4. SEAT ASSEMBLY
Remove protective wrapping from seat. The seat is
now ready to secure to the frame using included
washers and hex nuts. If the seat adjuster is
ordered, the slider bars must be positioned between
the seat and the frame using included screws to
secure the seat to the sliders, and then securing the
sliders to the frame as indicated above.
5. TRANSPORTER ASSEMBLY
The components of the transporter (handle, frame,
wheels, and parts bag) are shipped separately,
requiring some assembly. Extend the handle
outside the frame. Slide the handle along the frame
cross-bar to align the hole on the handle with the
hole on the “U” frame. Insert the large hitch pin (part
#12487) through the hole to secure the handle to
the “U” frame. Position one of the wheels on the
axle and secure in place by inserting pin (part
#10315) into the hole on the end of the axle. Repeat
procedure for the other wheel.
CAUTION:
The transporter is designed to be used on the
job site only. Do not use the transporter to tow
the machine off-site.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. STARTING PROCEDURES
* WARM TEMPERATURES
a) Prior to starting the trowel, check the engine and
gearbox oil levels. Be sure the fuel tank is full.
Fuel is not shipped with the unit. Before
attempting to start, fill the fuel tank. Check
engine and gearbox oil levels. WARRANTY IS
VOID IF RUN WITHOUT OIL. Fill tank with
safety approved fuel containers. DO NOT MIX
OIL WITH FUEL.
b) Maintain contact with the dead-man safety
switch. Engine will disengage and stop if safety
switch is released. Do not tape, tie-down, or
otherwise attempt to bypass safety device.
c) Turn ignition key all the way. Allow engine to
warm up before proceeding with full trowel
operation.
2. STARTING PROCEDURES
* COLD TEMPERATURES
Follow same procedure as above but allow for a
longer warm up period 3-5 min. (In cold weather oil
is much heavier to move. Extra time is required to
heat the oil.)
3. TO STOP ENGINE
a) Bring throttle to low idle, wait a few seconds.
b) Remove left foot from dead-man safety switch.
c) Turn off ignition key.
4. STEERING
Guiding the machine on the slab is quite simple but
does require some familiarity before actually working
with the machine. The controls respond as shown in
figure 2a below. Test the machine on a finished
section of the floor, with the blades in a flat position,
and the engine at a low revolution to gain the
necessary feel for the steering.
Figure 2a.
For straight line movement, move both handles as one in
the direction you wish to travel. Move the handles in
opposite directions to produce rotation on the machines
axis. Left handle forward, right handle backward for
clockwise rotation. Left handle backward, right handle
forward, for counter-clockwise rotation. Sideways
direction is achieved by sideways movement of the right
handle in the required direction of travel.
WARNING:
SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE MAY
RESULT DUE TO TEMPORARY LOSS OF
CONTROL IF OPERATED WITH EXCESS LIQUID
ON THE CONCRETE SURFACE.
