2. Introduction
Intended use
The K-150 is a light bullfloat with a blade width of 1.50 meter used for levelling freshly poured concrete floors.
.Working
The K-150 works well without guiding rails. K-150 has an in height adjustable steering handle which is directly
connected to the blade. The specially designed shape of the blade together with the
low weight prevents ridges on the concrete surface. K-150 is driven by an electric or petrol engine.

Wear a safety helmet and hearing protection.
Wear safety glasses, working gloves which do not conduct electricity and protective clothing.
Ensure that all symbols on the machine, can always be clearly read.
Be careful when lifting and carrying the bullfloat. Do not bend forwards when picking up the machine, but bend your
knees.
When cleaning the machine, ensure that no water or cleaning detergents get into the motorhousing.
When the machine is not being used for longer periods of time, then it must be stored in a dry and clean area.
Regular maintenance of the machine promotes safe operation.
The following safety-aspects specifically apply to those Lievers products which are equipped with an electrical drive
unit:
Place the wires between the electrical source and the work place in such a way, that they cannot be damaged and
your colleagues cannot trip over them.
Do not use the machine in an explosion endangered area.
Check that the electrical source complies with the local valid regulations.
Use an electrical source which is provided with an earth leakage switch or attach a safety transformer between the
electrical mains and the machine.
Regularly check the connections of the supply-cable to the switch.
Ensure that the wall socket and possible connections between the extension leads are protected against dampness.
Do not pull the plug out of the wall socket or extension lead by its lead.
Check the feeder cable’s outer casing and if in use extension lead’s outer casing before you connect the machine to
the electrical mains. The outer casing may not be damaged. Replace the cable if you cannot read the marks on the
outer casing anymore.
Check the machine’s cable-connections before you connect the machine to the electrical mains. The cables must be
properly connected.
Switch off the machine, when the electrical power cuts off. This prevents the machine from starting suddenly when
the electrical power comes on again.
Disconnect the electrical supply to the machine, before you start to clean or maintain the machine.
Ensure that the ventilation slots of the machine are free from dirt and moisture.

8/15 Operation manual K-150, revision 3: 01-10-2013
The following safety-aspects specifically apply to those Lievers products which are equipped with a petrol-engine:
Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation in spaces which are surrounded by walls.
inhaling exhaust gasses can damage your health.
To avoid getting an electric shock, do not touch the spark plug or spark plug cap while the engine is running
Check for fuel leaks before running the machine.
Wear working-gloves, safety glasses and protecting clothing during refuelling.
Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation during refuelling.
Refuelling is only allowed after the engine has been cooled off sufficiently. Refuelling, while the engine is hot, might
lead to a very dangerous situation.
It is strictly forbidden to refuel:
in the direct vicinity of open fire or other flammable materials,
while smoking cigarettes etc.
in explosion endangered spaces.

10/15 Operation manual K-150, revision 3: 01-10-2013
Operation and use of Type K 150-E:
1. Check that the K-150 is properly assembled and make sure that the switch is in the “O” position.
2. Place the K-150 in the direct vicinity of where you are going to smooth the surface of the concrete.
3. Push the plug of the vibrating-unit’s feeder cable into the wall socket.
4. Place the K-150 on the surface of the freshly poured concrete-floor.
5. Switch on the machine (Stand I)
6. Now start to smooth the surface of the concrete-floor by moving the K-150 backwards in
a slow but steady motion.
7. After having finished one lane of concrete, switch off the K-150: Stand O.
Tip: If the processed concrete-surface is not smooth or level enough, repeat the procedures
5,6, and 7.
8. Pull the feeder cable’s plug of the K-150 out of the wall socket.
9. Clean the machine with water and a brush.
10. After use, place the K-150 on a dry and stable surface.
Fig. 8: Work situation during smoothing and compacting of the concrete floor.
Operation and use of K-150 ER
1. Check that the K-150 is properly assembled and that the switch is in the OFF- position.
2. Place the K-150 in the direct vicinity of where you are going to smoothen the surface of the
the concrete-floor.
3. Put the plug of the drive-unit’s feeder cable in the wall socket.
4. Place the K-150 on the surface of the freshly poured concrete, and turn the speed regulator slowly to the
required revolutions.
5. Now start to smooth the surface of the concrete floor by moving the K-150 backwards in a slow but steady
motion.
6. After having finished one lane of concrete, switch of the K-150 by turning the speed regulator’s knob to the
position –MIN-, you will hear a “CLICK”. Tip: If the processed concrete-surface is not smooth or level enough,
repeat the procedures 4, 5 and 6.
7. Pull the plug of the feeder cable out of the wall socket.
8. Clean the machine with water and a brush.
