·The finishing work can be started immediately after at job of levelling. In the winter,
when the climate is damp or cold, it is necessary to increase waiting time for the finish
smoothing.
·The essential controls have been put on the guide rudder for the user, so that the
ISOPLAM TROWEL is very easy to manipulate. The excellent balancing allows
without to strive the correct working.
·The rudder is adjustable to height, so that the operator can work in a more
comfortable position or to facilitate the transport, reducing the encumbrance.
·The handle is part of the safety device, which when realest will turn of the motor.
·The inclination of the four blades with the flooring surface is adjusted by a wheel that
is situated at the centre of rudder.

6. Mounting and dismantling blades
and smoothing plate
·Warning! To manipulate carefully the blades to avoid damages and lesions.
It is obligatory to use the protection gloves against cuts.
·To switch off the motor (to disconnect the socket from the electric system).
·Warning! To verify the springs connection "A" in the mounting of floating
blades and of smoothing plate, to avoid damages to the user (see the picture 04).
·To loosen the tightening screws “B”with the proper key in the mounting of the
finishing and of the combination blades (see the picture 05).
·To clean the blades pivots and the blades.
7. Security working instructions
·The work place must be perfectly in order without risks and well-lit.
·Warning! To remove the foreign persons from the neighbourhoods, before to
begin the levelling work.
·To wear always all proper protections, which spectacles, leather gloves, close-
fitting clothes, helmet and proper footwear to protect oneself against the sparks
and splinters of materials during the work.
·In case of job in the places closed: like rooms, galleries, etc…To make sure that
there is sufficient air for the health, because the exhaust gas contain the carbon
monoxide (they can cause a consciousness leak and be mortal).
·It is forbidden the use of machine in the places exposed to the explosions or with
dangerous products in the neighbourhoods.

8. Working
·To move backwards and forwards the machine at circular arches in the
longitudinal direction of the floor.
·It recommend itself to keep away from the surface just worked, moving itself at
small footprints.
·THE LEVELLING CAN BE MADE GENERALLY IN TWO PHASES:
ØThe FLOATING JOB: it is the hand finishing with a wooden tool. It becomes
a flat surface, without due irregularity to the concrete flowing.
ØThe FINISHING WORK: it is the hand finishing with a metal tool. It becomes
a perfect flat and uniform surface.
·With the machine complete of floating blades executes itself the FLOATING JOB.
You can start when the concrete hardened, so that it is possible to walk over
without leaving the too evident footprints. It is possible to make this operation with
a good yield, using also smoothing plate.
·If it forms itself a concrete roll around at the diameter of the blades rotation, this
means the working has been started too soon.
·To not stay long in the same place to not cause potholes of the machine.
·The FINISHING JOB follows the FLOATING JOB using only the finishing or the
combination blades, it is possible to start the FINISHING JOB when from the
concrete floor every humidity trace are disappearance. To obtain a good result in
the cold or damp environments, it is necessary to increase the waiting time before
to start the FINISHING JOB. To ascertain oneself the correct moment to begin
the FINISHING JOB, it is sufficient to press the hand palm on the surface and start
when it not sticks more to the skin. To have a good finishing it is necessary to
make at least two passes. During the first passage, the blades must have a few
degrees of inclination, to not make a too strong pressure on the surface. While the
second passage must start at the latest possible, but before the concrete is
hardened, naturally increasing also the blades inclination.
·The excellent results of the levelling operations much depend on the quality of the
equipments and the ability of the user.

to make sure the rotation direction is that indicated by arrow on the belts guard. In
the contrary case it is absolutely forbidden the use of the machine; therefore to
contact your trust dealer or our Assistance Service Department (tel. [phone]
59290).
·The safety device doesn’t allow the start of machine if this has stopped for sudden
want of current.

·To fill the water tank, but before to remember to close the faucet.

11
10. Starting
·Warning! To read with attention the instructions before starting.
·Warning! IT RECOMMEND ITSELF THE MAXIMUM ATTENTION. To remove the
keys and the possible adjustment tools. To put always the guards. To jam the
advancing wheel with the proper hook.
·To read and to follow the instructions on the user manual for the diesel and
gasoline motors starting. Therefore to continue as follows:
1. –To turn on the fuel faucet;
2. –To adjust the STARTER in the ignition position;
3. –To keep the pulled lever that is at left side of the rudder (stop device for the motor
when it leaves itself the handle that will never permit the motor starting in lowered
position (this system is usually called “ dead man ”);
4. –To slowly pull the rope starting until to find the compression resistance, to continue
to slowly pull until to just pass it (see the picture 06);
5. – To release the rope wrapping it up again (see the picture 06);
6. –Therefore to pull with force (see the picture 07);
IF THE MOTOR FAILS TO START, TO REPEAT ALL OPERATIONS FROM 4 POINT
·The Starter with the electric motor happens pressing the handle lever. To stop the
machine is sufficient to leave the lever. All machines equipped with electric motor
have the low voltage system.
·To use the maximum warning on the blades and plate rotation during the motor
starting or pauses and during the job of floor smoothing.
