TESTING THE SEAT SWITCH
Make sure the safety seat switch is operational prior to
using the trowel each day.
1. With the engine running, depress the foot switch to start
turning the rotors. Observe that the blades are rotating.
2. While keeping the foot switch depressed, rise from the
operator’s seat.
3. Verify that the blades stop rotating while the engine
continues to run.
4. If blade rotation has stopped, the seat switch is working.
5. If blade rotation continues, the seat switch is not
working. Stop the engine immediately and correct the
problem.

NEVER disable or disconnect the seat switch. It is
provided for operator safety. Injury may result if it is
disabled, disconnected or improperly maintained.
