1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a ride-on concrete finishing trowel. The Wacker Neuson Ride-On
Trowel consists of a frame onto which are mounted a gasoline or diesel engine, a fuel
tank, a water tank, two gearboxes joined by a drive shaft, and an operator’s platform
with controls and a seat. A set of metal blades is connected to each gearbox. A ring
guard surrounds the blades. The engine rotates the blades via the gearboxes and a
clutch mechanism. The rotating blades ride on the surface of curing concrete, creating
a smooth finish. The operator, who sits on the operator’s platform, uses the controls and
the throttle pedal to control speed and direction of the machine.
This machine is intended to be used for floating and burnishing curing concrete.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the
machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons in the area. Machine damage
caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
■
Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
■
Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
■
Using the machine to finish inappropriate materials such as slurries, sealers, or
epoxy finishes
■
Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
■
Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the
machine and in the Operator’s Manual
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest global safety
standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far as practicable

residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:
■
