•
Before commanding the start of the
trowel machine the operator must make sure
that he is in good stability and has a good point
of support to avoid sudden movements and
possible loss of control of the machine both
during the start and during the working
phases;
•
Check that the
stop levers are
operational;
•
Start the
machine by following the instructions in the
next paragraph and release both levers at the
same time to see if they work.
4.3 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not carry out repairs or maintenance
when the machine is running.
!
WARNING
Wear can make the blades of
the
trowel machine sharp
enough to generate hazards for the
operator. It is necessary to use
protective gloves during all phases of
maintenance
and pay particular
attention.
During the working phases keep the
limbs at a safe distance from the
rotating parts and check that all the
guards are present and efficient.
4.4 STARTING THE WORKING
CYCLE
After performing the preliminary
checks on startup described in the
previous paragraph (para. 4.3) the machine
can be started by following the instructions
below:
•
Mount the trowel disc on blades
following the instructions provided in para.
6.2.3;
•
With the trowel disc on the ground, lift
the trowel with adequate lifting gear as
described in PAR. 3.2 and lay it down on the
disc;
•
Engage the blades of the machine
inside the tabs (2 or 4 depending on model) of
the trowel disc;
•
Place the engine start switch to ON-1
(FIG.4.2);
! WARNING
To avoid slippage and loss of
control of the trowel when starting
the engine, the operator must
always have a good foothold and a
good grip in order to obtain full
control of the machine, avoiding to
generate situations of danger that
could cause damage and injury to
the operator. During the phases of
work pay particular attention to
possible loss of control of the trowel
machine.
IMPORTANT!
In the case in which the work must be
carried out on raised construction sites or
on floors with holes and voids larger than
20cm x 20cm, it is necessary to install
safety rails or barriers that have a
minimum height of 100 cm from the floor
to avoid that loss of control of the trowel
and generate dangerous situations.
