2.2.1 Before Starting Procedures
Fuel Check
1. Remove the gasoline cap located on top of fuel tank.
2. Visually inspect to see if fuel level is low. If fuel is low, replenish with unleaded fuel.
3. When refueling, be sure to use a strainer for filtration. DO NOT top-off fuel. Wipe up
any spilled fuel.
Gearbox Oil
1. Determine if the gearbox oil is low by removing the oil plug located on the side of the
gearbox. The correct level of the lubrication oil should be to the bottom of the fill plug.
2. If lubrication oil begins to seep out as the drain plug is being removed, then it can be
assumed that the gearbox has a sufficient amount of oil.
3. If lubrication oil does not seep out as the drain plug is being removed, fill with type
Allen Oil Kit P/N 048386 gearbox lubricant oil until the oil filler hole overflows.
V-Belt Check
A worn or damaged V-belt can adversely affect the performance of the trowel. If a V-belt
is defective or worn simply replace the Vbelt as outlined in the maintenance section of
this manual.
Belt Guard Check
Check for damage, loose or missing hardware.
Blade Check
Check for worn or damaged blades. Check to see if a blade is worn out while the others
look new. If this is the case there could be a blade pitch issue. Replace any worn blades.
Engine Oil Check
1. To check the engine oil level, place the trowel on secure level ground with the engine
stopped.
2. Remove the filler dipstick from the engine oil filler hole and wipe clean.
