- Accident prevention and health and safety at work regulations must be
complied with in the working area of the machine.
- L' impianto elettrico di alimentazione deve essere conforme alle norme
CEI-64-8 (documento di armonizzazione CENELEC HD384).
- To be sure the blades contact no object before using the engine.
- To move the machine when the engine is off.
- To keep handles dry and free from oil and grease.
6. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
IMER power floats are designed in compliance with EN 60204-1,
and are fitted with:
- Dead man control system;
- Residual current circuit breaker in electrical equipment;
- Overload cutout device.
7. INSTALLATION (fig.2 )
When the packing has been removed from the machine it can be
unloaded.
When using a lifting device, the hook must be placed in the lifting
eye provided.
Ensure that the hook cannot slide.
During lifting operations keep hands and feet away from the danger
zone.
Do not under any circumstances allow anyone to stand under the
supended load.
The machine will be placed in its working area by the lifting device.
Place the machine on the ground.
Remove the lifting cables.
The machine is now ready to work.
8. CARACTERISTICS
Handle bar is adjstable to meet the operator' s requirements and
minimize the overall dimensions.
It is provided with two rubber handles and all controls can be operated
easily.
Steel protection ring, permits to approach obstacles, assuring the
greatest safety for the operator.
9. BLADE INSTALLATION
Three types of blades are available that can be installed on any model.
The blade direction of rotation is clockwise.
9.1 COMBINED BLADES
Fasten the combined blades to hexagonal arms by means of the
screws supplied with the machine.
Be sure the bent edge of the blades rotates in the right direction.
9.2 FINISHING BLADES
Fasten the finishing blades to hexagonal arms.
Contrary to combined blades, the finishing blades can be used on
both sides, therefore it is not necessary to check the direction of
rotation.
9.3 ROUGHING BLADES
Smoothing blades are fastened under finishing blades by means of
a clip.
10. MAINS CONNECTION
- Check that the mains voltage is correct for feeding the machine.
230 VOLTS - 50 Hz
Ensure that the power feed line is fitted with a differential protection
device upstream. If necessary, use the quick coupling IMER residual
current circuit breaker (code co. 1169245) available in kit form.
The power feed line must be correctly sized order to avoid voltage
drops.Above all, do not use cable drums (with collector rings). The
dimensions of the wires must be based on the start-up current and length
of feed line.
In general, a 4x4mm² cable is sufficient for up to 50 m.
After installation, the voltage must be measured with load both during
start-up and operation.
Voltage drop during operation must be limited to 5%. If longer cables are
used, or the mains supply is inadequate, use a cable of minimum section
6 mm².
The wires must be sheathed in type H07 RN/F rubber.Check for any visible
external damage.
11. USE (fig.3)
- Regularly check the condition of the electric cable before using
the machine, it may have become inadvertently or unknowingly
damaged.
Start-up: the lever is fitted on the handle (ref. 1) and is dead-man control
safety type. To start the motor pull the lever. The motor cuts out when the
lever is released.
11.1 BLADE TILTING ADJUSTMENT
Turn handwheel (ref.3 fig.1) to obtain required blade inclination.

11.2 CONTROL
Carried out by pushing or lifting the andle. Left: by pushing -
Right: by lifting.
During the work we recommend to keep to the following diagram
fig.4.
11.3 ROUGHING
Prepare concrete as for a manual smoothing. Make sure the
surface is smooth (is recommended the use of a bar or of a
vibrating bar).
When concrete has set so that operator may walk on it leaving
only a slight footprint (about 3 mm), you can begin smoothing.
Smoothing is made by keeping blades almost horizontally.
Slightly lean the blades during the last passes in order to avoid
suction and friction effects occurring during the smoothing of a
still damp paving.
Always smooth at the lowest speed allowed by the machine.
11.4 FINISHING
When the smooth surface has sligtly hardened, you can begin
finishing. At first slightly lean the blades by about 4.6 mm. After
any finishing pass, increase the blades tilt and increase the
machine speed according to the hardness you wish to reach.
To grade a depression or a bump it is sufficient to move the
machine to and fro on this area till the desired grading is reached.
11.5 FINISHING BY MEANS OF FLOAT DISK
To achieve optimal finishing standards, the power float disk
(code no. 1193300) can be applied (optional).
This accessory should be fitted below the floating
blades and cannot be applied on universal or roughing
blade s .
Assembly must be performed with the machine switched off,
fitted with the finishing blades, placing the floating disk on the
floor and mounting the power float from above, taking care to
align the blades with the stops on the disk. Start up the machine
to begin work and engage the finishing blades and smoothing
disk (this is automatic as the stops are positioned in the same
direction of rotation as the blades).
12. MAINTENANCE
WARNING!!All maintenance operations must be carried
out after the machine has been stopped, and disconnected
from the mains supply.
- Do not abandon the machine in the open air; proteet it against
weather.
- Periodically grease the parts provided with lubricators.
- Replace SAE 140 oil of the gear after the first 1000 working
hours; repeat the operation every 3000 checking its level
periodically.
Used oil is classed as special waste. As such, it must be
disposed of in accordance with the laws in force.
- Clean the machine at the end of the work in order to avoid
deposits.
- Use original spares only when replacing faulty components.
