WALK BEHIND POWER TROWEL INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

 

 

QUALITY ASSURANCE / MACHINE BREAK IN 

 

The  Bartell  Walk-Behind  Power  Trowel  is  the  product  of  extensive  engineering 

development designed to give long life and unmatched performance.  The Walk-Behind 

Power Trowels are shipped partially assemble, and only require filling with fuel and a brief 

check of lubricant levels in preparation for operation.

 

 

You  can  help  ensure that  your  Power  Trowel  will  perform at  top levels  by  observing  a 

simple routing on first use.  Consider that your new Power Trowel is like a new car.  Just 

as you would break in a new car to the road or any new machine to the job, you should 

start gradually and build up to full use.  Learn what your machine can do and how it will 

respond.  Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for run-in times.  Full throttle and 

control  may  be  used  after  this  time  period,  as  allowed  by  material.    This  will  serve  to 

further  break  in  the  machine  on  your  specific  application,  as  well  as  provide  you  with 

additional practice using the machine. 

 

We thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing a Bartell Walk-

Behind Power Trowel and wish you many years of satisfied use.
