Curly Cord
If you’re pouring down the stringline and you notice the rear grade is not working or the front grade is not following grade, replace the cord first. Many times, the problem is caused by a bad cord.
Sensor
If the cord is good, check the Sensor next. Put a new sensor on and see if it eliminates the problem.
Amplifier
If the cord and sensor are good, the problem might be the Amplifier. Replacing the amplifier is your next step. Ninety percent of the time, the problem is either the cord, the sensor, or the amplifier. Having these spare parts on hand avoids costly downtime.
Grade & Steering Wand Assembly
There is always a possibility of breakage. It can cost you a day’s work and loss of concrete if you don’t have a spare.
Fiberglass Flat Bar
Pouring tight radius? Reduce the number of stakes by 50 to 70% with Fiberglass Flat Bar and the related clips and connections.
Filter Kit
Routine maintenance helps keep your machine performing reliably and ready for the job. Keep a filter kit on hand to stay ahead of scheduled maintenance, protect your machine, and minimize downtime.
Hopper Gasket
Changing molds can damage a hopper gasket and cause it to leak. A missing or damaged hopper gasket increases clean-up time. You also lose the “cream” necessary for the curb to “slick off” smoothly, causing extra work for your crew.
Kleen Kote
Make cleanup easier by spraying your machine with Kleen Kote before you pour. This environmentally friendly, water-based formula helps keep concrete from sticking to paint, rubber, and glass and has been factory-tested and trusted by Power Curbers customers. One gallon dilutes to make 12 gallons of solution, keeping your cost below $8 per gallon.
Kleen Krete
For old concrete build-up, apply Kleen Krete full-strength. It’s been factory-tested and comes with our recommendation. It is sold in 5-gallon containers.
Vibrator
If you have a vibrator go out, it can shut you down on the job or cause you to lose concrete. Changing out a vibrator in the middle of a pour is a life-saver, so be sure to keep a spare in your toolbox.
