hearing protection, steel-toed boots and other protective
devices required by the job or city and state regulations.

NEVER operate this equipment when not
feeling well due to fatigue, illness or when
under medication.

NEVER operate this equipment under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.

ALWAYS check the equipment for loosened threads or
bolts before starting.

DO NOT use the equipment for any purpose other than
its intended purposes or applications.

ALWAYS clear the work area of any debris, tools, etc.
that would constitute a hazard while the equipment is
in operation.
NOTICE

This equipment should only be operated by trained and
qualified personnel 18 years of age and older.

Whenever necessary, replace nameplate, operation and
safety decals when they become difficult read.

Manufacturer does not assume responsibility for any
accident due to equipment modifications. Unauthorized
equipment modification will void all warranties.
NEVER
use accessories or attachments that are not
recommended by Multiquip for this equipment. Damage
to the equipment and/or injury to user may result.
ALWAYS know the location of the nearest
fire extinguisher.
ALWAYS know the location of the nearest
first aid kit.
ALWAYS know the location of the nearest phone or
keep
a phone on the job site.
Also, know the phone numbers
of the nearest ambulance, doctor and

SAFETY INFORMATION
INVERTER SAFETY
DANGER

NEVER operate the equipment in an explosive
atmosphere or near combustible materials.An
explosion or fire could result causing severe
bodily harm or even death.
CAUTION

NEVER attempt service on a running machine.
NOTICE

ALWAYS keep the machine in proper running condition.

Fix damage to machine and replace any broken parts
immediately.

ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being
used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location
out of the reach of children and unauthorized personnel.

USE the inverter away from direct sunlight, dust and rain.
This product is of dust and water proof structure equivalent
to JIS IP56, but if water is splashed during operation or
used on water puddle, damage might occur.

DO NOT use more than theThe maximum number of the
vibrators determined and specified for the inverter. If this
number is exceeded, malfunction of inverter might occur.

DO NOT use electronic devices such as a computer near
the inverter. The noise from the inverter might interfere or
damage such devices.

DO NOT use with generators equipped with GFCI
(Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter).Replace with a
generator not equipped with GFCI and use it. GFCI has
very high sensitivity and high-speed ground-fault circuit
characteristics (5 ± 1mA, 0.25 seconds), so the inverter
cannot be started.

NEVER use an inverter that cannot be started or stopped
with the circuit protector switch.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
CAUTION

Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, reinforcing bar, etc.

When using inverter, always use grounding wire to prevent
electric shock.

Operate inverter only at the specified voltage indicated
on the nameplate.
DO NOT spray water on the machine.
DO NOT
yank the cord to disconnect it from the
receptacle. Grasp the plug itself to disconnect it.
ALWAYS
make sure the circuit protector switch on the
machine is in the OFF position when not in use and
before inserting the power plug into an AC receptacle.
Power Cord/Cable Safety
DANGER
ALWAYS
use a grounded 3-wire extension cord that has
a 3-prong grounding plug, and a 3-pole receptacle that
accepts the plug on the concrete vibrator motor.
DO NOT
REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG!
NEVER let power cords or cables lay in water.
NEVER use damaged or worn
cables or cords when
connecting equipment to generator. Inspect for cuts in
the insulation.
NEVER grab or touch a live power
cord or cable with wet hands. The
possibility exists of electrical shock,
electrocution or death.

Make sure power cables are securely connected.
Incorrect connections may cause electrical shock and
damage to the vibrator motor.

SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION
Ensure that cables and cords will not be tripped over.
NOTICE
ALWAYS make certain that proper power or extension
cord has been selected for the job.
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor
use and so marked.
Use only the gauge wire and length of cord recommended
for the motor size. If in doubt, go to the next heavier gauge.
(The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.)
TRANSPORTING SAFETY
NOTICE
Do not pull or lift the inverter by the cable only. Cable
damage and short circuit might occur.
Make the cable into a bundle, then hold the middle handle
of the inverter when transporting or moving. Make sure
that the inverter will not touch the nearby objects such
as iron frames and bars.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
NOTICE

Dispose of hazardous waste properly.
Examples of potentially hazardous waste
are used motor oil, fuel and fuel filters.
DO NOT use food or plastic containers to dispose of
hazardous waste.
DO NOT pour waste, oil or fuel directly onto the ground,
down a drain or into any water source.
