BT90E Electric Power Trowel Operating Instructions.
The BT90 Electric 230v Power Trowel is driven by a 2.2 Kw Motor. As such it
requires a correct power source to operate the machine. Note that the machine can
draw as much as 24 Amperes on initial start up if the machine has been standing
stationary on wet concrete.
The plug socket provided on the machine is the EU blue three pin safety 32 amp
socket. Plug in your extension cable into the socket. Please ensure the extension
cable is not coiled nor unreasonably long as this will cause power drop to the
machine.
To start rotation of the machine pull in the red hand lever on the left side of the
handle bar. To increase or lower speed use the speed dial on the right side of the
handle bar.
For emergency stop release the red lever.
When operating the machine ensure the power cable is running over the handle bar
and always behind the machine to avoid contact of the cable with the blades. If
contact is made then immediately stop the machine and disconnect the extension
cable and inspect the insulation. If it is damaged then do not continue to use the
machine until the cable is replaced.
If the cable is badly damaged or if the amperes to the machine are insufficient then
the machine has a trip switch that will cut off the power.
Special Note: If the power trowel is fitted with a float pan then the machine may
settle into the wet surface of the concrete and this will create a suction that will put
resistance on the rotation of the electric machine. To avoid this break the machine
free of the concrete prior to starting.
