INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: For Your Own Safety. Read Instruction Manual Before
Operating the equipment.
•
Take the ‘HULK’ to where it is required. Caution should be used whilst
lifting and carrying (minimum of two persons required).
NEVER leave the engine running whilst moving or transporting the
‘HULK’, even if it is only a short distance.
•
Having carried out the checks listed in the 'pre start' section, you may
start the engine.
•
NOTE:- Once the machine has been started, the ‘HULK’ should
start vibrating and therefore the machine will also move in a forward
direction. Always check the machine for any unusual noises. If
any of these occur, stop the machine immediately and refer to the
troubleshooting section.
•
Use the control handle to steer or turn the ‘HULK’.
•
The vibrator not only causes the plate to vibrate but also causes the
machine to travel forward.
•
The speed of travel will be determined by the condition of the surface
being compacted.
•
If the surface to be compacted is on a slope, great care must be taken
when controlling the ‘HULK’ direction of travel. Work up and down a
slope not across.
•
Work the ‘HULK’ over the surface in an organised pattern until the
required compaction has been achieved.
•
Where there are a number of different layers to be compacted on top
of each other, compact each layer individually.
Improper maintenance can be hazardous.
Repairs and servicing should
only be conducted by an Evolution Power Tools’ approved engineer.
Improper repairs and / or maintenance will invalidate your warranty
.
