11.4.1 Compacting freshly mixed (green) concrete
1. Hold the machine with both hands on the protection hose and guide it.
2. Quickly immerse, submerge the vibrator head into the freshly mixed (green) concrete, wait for a few
seconds and slowly pull it out.
3. Immerse the vibrator head in all areas of the formwork and compact the freshly mixed (green)
concrete.
11.5 Decommissioning
11.5.1 Decommissioning the machine
NOTICE
 Compact particularly intensely within the range of the formwork corners, because
reinforcement density is the greatest there.
 Avoid letting the vibrator head come into contact with the reinforcement. If the
vibrator head comes into contact with the reinforcement, the following damage
may occur:
 The connection of the concrete to the reinforcement may be lost.
 The machine can be damaged.
The result of the compaction depends on the following factors:
 The time the vibrator head is in the concrete.
 The diameter of the vibrator head.
 The consistency of the concrete.
 Narrow spacing between the steel rods.
For example, if a vibrator head with a small diameter is used, you have to compact for
longer to achieve the same effect as with a large diameter.
Features of when the concrete has been sufficiently compacted:
 The concrete is no longer settling.
 Little to no air bubbles are rising any longer.
 The sound of the vibrator head no longer changes.
CAUTION
Proper motion of the running vibrator head outside of the freshly mixed (green) concrete.
Risk of injury or danger of property damage due to beating around vibrator head.
 Switch the machine off before setting it down.
CAUTION
Warming up the running vibrator head outside of the freshly mixed (green) concrete.
Risk of burning from hot surface.
Damage to the machine from increased wear.
 Do let the machine run outside of the freshly mixed (green) concrete.
