HAL 150 AND 300 — OPERATION
This section describes the operation of the HAL 150 &
300 Bullfloats.
Tip: For the location and description of the Bullfloat’s parts,
which are mentioned in the text, refer to the illustration figure

How to assemble the HAL 150 & 300 Bullfloats.
When delivered the Bullfloat is not ready for use.You only have
to carry out the following procedures to assemble them:
1. Connect the switch (an electronic speed regulator, or a
gas throttle), to the operating handle by means of the
bracket and the butterfly nut. Now lock the bracket by
tightning the butterfly nut. (Fig. No. 2.0)
2. Stick the operating handle into the shaft of the motor unit
frame.Make sure that the operating handle is locked
properly.
How to adjust the trowel blade angle.
Use position (I), when smoothing freshly poured concrete.
(Fig. No. 2.1)
Use position (II), in the event you want to smooth the same

Operation and use of the Bullfloat
This section describes how to operate and use the Bullfloat.In
the text are numbers in brackets. These numbers are position
numbers and they correspond to the numbers in the parts list
of the corresponding figures.
Careful: Read the safety instructions before you switch
on the apparatus.
Careful: Prevent the Bullfloat, from sinking into the concrete.
After the motor has been switched on, immediately move the
Bullfloat backwards.
Tip: Before the Bullfloat is brought into action, first compact
the freshly poured concrete floor with a poker-vibrator while at
the same time adjust the height of the floor by means of a
laser device.
Tip: Pour concrete lanes of approx. 3 ft. wide and approx. 15
ft. long. You can finish this surface in one pass without any
problem.
Tip: When using a low slump concrete, move the Bullfloat
slowly across the surface of the concrete. When using a high
slump concrete, move the Bullfloat faster across the surface
of the concrete.
