Operating Instructions
Operators must be trained in the use of the power trowel and maintain practiced skill. It is dangerous
to operate this machine improperly or by an untrained person. An operator should read and
understand the manual and follow its directions.
This power trowel is equipped with an engine stop switch. Test the switch each time the engine is
started. NEVER disable or disconnect the switch. It is provided for operator safety. Injury may result if
it is disabled, disconnected, or improperly maintained.
In an emergency situation, stop the engine immediately with the engine stop switch. In normal
conditions, do not stop the engine when the power trowel is at high speed or the engine temperature
will rise suddenly, possibly causing engine parts to jam or the oil to deteriorate.
Start the Engine
1. Open the fuel valve on the engine.
2. Close the choke lever on the engine. A warm engine may not need to be choked.
3. Close the engine stop switch (set it to ON).
4. Pull the starter rope to start the engine.
5. Open the choke and allow the engine to warm up at slow speed for 5 minutes.
6. Test the engine stop switch. If it is working properly, the engine will stop.
7. Perform steps 3 and 4 again to restart the engine to use the power trowel.
Operation
1. While firmly grasping the power trowel handle and with the engine stop switch closed, pull the
throttle lever back toward the operator to increase the speed of the engine and start the blades
turning.
2. Use the handle to move the power trowel: to move left, apply a slight upward pressure on the
handle, to move right, press down slightly; to move forward, twist handle clockwise; to move
backward, twist handle counterclockwise; to rotate in one spot, hold handle in a neutral position
3. A good practice to finish concrete is move the trowel from side to side while moving backward.
Stop the Engine
1. If the engine has been running for a while and is hot, push the throttle lever fully toward the trowel
to minimize the engine speed then let the engine idle for a few minutes.
2. Release the engine stop switch to stop the engine.
3. Close the fuel valve.
