General Safety
• ALWAYS know the location of the nearest fire extinguisher.
• ALWAYS know the location of the nearest first aid kit.
• ALWAYS know the location of the nearest phone or keep a phone on the job site. Also,
know the phone numbers of the nearest ambulance, doctor and fire department. This infor-
mation will be invaluable in the case of an emergency.
• Engine fuel exhaust gases contain very poisonous carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless
and odorless, and can cause death if inhaled.
• The engine of this equipment requires an adequate free flow
of cooling air. NEVER operate this equipment in any enclosed or
narrow area where free flow of the air is restricted. If the air flow
is restricted it will cause injury to people and property and seri-
ous damage to the equipment or engine.
• NEVER operate the equipment in an explosive
atmosphere or near combustible materials. An
explosion or fire could result causing severe
bodily harm or even death.
• ALWAYS keep clear of rotating or moving parts while operating the trowel.
• DO NOT start or operate the trowel if the drive train will not disengage. Centrifugal force
between the trowel and surface when starting can cause uncontrolled handle movement that
can cause serious injury. The handle must not move while pulling the engine recoil starter.
