6. Immerse the head for 5 to 10 seconds, (until air stops rising),
and then withdraw it slowly to let the concrete fill the void
left by the head. The head should be completely below the
surface when vibrating to keep the head cool. When
vibrating a thin horizontal slab, the head can be used in a
horizontal position.
