3. Technical specifications
3.1. Machine description
The double rotary float machine model MK8 120
has been designed and constructed to float
concrete and bituminous floors of warehouses,
car parks, cycle tracks, parking areas, pavements,
etc. For this purpose the machine is equipped with
two rotors, one turning clockwise and the other
anticlockwise.
Both the engine and the operator’s seat are fixed
to a frame connected to both rotors.
The very low position of the seat has the following
advantages:
•Superior planarity of the floor surface (as a
result of lowering of the machine barycenter)
•Perfect vision
The seat can be adjusted to the most comfortable
driving position for the operator. All the steering
components, joysticks, joints, drive shaft and
reduction gears are protected by a tunnel to
prevent cement encrustations from accumulating
over time, which could lead to more rapid wear of
the mechanical components.

5. Use
5.1. Preliminary checks
Before proceeding with starting and use of the
float machine, do the following
1. Check the oil level in the engine and, if
necessary, top up (see Par. 4.5).
2. Check the fuel level in the tank and, if
necessary, refuel (see Par. 4.4).
3. Check that all the protection devices are
present and working.
4. Adjust the seat position horizontally to
obtain the best possible working position
(see Par.3.4)
5. Check that the blade is inclined by at least
1 cm in order to have better control over
the float machine when starting (for
adjustment see Par. 3.5 )
6. Ensure that the float machine is
positioned on a flat surface with a
capacity of more than 300 kg/m2and that
there is sufficient space around the float
machine (at least 2 m).
7. Check that the two drive control levers are
in perpendicular position and adjust if
necessary (see Par. 3.6).
5.2. Starting
In order to prevent slippage and losing
control of the float machine when
starting and during the working phases
the operator must be seated in the

driver’s seat on the float machine and
always hold the accelerator pedal in the
idle position.
To start the float machine operate as follows
(fig.9):
1. Sit in the driver’s seat after appropriately
adjusting its position and with the feet
resting on the footboard.
2. Check that the drive control (2) is in
neutral position.
3. (for petrol-powered engines only) Close
the CHOKE.
4. Position the accelerator hand-lever or
accelerator pedal (Fig.1) in the idle
position.
5. Hold one emergency stop lever (4)
pushed and turn the start key (3).
6. (for petrol-powered engines only) After
starting open the CHOKE.
The engine is started at reduced rpm, the clutch
has not yet engaged and the rotors do not yet
rotate (the clutch engages at 1500 rpm). In order
to prevent slippage which might lead to rapid wear
of the clutch, firmly push the accelerator to reach
a value of 2500 rpm.

For more specific information on starting
consult the engine instruction manual.
5.3. Driving the float machine
Use the machine at reduced speed until
you have fully mastered it and all the
possible movements.
To drive the machine in the desired direction,
there are two control levers (Fig.1 No. 10 and
11). Move the control slowly and not jerkily. To
stop the float machine movement return the
control levers to the rest position. The control
lever positions and the relevant movements are
described on page 3 of this manual.
5.4. Use
For reasons of stability it is
recommended to use the machine on a
flat, stable and horizontal surface. Do
not use the machine on slopes of more
than 4%-5% gradient.
During th
e working phases, be
particularly careful not to lose control of
the float machine (for example, due to
too much water on the surface to be
worked).
Check that there are no obstacles or
obstructions on the working surface or
projecting parts which may hinder
rotation of the blades
Preparing the surface:
Use a mechanical vibrating float or manual float to
level the floor surface in order to obtain a well-
compacted concrete footing and thus prepare the
ideal surface for floating and finishing. The float
machine does not improve planarity of a badly
floated or levelled floor.
Floating phase:

IMPORTANT: Before starting the
floating operation, check that the floats
have been mounted correctly on the
blades (Par. 7.5)
The floor is ready for the first pass when the
imprint of the shoe heel sinks into the concrete by
about 2-3 mm when walking on it.
The floating pass intervals depend on the ambient
factor, temperature and atmospheric conditions
(cold or hot season). On average about 250-300
m2of surface are floated in 10 minutes.
When the concrete is still fresh, take care not to
work continuously on the same spot since,
considering the weight of the float machine, you
might cause damage to the planarity of the floor
surface.
During the floating phase the floats must not
bounce on the surface; this might be caused by
dirt between the blades and the floats
(if necessary, clean them after you have finished
work following the instructions given in the
paragraph on cleaning).
Finishing phase
When floating has been completed, detach the
floats from the blades and clean the cement that
has collected during the floating phase off the
blades, the spider and the protection rim. Turn the
blade-lifting knob clockwise (Fig. 4 No.1 and 2)
until the blades are inclined by about 1 cm for the
first pass; for the subsequent smoothing
operations continue increasing the blade
inclination until obtaining the desired finish.
Once again, the time between one pass and the
next is determined by the atmospheric conditions
(hot or cold season) and by the amount of water in
the concrete. If the concrete has hardened too
quickly in some areas, it can be moistened by
spraying a small amount of water using the button
(Fig. 9 No.5) located on the control bars in order

to obtain the degree of finish desired.

IMPORTANT: Switch off the engine
after each operation. Never leave the
float machine standing with the engine
running, especially during the floating
phase when the concrete is still fresh.
5.5. Stopping

For more specific information on
stopping consult the engine instruction
manual.
(fig.9) To stop the float machine move the
accelerator (2); close the fuel cock and remove
the start key from the control panel (3).
5.6. Stopping in emergency conditions
the seat is connected to a micro switch which cut
the electric power to the engine; in case of an
emergency, malaise or when losing control of the
float machine, immediately stand up.
6. Handling and transport
Horizontal movements
The float machine can comfortably be moved on
horizontal surfaces on construction sites using the
special trolley.
1. Pull the key out of the control panel.
2. Holding the handle of the trolley raised,
position it on the float machine straddling
the engine in such a way that the two
hooks near the wheels slide underneath
the protection rim until slipping into the
catch found under the bar of the rim.
3. Lower the handle of the trolley towards
the ground until the pivoting wheel
touches the floor and, holding the trolley
firmly down with the feet or with one hand,
hook it to the protection rim of the float
machine.
4. Move the machine by pushing or pulling
the handle until arriving at the new place
of work.
5. To unhook the trolley detach the hook
from the catch.
The moment the float machine is
unhooked from the trolley, it jolts upward
due to the effect of the machine weight;
therefore, firmly hold the trolley handle
during this operation.
Vertical movements
Never leave the floats attached to the
float machine when lifting it more than
100 cm off the ground since it could
detach and cause damage to persons
and things.
Lift the float machine using the lifting attachments
(fig. 7 No. 2).
To lift the machine from one level to another use a
hoisting crane or lift truck of suitable capacity with
respect to the weight indicated in the technical
characteristics.
To transport the machine on a truck place the
blades in horizontal position using the control
knobs; transporting the float machine with the
blades inclined may damage the blade lifting
system.
7. Maintenance
1. All the maintenance, inspection
and cleaning operations of the
machine must be carried out only
when the machine is off and cold.
2. Pull out the start key.
3.
Before proceeding with
maintenance, thoroughly clean the
float machine.
4. When the blades are worn they
may become sharp. Therefore,
during all the maintenance phases,
wear protective gloves and pay
particular attention to their position.
7.1. Engine maintenance
See the engine use and maintenance manual.
7.2. Machine maintenance
The hydraulic float machine model MK8 120 does
not require any particular maintenance,
nonetheless it is good practice to do the following:
Daily operations
1. When you have finished work, thoroughly
clean off the encrustations that have
accumulated on the float machine during the
working phases.
2. Clean the engine air filter, especially if
working in dusty conditions (follow the
instructions in the engine manual).
3. Check tightness of the screws and bolts
of the protection guards and the blades and,
if defective, replace them.
Weekly operations
1. Check wear and tensioning of the belts:
grease the cardan shafts.

2. Check the battery charge and the level of
water in the cells, if necessary, top up
with distilled water only.
3. Clean any oxidation off the two battery
poles.
Operations after 100 hours of work
Check the oil level in the two reduction gears (see
Par. 7.8).
Once the power trowel guarantee has expired, the
machines should be subjected to a complete check-
up once a year. You can address to all our
authorized dealers all around the world.
Barikell srl will refuse all responsibility in case of
incident whenever the check-ups won’t be done.
7.3. Battery
If the machine is not used for a long period of
time, disconnect the battery removing the cable
terminal from the positive pole (Fig.9 No.4). For
maintenance consult the instruction and use
leaflet of the battery.

IMPORTANT:
Recharge the battery in a dry place.
Protect the contacts from dirt and water
stagnation. Do not spray with water
Replacing the battery ( fig. 8)
Handle the battery with particular care
since it contains acid;
1. Remove the protective cover unhooking
the two hooks.
2. Remove the connection terminals (3 and
4) and take care to first remove the
negative one (3) in order to prevent a
short-circuit.
3. Extract the battery (1) and replace it with
one with the same characteristics (45 Ah)
Dispose
of the battery in the
appropriate manner in accordance
with the regulations in force in the
country of use.
7.4. Cleaning the machine
Clean the float machine at the end of each
working day to prevent that cement hardens and
forms encrustations on the machine. Wash the
dirty parts with a brush and water. Wet the parts
exposed to cement with “stripping” oil (never fuel
oil). Do not oil the rubber moving parts (belts,
etc.).
7.5. Replacing the floats
Be careful when installing the machine: one rotor
turns clockwise and the other anticlockwise,
therefore you need to check that the various
components have been properly arranged.
Before mounting the floats, check that the blades
are clean, i.e. that there are no traces or residues
of cement mixes. The blades must be placed in
horizontal position using the knobs (Fig.4 No.1
and 2).
To replace the floats proceed as follows:
Slightly lift the float machine off the ground (about
10 cm).
Mount the floats on the blades checking the
correct direction of rotation.
When the floats have been mounted, reposition
the float machine on the ground.
7.6. Replacing the blades
Always check the state of wear of the blades and
if they are damaged or bent, replace them. For
proper functioning they need to be replaced
entirely.
To replace them proceed as follows (Fig.10):
−Clean any working residue off the
float machine.
−Open the guard (2) by unscrewing
the two fixing bolts (1) and hook the guard to
the chain (3).
−Slightly lift the float machine off the
ground (about 10 cm).
−Remove the fixing bolts (5) of the
blades (4) on each arm.
−Mount the new blades fixing the bolts
with the respective split washers (check the
state of the bolts and replace them if
necessary).
−When the blades have been
mounted, reposition the float machine on the
ground.
−Reposition the guard (2) and tighten
the bolts (1).
7.7. Replacing the belts
(Fig.11) To replace the belts, operate as follows:
−Dismantle the belt protection guard
(2).
−Slightly lift the float machine off the
ground (about 10 cm) in order to be able to
freely turn the pulley and the clutch and thus
easily remove and replace the belts.
−Remove the worn belts and replace
them with others of the same size.
−Reposition the float machine on the
ground.
−Reposition the guard (2).

7.8. Reduction gear oil level
To check the oil level in the reduction gears follow
the instructions below:
(Fig.12) There are two caps on the side of the two
reduction gears; the top cap (1) determines the oil
level in the gearbox. Pay particular attention when
you notice oil in the lower part of the float
machine; clean and check where the leak comes
from and take the appropriate action.
Should the oil need to be topped up, use Mobil
Glygoyle 30 synthetic oil or similar.
7.9. Storage instructions.
Never store the machine with fuel in the
tank in pla
ces where the fuel vapors
might come into contact with flames
and/or sparks
If you can foresee that the machine will not be
used for more than one month, drain the fuel from
the tank in order to prevent the formation of
rubbery deposits, and detach the battery.
If storing the machine in places where the
temperature might drop to below 0°C drain out the
water tank.

All new machines sold are covered by guarantee
for the structure and the use of suitable materials
on the following conditions:
1) The guarantee is valid for a period of twelve
(12) months.
2) The manufacturer undertakes to repair or
replace at his own discretion those parts or
units that are found to be defective.
3) The parts repaired or replaced are covered
by the same guarantee as the original parts,
hence with validity of twelve months after the

4) The manufacturer reserves an appropriate
time to execute the work necessary and
deliver the spare parts.
5) All the transport expenses for the
replacement parts covered by this guarantee
are at the expense of the purchaser.
6) Any repairs or operations carried out during
the period of guarantee by unauthorised
persons shall lead to forfeiture of the
guarantee.
7) During the period of guarantee the parts
replaced become the property of the
manufacturer.
8) For components not manufactured by us the
conditions of guarantee of the original
suppliers are valid. Any claims will hence be
transferred to the purchaser.
9) This guarantee is valid solely for the original
purchaser. Our liability expires:
a) the moment the original owner transfers
ownership of the machine
b) if modifications are made to the machine
c) if parts and devices not manufactured by
us are added to the machine.
10) We do not undertake any liability for any
damage caused to the floor by bad
functioning or stopping of the float machine
during the working phases.
11) The guarantee does not cover damages
deriving from excessive stress (e.g.
continuing to operate the machine after
ascertaining a fault), improper use or
maintenance, use of unsuitable working
materials as well as failed observance of the
instructions for use. The same is valid for
damage caused by normal wear.
12) For the engines, the conditions of guarantee
of the original suppliers are valid.
13) The conditions of guarantee established are
binding for all Barikell Srl dealers. Any other
agreements will be considered valid only if
confirmed in writing by Barikell Srl.
