2. Steering the Riding Trowel
A slight “feathering motion” forward and backward with the left hand joystick is required to move
the machine in a straight path to the left. The same motion is required of the right joystick to
move to the right.
3. Stopping the Trowel
To stop the trowel’s 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].
This machine is equipped with a seat kill switch mechanism.
If in need of an emergency stop, simply turning the key off
or raising off the seat even while holding the right foot pedal
down, will stop the engine from running.
