control cable and other parts of the trowel on an as-needed basis.

Storing the Machine
The following steps should be taken to prepare the machine for extended storage:
1. Close the fuel shut-off valve.
2. Siphon excess gasoline from the tank.
3. Run the 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 the spark plug and pour 60 mL (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 the
spark plug.
5. Store the unit in an upright position in a cool, dry, well ventilated area.
