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 feathering motion is required of the left joystick to
move to the right.
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].
New to this machine is the seat kill switch mechanism. If in need of an emergency stop, simply turning the toggle
switch off or raising off the seat while holding the right foot pedal down, will stop the engine from running.
