BELT REPLACEMENT:
The trowel is equipped with a self-adjusting clutch. This clutch automatically tightens the belt and
compensates for belt wear. Replace the belt if the clutch can no longer tighten belt enough to engage
gearbox without slipping. To replace the drive belt:
Disconnect the spark plug lead. WARNING: To avoid accidental starting of the engine, always
disconnect the spark plug lead before working on machine.
Loosen the screws and remove the belt guard.
Slowly turn the pulley and roll the belt off.
MAINTENANCE
Install the new belt.
Reattach the belt guard with washers and screws.
STORAGE:
If trowel is being stored for more than 30 days:
Change engine oil.
Drain fuel from engine.
Remove spark plug and pour 15 ml (½ ounce) of SAE 30 engine oil into the cylinder. Replace spark
plug and crank engine to distribute oil.
Clean dirt from cylinder, cylinder head fins, blower housing, rotating screen, and muffler areas.
Cover trowel and engine and store in a clean, dry area.
