STORAGE
The following steps should be taken to prepare your
Walk-Behind Power Trowel for extended storage.
1. Close fuel shut off valve.
2. Siphon excess gasoline from tank.
3. Start engine until it stops from lack of fuel. This will
use up all the fuel in the carburetor and prevent
formation of deposits due to evaporation of fuel.
4. Remove spark plug and pour 2 oz. of SAE-30 or
SAE-40 motor oil into the cylinder. Slowly crank the
engine 2 or 3 times to distribute the oil throughout
the cylinder. This will help prevent rust during
storage. Replace spark plug.
5. Store the unit in an upright position in a cool, dry,
well ventilated area.
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining your Walk-Behind Power Trowel will insure
long life to the machine and its components.
AIR CLEANER
- Keep air filter clean at all times. Wash
away dust and debris using a non-oil based cleaning
solvent. Let the filter dry before re-installing.
LUBRICATION
– Always check engine oil regularly.
Use proper engine oil as recommended. See chart
below. Fill crankcase to levels as recommended in
manufacture’s engine manual.
SPARK PLUG
–
Check and clean spark plugs
regularly. A fouled, dirty or carboned spark plug causes
hard starting and poor engine performance. Set spark
plug gap to recommended clearance. Refer to engine
manual.
BELT TENSION –
IMPORTANT!
If there is excessive belt play, there will be a decrease
in the impact force and erratic vibration, which could
cause machine damage. The normal belt play should
be 1/2” to 5/8” which is attained by depressing the top
section of the belt at the belt guard mounting bracket
location. When adjusting the belt make sure that the
clutch is in alignment with exciter pulley. Tighten all
engine mount bolts, adjust the two engine-stop bolts,
and tighten lock nuts.
