11.5 LEVELING THE FLOORS As soon as the vibration begins, the aluminum profile must be set in motion at a constant speed. To avoid pressure points in the concrete, the profile must not be switched off during smoothing. The lower side of the profile must be kept horizontal to achieve the full effect of the vibrating beam.
12. MAINTENANCE, CARE AND STORAGE 12.1 MAINTENANCE ATTENTION! Before carrying out any repair, maintenance or servicing work, always switch off the engine and remove the spark plug connector. - Check the tightness of all bolts and screws at regular intervals. Replace any faulty screws, nuts and bolts to avoid major damage to the engine or frame.
12.2. LUBRICATION OF PATHOGENS Lubricate the vibrating beam's exciter every 10 hours of operation. Do not use too much grease. Use commercially available fluid grease to lubricate the exciter. 12.3. ENGINE CARE change engine oil 1. Provide a suitable container to collect the oil. 2.
