FLEXTOOL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PORTAVIBE PETROL STEEL TIP
CARE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Keep the unit clean and free of concrete residue.
Check the oil level in the engine crankcase daily, it should reach
the edge of the oil filler neck. The engine oil capacity is only 100 ml
and running the engine with a low oil level will cause serious engine
damage.
Vibrators must be handled with care, and be properly maintained in
order to avoid unnecessary breakdowns. Check regularly for signs
of wear and rectify any faults immediately.
The exterior of the flexshaft and the vibrator head are subject to
abrasion and wear. If the vibrator is operated unchecked, concrete
will eventually enter the vibrator head or the flexshaft.
Naturally, the cost of repairing, a vibrator which has been allowed
to deteriorate in this way will be greater.
Regular inspection of the vibrator and the flexible shaft will avoid
these problems.
Check the flexible shaft for kinks and external damage by laying it
out straight on a workbench or the floor. Although it still operates,
a badly kinked flexible shaft may result in a broken inner core.
Check the outer casing rubber cover for damage where it enters
the ferrule at the vibrator head. Damage is caused by operators
using a crane to retrieve a vibrator trapped in concrete reinforcing
bars.
SERVICE
Replace the oil in the motor crankcase regularly with Honda
10W/30 oil.
The air cleaner element fitted is a wet foam type. Service the
air cleaner element regularly by washing the element in a non
flammable solvent and let it dry thoroughly. Soak the element in
clean engine oil, squeeze out the excess oil and reinstall the air
cleaner element.
A fuel tank strainer is fitted to the unit. A clogged filter may cause
poor engine performance requiring the fuel filter to be removed
from the fuel tank and cleaned.
Inspect, clean and/or replace the spark plug regularly.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
It is advisable to wash the vibrator head and flexshaft with clean
water after use each day and before storing. This will ensure that
concrete does not accumulate on the exterior.
Ensure the cooling fins on the motor are kept unobstructed.
