Health & Safety
Operating Instructions
Before you operate or carry out any maintenance on this machine YOU
MUST READ and STUDY this manual.
Vibration
Some vibration from the compaction operation is transmitted through the
handle to the operator's hands. The Evolution 'HULK ELECTRO' has
been specifically designed to reduce hand/arm vibration levels. Refer to
Technical Data section for vibration levels and usage times (recommended
maximum daily exposure time). DO NOT exceed the maximum usage
times.
PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
Suitable PPE must be worn when using this equipment i.e. Safety Goggles,
Gloves, Ear Defenders, Dust Mask and Steel Toe capped footwear (with
anti-slip soles for added protection). Wear clothing suitable for the work
you are doing. Always protect skin from contact with concrete.
Dust
The compaction process can produce dust, which may be hazardous to
your health. Always wear a mask that is suited to the type of dust being
produced.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION
For your own personal protection and for the safety
of those around you, please read and ensure you
fully understand the following safety information. It
is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that he/
she fully understands how to operate this equipment

Soil, which has been disturbed or new infill, sub base and blacktop, will
have small voids or air pockets which, if not compacted, will lead to one or
more problems occurring.
1. As traffic crosses the surface of an uncompacted area, the material
is compressed. This leads to subsidence of the top surface as the
material fills the voids.
2. A similar situation occurs with static loads on uncompacted ground.
The load (e.g. a building) will sink.
3. Materials with voids are more susceptible to water seepage, leading
to erosion. Water ingress may also cause the soil to expand during
freezing temperatures and contract during dry spells. Expansion and
contraction is a major cause of damage to building foundations and
normally leads to the structure requiring underpinning.
Compaction increases the density of the material and therefore increases
its load bearing capacity. Reduces air voids and therefore reduces the risk
of subsidence, expansion and contraction, due to ingress of water.
