BLADES
Inspect the trowel blades for wear or damage (Figure 24). If
one blade is worn out while the others look new, there could
be a blade pitch problem. Refer to the
Maintenance
section
of this manual for the blade pitch adjustment procedure.
Replace any worn or damaged blades immediately.
Figure 24. Blade Inspection
CENTRIFUGAL SAFETY STOP SWITCH
Your trowel is equipped with a centrifugal safety stop switch
(Figure 25). This switch should be tested every time the
engine is started.
The switching mechanism should operate freely, and should
always be kept in this condition. With the switch in the
OFF
position, the engine should not start or run. The purpose
of this switch is to stop the engine in a runaway situation
(i.e. the operator releases the handle during operation).
