SAFETY
∆ DO NOT expose vibrator to rain.
∆ DO NOT use vibrator motor in damp or wet
locations without proper electrical circuits.
∆ DO NOT immerse the motor part in con-
crete.
∆ ALWAYS keep clear of rotating or moving
parts while operating.
∆ NEVER leave the machine unattended while
running
∆ ALWAYS disconnect the motor from the
power source when not in use, before servic-
ing, and when changing flexible shafting and
vibrator heads.
∆ Allow the machine to cool
before servicing. Contact with
hot components can cause
serious burns.
∆ Before Each use, ALWAYS check the motor
to make certain that there are no damaged
parts and that all parts function properly.
If any damage or malfunctioning parts are
found, have them repaired or replaced by an
authorized service facility.
∆ ALWAYS secure forms. Make sure the form
work is well made and braced to withstand
the stresses made by vibration.
∆ ALWAYS keep vibrator motor clean for bet-
ter and safer operation.
∆ ALWAYS store equipment properly when
it is not being used. Equipment should be
stored in a clean, dry location out of reach
of children and unauthorized personnel.
∆ Use only factory authorized replacement
parts.
∆ Store idle vibrator motor. When not in use,
motor should be stored in a dry, safe stor-
age area.
∆ DO NOT pour waste or oil directly into the
ground, down a drain or into any water
source.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY/DECOMMISSIONING
∆ Contact you country department
of Public Works or recycling
agency in your area and arrange
for proper disposal of any elec-
trical components, waste or oil
associated with this equipment.
∆ When the life cycle of this equipment is over,
remove battery (if equip) and bring to appro-
priate facility for lead reclamation. Use safety
precautions when handling batteries that
contain sulfuric acid.
∆ When the life cycle of this equipment is over,
it is recommended that the unit frame and
all other metal parts be sent to a recycling
center.
Metal recycling involves the collection of
metal from discarded products and its trans
formation into raw materials to use in many
Manufacturing a new product.
Recyclers and manufactures alike promote the
process of recycling center promotes energy
cost savings.
Decommissioning is a controlled process used to
safely retire a piece of equipment that is no longer
serviceable. If the equipment poses an unaccept-
able and unrepairable safety risk due to wear or
damage or is no longer cost effective to maintain
(beyond life-cycle reliability) and is to be decommis-
sioned (demolition and dismantlement), be sure to
follow rules below.
∆ ALWAYS observe all applicable compulsory reg-
ulations relevant to environmental protection,
especially fuel storage, the handling of hazard-
ous substances, and the wearing of protective
clothing and equipment. Instruct the user as a
necessary, or, as the user, request this informa-
tion and training.
∆ ALWAYS keep the machine in proper running
condition.
∆ ALWAYS become familiar with the compo-
nents of the machine before operation.
∆ Fix damage to machine and replace any bro-
ken parts immediately.
∆ ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is
not being used. Equipment should be stored
in a clean, dry location out of the reach of
children and unauthorized personnel.
∆ NEVER lubricate components or attempt ser-
vice on a running machine
∆ NEVER tamper with the factory
settings of the engine or en-
gine governor. Damage to the
engine or equipment can result
in operation in speed ranges
above the maximum allowabil-
ity.
∆ ALWAYS Dispose of hazardous waste proper-
ly. Examples of potentially hazardous waste
include used motor oil, fuel, and fuel filters.
∆ DO NOT use food or plastic containers to
dispose hazardous waste.
∆ DO NOT pour waste or oil directly onto the
ground, down or drain or into any waste
source.
BEFORE CONNECTING THE AIR COMPRESSOR:
∆ NEVER attempt to loosen any compressed air
hose that is pressurized.
∆ KEEP AWAY from all hot or spark generating
objects, do not smoke when handling fuel.
∆ So as to facilitate shipment, new or repaired
units are not lubricated before delivery to cus-
tomers.
∆ DO NOT use hydrocarbons and especially do
not use fuel oil for lubricating purposes.
∆ DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE WITHOUT
GUARDS AND COVERS IN PLACE
∆ ALWAYS disconnect the air supply before chang-
ing steel or dismantling the tool for service or
repair. For maximum safety we advise the in-
stallation of a shut-off valve at the end of the air
line.
∆ NEVER operate the engine with heat shields or
guards removed.
∆ DO NOT remove the engine oil drain plug while
the engine is hot. Hot oil will gush out of the
engine crankcase and severely scald any persons
in the general area of the machine.
∆ Install the drill steel and bits into the drill motors
and close the latch retainers and rod guides.
∆ Make sure that the air compressor is set at an
operating pressure of not more than 120 PSIG
(8Bar)
∆ Make sure air line is cleaned out and is of the
proper size and pressure rating for the drill unit.
∆ Make sure the lubricator is filled with proper
lubricant. See Minnich recommended lubricant
below.
∆ Make sure all controls are in the “off” position
and the lift lever (if so equipped) is in the “up”
position.
∆ Make sure all lock pins are in their locked posi-
tion.
