Transporting Trowel Procedures
Optional dolly jacks are available for short moves or to aid in servicing the trowel. Install dolly jacks as
follows:
1. Inspect dolly jack for serviceability and damage.
2. Place the riding trowel on firm level ground.
3. Tie steering levers to the frame to prevent them from tipping forward when trowel is being lifted.
4. Insert the front dolly jack fully into the holes [K] in the mainframe of the riding trowel. The front
dolly jacks are equipped with short lifting tubes while the rear dolly jacks have long lifting tubes.
5. Insert the rear dolly jacks with the long lifting tubes into the holes [L] provided in the rear of the
mainframe. The holes in the mainframe are located directly opposite the front holes.
6. Turn jack handles clockwise to lift trowels and counter-clockwise to lower trowel.
The dolly jack lifting system is designed for short moves and to aid in servicing the trowel. It is not a
substitute for a towing system or trailer. An optional lifting bridle [N] is available and recommended for
lifting the trowel. Attach the bridle to the two lifting points on the trowel. Refer to Figure 3.9 and 3.10.
Secure steering levers to frame to prevent them from
tipping forward when the towel is being lifted.
