3.3 Lubrication
1. Engine oil
The long life and successful operation of any piece of machinery is dependent on frequent
and thorough lubrication
Before using the trowel, always check your engine for oil. Use proper engine oil as
recommended in the engine manufacturer’s manual. Fill crankcase to levels as
recommended.
2. Trowel
The drive system, gearbox and pitch posts are equipped with several grease fittings. Grease
these fittings once a week, or every 20 hours, to prevent wear.
Use a general purpose grease and add one to two shots of grease at each fitting.
3.4 Transporting Trowels
ALWAYS turn the engine off and remove the key from the machine before moving or
transporting machine.
To hoist the trowel:
1. Attach a sling or chains through the tie-down point (a) on each side of the guard ring.
NOTICE: Make sure lifting device has enough capacity to hold machine (see identification
plate on machine for weight).
2. Use the trolley wheel for transportation.
