towers.

Battery Setup
This trowel was shipped with a wet charged battery. This battery
may need to be charged for a brief period of time as per the

well seated in the battery box and the terminals are properly
connected. Close the plastic battery box cover and secure the
battery box.

of trowel you have. J and B series trowels have slots
on the seat mounting plate that allow

aft
adjustment of the seat. H-series trowels have a seat
that is mounted on tracks, similar to an automobile
seat. This seat can be adjusted fore and aft via the
control lever under the front of the seat.

until the pre-setup installation instructions are
completed. These pre-setup instructions only need
to be performed at the time of unpacking a
NEW
trowel.

battery manufacturer when working with the
battery.
