to its fullest capacity the machine should be driven in the
direction the operator is facing. This will finish the widest possible area while giving the operator an excellent
view of the slab surface about to be troweled. When the machine reaches the end of the slab make a 180
degree turn and repeat the straight line of direction to the other end of the slab. To familiarize a new operator
with the Riding Trowel the following steps should be taken.

2. With the operator in the seat, show him the functions of the joysticks (B) and (C) and how to start the
machine. (refer to page 1A-10)
A hard level concrete slab with water on the surface is an ideal place for an operator to practice with the
machine. For practice pitch the blades up approximately 1/4" on the leading edge. Start by making the machine
hover in one spot and then practice driving the machine in a straight line and making 180 degree turns. Best
control is achieved at full RPM.
CAUTION:
After starting engine fully engage the throttle. This allows the engine to warm up quicker and also
engages the torque converter. At this time the machine’s rotors will begin turning.
CAUTION: DO NOT
use excessive pressure on the joysticks. Excessive pressure does not increase the reac-
tion time of the machine and can damage steering controls.
1.11 Stopping
To stop the trowels movement, let go of the joysticks (B) and (C). They will return to their neutral position. Also
release pressure on the right foot pedal (E).
CAUTION:
New to this machine is the seat kill switch mechanism. If in need of an emergency stop, simply turning the key
off or raising off the seat while holding the right foot pedal down, will stop the engine from running.
