. If for some reason your remote

does not work, double-check the power supply(s). In the

unlikely event that pairing is required, see the separate

paring instructions that were supplied with the machine or

go to www.roadwidenerllc.com for the pairing procedure.

Remote systems require a 12-volt DC accessory socket

to be a 10-amp continuous solid-state connection. Using

lower than a 10-amp DC accessory socket will cause the

machine to not function. The handheld remote requires (2)

AAA batteries and the host machine must deliver 12 volts

DC and 10 amps. Connect your machine to a known

power source to verify! A direct circuit to the host machine’s

battery with a solid-state 10-amp fused circuit is advisable if

your remote does not function at initial start-up. USB ports

and some machine circuits provide less than 10 amps; if

your host machine falls into this category, adding a circuit

will be required.

SAFETY

TRANSPORTING

THE ROAD

WIDENER

Road Widener recommends loading and transporting the

machine on a deck-over trailer or an appropriate trailer with

enough capacity to sufciently handle the weight of the

Road Widener attachment. Reference the serial tag and the

manual to determine the weight of your machine.

Never try to load or unload the Road Widener

attachment with a skid steer or wheel loader that

does not have the correct lifting capacity to safely

lift the Road Widener attachment.

WARNING

Read the skid steer or wheel loader manual and make sure

the maximum lift capacity is sufcient to handle the weight

of the Road Widener attachment.

Lift Test

When loading or unloading, park the trailer on a at, level

surface. Due to different congurations, the operator should

perform a lift test to determine if the skid steer or wheel

loader has the proper lift capacity and the correct amount of

rear ballast is installed.

1 ] Attach the mounting plate to the skid steer or wheel

loader and lock in place. Connect the hydraulic lines

and the 12-volt DC power line if required. See “Jobsite

Preparation” on page 27.

Figure 17: Lift Test

2 ] Lift the machine 4 in. (10 cm) off the oor of the trailer

and bring the lifting motion to a complete stop.

3 ] Jog the load briey 1 or 2 seconds by raising the lift

arms or tilting the machine forward slightly, or perform

both.

4 ] Observe that the rear wheels of the skid steer or wheel

loader did not raise off the ground when “jogging” the

machine.

OPERATOR, MAINTENANCE AND PARTS

5 ] If a forward-tipping motion occurs, the skid steer

or wheel loader is undersized or does not have the

correct amount of ballast installed.

Never attempt to load, unload or operate the

machine with an undersized skid steer or wheel

loader, or if the correct amount of rear ballast is

not installed.

WARNING

Figure 18: Rear Ballast Weights

6 ] Add rear ballast weights to your machine if required.

OTE: N See the skid steer or wheel loader operator’s

manual for the proper use and placement of

the rear ballast weights.

MAINTENANCE 6

OPERATOR, MAINTENANCE AND PARTS

Maintenance on the Road Widener should only

be performed on a at, level concrete surface.

All hydraulic hoses and electrical connections, if

equipped, should be disconnected from the skid

steer or wheel loader.

WARNING

Always be environmentally responsible.

• Follow the guidelines of the EPA or other governmental

agencies for the proper disposal of hazardous materials.

Consult the local authorities or reclamation facility.

• NEVER dispose of hazardous materials irresponsibly

by dumping them into a sewer, on the ground, or into

groundwater or waterways.

• Failure to follow these procedures may seriously harm the

environment.

NOTICE

Performing maintenance on the Road Widener machine

only requires the use of basic hand tools.

Greasing the Machine

The lubrication ttings should be greased daily or more often

if the Road Widener is being used in adverse conditions.

There are a total of 10 grease ttings on the machine, four

for the conveyor bearings and six for the caster wheels.

3 ] Apply grease to each of the caster wheel pivots and to

each caster wheel axle pin.

Belt Start-Up and

Maintenance

Properly maintaining your belt will ensure a long belt life

on your attachment. It is essential that you perform the

following steps before use:

1 ] The rst time attaching and connecting your

attachment, run the belt and observe if the belt stays

centered on the head pulley. If there is any “walking” of

the belt, make sure to adjust the conveyor belt tension

on either side of the belt to eliminate the “walking.”

2 ] The rst time you run material through the

machine,run the belt and observe if the belt stays

centered on the head pulley. If there is any “walking” of

the belt, make sure to tighten either side of the belt to

eliminate the “walking.”

3 ] A new belt will stretch with use. Properly maintaining

tension will extend the life of the belt. See manual for

belt maintenance instructions.

4 ] If you run asphalt or wet topsoil through the machine,

it is important to be mindful of the single idler pulley on

the bottom of the conveyor belt. Treat the idler pulley

with a release agent before every load. After use,

clean the idler pulley of any build-up. See steps 13

and 14 on page 47 in the Operation section for more

information.

MAINTENANCE

OPERATOR, MAINTENANCE AND PARTS

5 ] When using for hot asphalt or wet topsoil, constantly

monitor the belt and the rollers for build-up during

operation and between loads. If material is allowed to

build up on the belt and the rollers it will cause the belt

to be over-tensioned, which could cause premature

belt failure. Tension the belt with the minimum amount

of tension required to allow the belt to turn with no

slippage, ensuring that the belt remains free of build-

up as much as possible. If build-up occurs, stop the

machine and remove build-up and build-up variables

(i.e., get dry soil).

Checking Hydraulic Oil

Level

The Road Widener attachment hydraulic system is lled

at the factory with approximately 3 gallons (11 liters).

During operation the hydraulic uid in the Road Widener is

circulated through the hydraulic system from the skid steer

or wheel loader. The uid level should be checked before

operation.

1 ] Attach the Road Widener to the skid steer or wheel

loader that is going to be used.

2 ] Connect the hydraulic lines and any electrical

connections if required.

3 ] Start up the drive machine and extend and retract the

cylinders for shoe in and out and up and down.

4 ] Run the conveyor belt for approximately 30 seconds.

5 ] Shut down the Road Widener machine and turn off

the skid steer or wheel loader.

6 ] Check the oil in the skid steer or wheel loader

hydraulic system by referring to the procedure in the

machine’s operation manual.

Adjusting Conveyor Belt

Tension

The conveyor belt tension is adjusted from the factory

but may require an adjustment after the machine has

accumulated some run time.

Figure 67: Adjusting Conveyor Belt Tension

1. Jam Nut

2. Adjustment Bolt

1 ] Inspect the conveyor belt rollers and make sure there

is no material build-up on the rollers. Clean the rollers

off if necessary.

2 ] Measure the distance from the back of the bearing

plate to the front of the adjustment bracket. Do this on

both sides of the belt. The measurement should be

approximately 2.5 in. (63.5 mm).

3 ] If adjustment is needed, loosen the jam nut for the

adjustment bolt.

4 ] Turn the adjustment bolt until the proper measurement

is obtained. Repeat the procedure for the other side.

The adjustment must be the same for both sides to

ensure the conveyor belt tracks correctly.

MAINTENANCE

OPERATOR, MAINTENANCE AND PARTS

Hopper Rubber Flashing to

Conveyor Belt Clearance

The hopper rubber ashing should be properly adjusted for

proper operation. If the gap is too wide, material spillage

between the rubber ashing and the conveyor belt can

occur. If the gap is too small, it can cause premature wear

on the rubber ashing and the conveyor belt.

1 ] Inspect the conveyor belt rollers and make sure there

is no material build-up on the rollers. Clean the rollers

off if necessary.

Figure 68: Hopper Rubber Flashing to Conveyor Belt Clearance

2 ] With no material in the hopper, check the clearance

between the rubber ashing and the conveyor belt.

The rubber ashing should be just touching the

conveyor belt with the hopper empty.

3 ] To adjust the ashing, loosen the screws and raise or

lower the ashing. Check the clearance on the entire

length of the hopper and on both sides of the hopper.

4 ] Tighten the screws after the clearance has been

adjusted.

Adjusting Conveyor Belt

Drive Chain

After the rst 10 hours of use, the conveyor belt drive chain

may need to be adjusted. Adjust the conveyor belt drive

chain periodically after the rst adjustment.

Figure 69: Adjust Conveyor Belt Drive Chain after First 10 Hours of Use

1. Mounting Bracket Nuts (4 used)

2. Adjusting Bolt

1 ] Loosen the mounting bracket nuts approximately

1-1/2 turns.

2 ] Loosen the jam nut on the adjusting bolt and turn the

adjusting bolt clockwise to tighten the chain. Do not

overtighten the chain.
