• Never turn off the vibrator motor when it is
inside the concrete mix, always turn off the en-
gine when the vibrator is out of the concrete
mix.
• It is important that the vibrator head does
not intentionally strike the grille or rods, as the
contact with these materials decreases the life
of your vibrator.
• Never use your vibrator to transport the con-
crete sideways because it risks separating or
vibrating the mix.
• The recommended vibration time is 10 to 20
seconds per insertion.
IMPORTANT: Vibrating more time to a con-
crete mix does not provide better results, but
increases the risk of separation of the elements
that make up the mixture.
A simple way to real-
ize that the concrete is
well vibrated is when
on the surface around
the vibrator head it
looks shiny and no
air bubbles come out
of it.
The operating temperature of a handle is
75° to 80°, when you notice that your handle
works at more than this temperature, suspend
its operation and dismantle it for inspection.
IMPORTANT: Avoid bending or forcing the
hose into sharp corners as the hose increases
friction against the spiral wall of the hose and
greatly reduces the life of your vibrator assem-
bly.
Never drag the drive unit by pulling on the
flexible shaft hose, drastically damages the
shaft, greatly reduces the life of your vibra-
tor and may cause an accident by turning the
power unit uncontrolled.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Fuel can damage paint and plas-
tic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filling your
fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not
covered under warranty.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rat-
ing of 86 or higher.
These engines are certified to operate on un-
leaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces
fewer engine and spark plug deposits and ex-
tends exhaust system life.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an
oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or wa-
ter in the fuel tank.
Occasionally you may hear a light ''spark
knock'' or ''pinging'' (metallic rapping noise)
while operating under heavy loads. This is no
cause for concern.
If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady en-
gine speed, under normal load, change brands
of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists,
see an authorized servicing dealer.
WARNING: Running the engine with persis-
tent spark knock or pinging can cause engine
damage. Running the engine with persistent
spark knock or pinging is considered misuse,
and the Distributor's Limited Warranty does
not cover parts damaged by misuse.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
Check the engine oil level with the engine
stopped and in a level position.
1. Remove the filler cap/dipstick and wipe it
clean.
Filler cap/dipstick
2. Insert and remove the dipstick without
screwing it into the filler neck. Check the oil
level shown on the dipstick.
3. If the oil level is low, fill to the edge of the oil
filler hole with the recommended oil.
4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
WARNING: Running the engine with a low
oil level can cause engine damage.
The Oil Alert system (applicable engine types)
will automatically stop the engine before the
oil level falls below safe limit. However, to
avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected
shutdown, always check the engine oil level
before startup.
