START CORRECTLY – START SAFELY
Before starting, check for proper functioning of all
operation and shutdown controls. Check all
controls to be sure they are in the correct startup
position. Know the proper starting procedure for
your trowel. Follow the manufacturer’s operational
instructions.
WALK-BEHIND TROWELS
• Ensure that the operator is familiar with the
trowel and is trained on its operation.
• Ensure the operator is well rested, not fatigued,
is alert, and not impaired in any way
(medications, drugs, alcohol, etc.).
• Do not start or operate the trowel if the drive train
will not disengage. Centrifugal force between the
trowel and surface when starting can cause
uncontrolled handle movement that can cause
serious injury. The handle must not move while
pulling the engine recoil starter.
• Visually check to be sure that the blades are free
of obstructions and the area is clear for
operation.
• For trowels that use this feature, ensure that the
emergency stop switch is in the ON position.
• Move the throttle to the idle position.
• Switch the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON
position.
• Never place your foot on the ring guard when
starting the engine or severe injury can occur if
your foot slips through the ring guard as the
blades start to spin.
• While firmly holding the handle with one hand,
start the engine following the guidelines in the
engine manufacturer’s instruction manual.
• Hold the handle bar firmly with both hands while
the trowel is “throttled-up”.
• If control of the trowel is lost, stay clear and do
not attempt to regain control until the trowel has
stopped moving. Depending on the engine
speed, the trowel handle can swing around
before it stops completely.
• You are ready to operate the trowel!

RIDE-ON TROWELS
• Ensure that the operator is familiar with the
trowel and is trained on its operation.
• Ensure the operator is well rested and not
fatigued, is alert, and not impaired in any way
(medications, drugs, alcohol, etc.).
• Adjust the seating if necessary and get into a
comfortable position where all controls are
accessible.
• Visually check to be sure that the blades are free
of obstructions and the area is clear for
operation.
• Start the trowel following the instructions in the
engine manufacturer’s operation manual. For
diesel powered trowels, follow the instructions for
glow plug and cold start operation.
• Observe any gauges and warning lights to
ensure they are functioning and their readings
are within the manufacturer’s normal operating
range.
• Check operation of controls. Make certain they
operate properly.
• You are ready to operate the trowel!
