5.16 Operating Guidelines
Follow the guidelines below to use your Ride-On Trowel to its fullest capacity.
■ Steer the machine in the direction that the operator is facing. This method allows
the operator to finish the widest possible area, while giving the operator an
excellent view of the slab surface to be troweled.
■ When the machine reaches the end of the slab:
■ Make a 180° U-turn and repeat the straight line of direction to the other end
of the slab.
■ Or, move the machine laterally (sideways) and then travel backward to the
other end of the slab.
NOTICE ■ Only experienced concrete finishers should operate the trowel.
■ Do not use excessive pressure on the joysticks. Excessive pressure does not
improve the response time of the machine and can damage the steering
controls.
■ Attempting to use the trowel too early in the curing state of the concrete may
result in an undesirable finish.
