Lifting Bail
The lifting bail provides an optimal lift point for the trowel.
When lifting the trowel onto a concrete slab, attach a chain
or rope to the lifting bail. Make sure the capacity of the lifting
device is adequate for the weight of the trowel.
Using a crane or forklift to lift the trowel (Figure 36) is
highly
recommended, and is perfectly safe for the trowel. ALWAYS
use extra care when lifting the trowel off the ground.

OPERATION
This section will assist the operator with the initial start-up
and operation of the walk-behind trowel.
It is extremely
important that this section be read carefully before
operating the trowel.
DO NOT attempt to operate your trowel
until this section is thoroughly understood.
BEFORE STARTING
1. Clean the trowel, particularly the engine cooling air
inlet. Remove all dirt and dust.
2. Inspect the engine air cleaner for dirt and dust. If the
air cleaner is dirty, replace it with a new one.
3. Inspect the carburetor for external dirt and dust. Clean
with dry compressed air as needed.
4. Inspect all fastening nuts and bolts for tightness.
LIFTING THE TROWEL
NOTICE
DO NOT attempt to operate the trowel until the Safety,
General Information and Inspection sections of this
manual have been read and thoroughly understood.
WARNING
Extra care should be taken when lifting the trowel.
Serious personal injury or damage to the equipment
can be caused by a dropped trowel.
WARNING
NEVER attempt to lift this machine alone. NEVER lift
the trowel by the guard ring, as the trowel may rotate
and cause injury.
ALWAYS make sure the handle is secure, and use
only the manufacturer's approved lifting point. The
trowel may be lifted by the center lifting bail using
a crane or other device with adequate lifting capacity.
WARNING
NEVER lift the trowel to unnecessary heights. NEVER
stand underneath the trowel while it is being lifted.
