STR46SPVGH — NEW MACHINE SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Trowel Pre-Set-Up Instructions
The purpose of this section is to assist the user in setting up a
NEW
trowel. If the trowel is already assembled, (seats, handles,
knobs and battery), this section can be skipped.
Before packaging and shipping this Ride-On Power Trowel was
run and tested at the factory. If there are problems, please let us
know.
Control Handle Assembly
The steering control handles are not attached to the trowel's two
lower handles at the time of shipment. To attach the steering
control handles to the lower handle assemblies perform the
following:
1.
Remove the bolts from the plastic bag tied to the control
towers.
2.
Remove all protective wrapping and straps from the control
handles.
3.
Slip the top (loose) control handle piece into the base of
the corresponding handle, making sure to line up the holes.
4.
Install the bolt through the lined up holes and tighten the
acorn nut onto the threaded end.
5.
Pay close attention to any wires that may be inside the
control handles.
DO NOT
pinch or cut any wires during
installation.
6.
Remove the two knobs from the plastic bag for the pitch
control tower cranks and install the knobs onto the tower
crank levers.
1.
Remove the seat from the protective wrapping.
2.
Remove the bolts on the bottom of the seat, and place seat
on the seat mounting plate, then insert the bolts through
the holes or slots on the seat mounting plate and tighten.
Seat Assembly
The seat is not installed on the trowel for shipping purposes.
To attach the seat perform the following:
To install the battery on the trowel, make sure that the battery is
well seated in the battery box. The positive cable , normally red,
is associated with the "
+
" symbol on the battery. The negative
cable, normally black, is associated with the "
-
" symbol on the
battery. Connect the positive cable to the positive terminal on
the battery first, then connect the negative cable to the negative
terminal. Close the plastic battery box cover and secure the
battery box.
Use all safety precautions specified by the battery
manufacturer when working with the battery. See further
specific safety information on page 10 & 11 of this manual.
The new ride-on trowel cannot be put
into service 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.
NOTE
NOTE
Models equipped with adjustable
height handles are adjusted by
placing the bolt through the set of
holes that bring the handles to a
height most comfortable for the
operator.
NOTE
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.
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
manufacturer instructions.
