Pre-Start Procedures
Propane Check (if using propane as a fuel source)
• Make sure that 80% of the tank is full.
Gearbox Oil
• Determine if the gearbox oil is low by removing the oil plug located on the side of the
gearbox. The correct level of the lubrication oil should be to the bottom of the fill plug.
• If lubrication oil begins to seep out as the drain plug is being removed, then it can be
assumed that the gearbox has a sufficient amount of oil.
• If lubrication oil does not seep out as the drain plug is being removed, fill with type Allen
Oil Kit P/N 048386 gearbox lubricant oil until the oil filler hole overflows.
V-Belt Check
• A worn or damaged V-belt can adversely affect the performance of the trowel. If a V-belt
is defective or worn simply replace the V-belt as outlined in the maintenance section of
this manual.
Belt Guard Check
• Check for damage, lose or missing hardware.

stopped.
