JWN-SERIES — INITIAL START-UP
3.
Practice holding the machine in one place as you increase
blade speed. When about 75% of maximum blade speed
has been reached, the blades will be moving at proper
finishing speed. The machine may be difficult to keep in
one place. Trying to keep the ride-on trowel stationary is a
good practice for operation.
4.
Practice maneuvering the ride-on trowel using the
information listed in Table 4. Try to practice controlled
motions as if you were finishing a slab of concrete. Practice
edging and covering a large area.

Try adjusting the pitch of the blades. This can be done with
the ride-on trowel stopped or while the trowel is moving,
whatever feels comfortable. Test the operation of optional
equipment like retardant spray and lights if equipped.
6.
Pull both the left and right joysticks backward and repeat
steps 3 through 6 while substituting the word reverse for
forward.
1.
Push both the left and right control levers forward. See
Figure 11.
NOTE
All directional references with respect
to the steering control levers are from
the
operator’s seat position.
2.
With your right foot quickly depress the right foot pedal
halfway. Notice that the ride-on power trowel begins to move
in a forward direction. Return both joystick controls to their
neutral position to stop forward movement, then remove
your right foot from the right foot pedal.
Steering
Two control levers located in front of the operator’s seat provide
directional control for the JWN-SERIES Ride-On Power Trowel.
Table 4 illustrates the various directional positions of the joysticks
and their effect on the ride-on trowel.
Trowel arms can be damaged by rough handling or by
striking exposed plumbing or forms while in operation.
ALWAYS look-out for objects which might cause damage
to the trowel arms.
