2.3.1 Operating The Trowel
The following steps are intended as a basic guide to machine operation, and are not to
be considered a complete guide to concrete finishing. We suggest that all operators
(experienced and novice) read “Slabs on Grade” published by the American Concrete
Institute, Detroit, Michigan. Read the “Training” section of this manual for more informa-
tion.
1. Get into the operator’s position behind the handle. With a secure foothold and a firm
grasp on the handles slowly increase the engine speed until the desired blade speed is
obtained.
2. To maneuver the trowel, gently lift up on or press down on the main trowel handle. To
move the machine to the operator’s left, lift up on the handle, to move machine to the
right, push down on the handle.
3. The best method for finishing concrete is to slowly walk backwards with the trowel, guid-
ing the trowel from side to side. This will cover all footprints on wet concrete.
4. Remember that if you let go of the trowel, just step away and let the trowel come to a
complete stop before trying to recover the trowel.
Stopping The Engine
1. Move the throttle lever to the IDLE or SLOW position and run the engine for three min-
utes at low speed.
2. After the engine cools, turn the engine start/stop switch to the “OFF” position.
