TROWEL TRANSPORTATION
LIFTING THE TROWEL
The lifting bail (Figure 1) provides an optimal lifting point
for the trowel. Using a crane or forklift to lift the trowel is
highly recommended. When lifting the trowel, attach a
chain or rope to the lifting bail.

LIFTING BAIL
WARNING
ALWAYS use extra care when lifting the trowel off the
ground.
MAKE SURE the lifting capacity of the crane
or forklift is sufficient for the weight of the trowel.
WARNING
BE CAREFUL while lifting the trowel. A dropped trowel can
cause
serious personal injury and damage to the trowel.
NEVER lift the trowel to unnecessary heights. NEVER
stand underneath the trowel while it is being lifted.
ALWAYS make sure the handle is secure, and only use
the manufacturer's approved lifting point. The trowel can
be lifted by the
lifting bail, using a crane or other lifting
device of adequate capacity.
NEVER lift the trowel by the
guard ring, as it may rotate and cause injury.
WARNING
The trowel is heavy and awkward to move around.
NEVER attempt to lift the trowel alone. ALWAYS use
proper heavy lifting procedures.
