4 Transport and storing
4.1 Securing for transport
Before transporting the machine, always remove the blades and the plate.
4.2 Transport procedure
Conform yourself to work regulations, in order to transport the machine safely.
To lift the machine, use the lifting eye. Make sure that your lifting device is securely fastened to the
lifting eye.
4.3 Long period of inactivity
If the machine is not going to be used for a long period, completely clean the machine and
disassemble the tools. The storage site must be clean, dry and at a constant temperature.
5 Operating the machine
5.1 Site of work
•
Remove from the site anything, which might hinder the working procedure!
•
Make sure the site is sufficiently well lit!
•
Make sure you have a continual adequate view of the working area so you can intervene in the
working process at any time!
•
Keep other staff out of the area, so you can work securely.
5.2 Preparing the site
Prepare the concrete as for manual trowelling. Assure a well levelled surface (we recommend the
use of a beam or better a vibrating screeder). When slab has set sufficiently firm so that the
operator can walk on it, leaving only a slight impression (approx.3mm), it is ready for the floating
operation.
5.3 Floating and finishing operation
To use the machine correctly, you must face it with the two hands on the handle.
Handling the machine
Operate the machine from right to left as shown in the following drawing:
To move the machine:
•
Forward (I on the following drawing), turn the handle clockwise.
•
Backward (II), turn the handle counterclockwise.
•
To the left (III), pull up the handle.
