B-SERIES TROWEL — INITIAL START-UP (ELECTRIC MOTOR)
Starting The Electric Motor (Single Phase 115/230 Volts)
The electric motor used on the B-Series trowel has two operating
voltages:
■
115 VAC Single Phase, 2 Horsepower
■
230 VAC Single Phase, 2 horsepower
1. Lift the trowel onto the slab in the same manner as described
on page 24 ("
Lifting the Trowel Onto a Slab
").
2. Connect one end of a
heavy duty extension cord
to the
AC power plug on the trowel.
3. Connect the other end of the extension cord to an AC power
source.
Extension Cable
When electric power is to be provided to the trowel at some
distance from the power source, extension cords are normally
used. Cables should be sized to allow for distance in length and
amperage so that the voltage drop between the power source
and point of use (trowel) is held to a minimum. Use the cable
selection chart (Table 5) as a guide for selecting proper extension
cable size.
NOTE
Specification and part number
are subject to change without
notice.
At 115 VAC the motor should draw about 16.6
amps and at 230 VAC the motor should draw
about 8.4 amps.

4. Squeeze the micro-switch lever ( Figure 26) to begin trow-
eling. This lever will act an
emergency stop switch
. When
this lever is released, voltage to the electric motor will be
interrupted. When this lever is squeezed the voltage will
resume. This can only be accomplished if the trowel's power
ON/OFF
switch is in the
ON
position.

NOTE
Make sure to connect the
correct
AC voltage
(115 or 230 VAC) to the electric motor.
Connecting an incorrect voltage could cause
serious damage to the electric motor. The
identification plate located on the motor will
indicate the motor's voltage requirement.
