Trowel Operation
Operating The Riding Trowel
To utilize your Allen Engineering MSP445X Rider to its fullest capacity the machine should be driven in
the direction the operator is facing. This will finish the widest possible area while giving the operator
an excellent view of the slab surface about to be troweled. When the machine reaches the end of the
slab make a 180 degree turn and repeat the straight line of direction to the other end of the slab. To
familiarize a new operator with the riding trowel the following steps should be taken.
All items in this manual are describe from the operator “Sitting On Machine” or SOM for short
