TROWeL SeTup INSTRuCTIONS
The purpose of this section is to assist the user in the setting
up of a
NeW trowel. If your trowel is already assembled
(seats, handles, knobs and battery), then this section can
be skipped.
Before packaging and shipping this Whiteman Ride-On
Power Trowel, it was run and tested at the factory. If there
are problems with the trowel, please let us know.
BaTTeRY SeTup
This trowel was shipped with a wet charged battery. This
battery may need to be charged for a brief period of time
as per the manufacturer instructions.
To install the battery on the trowel, make sure that the
battery is well seated in the battery box and the terminals
are properly connected. The positive cable, normally red, is
associated with the "+" symbol on the battery. The negative
cable, normally black, is associated with the "-" symbol
on the battery, (Figure 6). Connect the positive cable to
the positive terminal on the battery first, then connect the
negative cable to the negative terminal. Close the plastic
battery box cover and secure the battery box.
NOTICE
The new ride-on trowel cannot be put into service until
the setup installation instructions are completed. These
setup instructions only need to be performed at the time
of unpacking a
NeW trowel.
NOTICE
HHX trowels have a seat that is mounted on tracks,
similar to an automobile seat. This seat can be adjusted
fore and aft via the Control Joystick under the front of
the seat.
