Operating tips:
3.5.1 NEVER turn the vibrator off while it is submerged in the concrete.
3.5.2 During use, insert the head quickly into the mix and then pull it out
slowly. Rapid removal is the main cause of poor concrete
consolidation. For best results, submerge head completely and try to
establish a symmetrical pattern for inserting and removing the head.
3.5.3 When moving around the jobsite, do not drag the vibrator head and
shaft on the ground.
3.5.4 Avoid touching forms and rebars when inserting the vibrator head into
the mix. This can transmit vibration to other areas of the mix which may
already be setting.
3.5.5 When the vibrator is out of the concrete for extended periods of time,
allow the engine to return to idle speed or simply turn the machine off .
3.6 When Vibration Is Complete
When you are finished using the vibrator:
3.6.1 Bring the engine RPM down to idle speed.
3.6.2 Lift the vibrator head out of the concrete
3.6.3 Shut off the engine by turning the engine switch to the OFF position.
3.6.4 Disconnect the vibrator shaft from the engine.
3.6.5 Rinse the vibrator head and shaft thoroughly with clean water. Do not
allow concrete to harden on these components.
3.6.6 See “Maintenance” chapter for extended storage procedures.
