Operation CRT 48
4.10 Kohler—Starting
Before starting the operator must know the location and function of all controls.
1. Turn the engine keyswitch to the run position.
2. When the glow plug indicator light turns off, turn keyswitch to start position and
hold until the engine starts.
NOTICE:
Cranking the engine for more than 5 seconds can cause starter damage.
If the engine fails to start, release the keyswitch and wait 10 seconds before
operating the starter again.
3. Allow the engine to warm up before operating the trowel.
4.11 Stopping
To stop trowel movement, return control levers to their neutral position and release
pressure on the throttle foot pedal.
To stop the engine, turn the keyswitch to “O” (off).
4.12 Operation
To utilize your Wacker Neuson Ride-On Trowel to its fullest capacity, the machine
should be driven in the direction that the operator is facing. This will finish the
widest possible area, while giving the operator an excellent view of the slab surface
about to be troweled. When the machine reaches the end of the slab, make a 180°
U-turn, and repeat the straight line of direction to the other end of the slab.
Note:
During the break-in period, run the engine at 50% of full throttle. Refer to
Section New Machines.
NOTICE:
DO NOT use excessive pressure on the control levers. Excessive
pressure does not improve the reaction time of the machine and can damage the
steering controls.
NOTICE:
Attempting to use the trowel too early in the curing stage of the concrete
may result in an undesirable finish. Only experienced concrete finishers should
operate the trowel.
