Operation CRT 36
Control locations and functions:
The Ride-On Trowel features a seat with an integrated “operator presence”
system, which works in conjunction with a throttle mounted switch. This system
allows the engine to remain running (idling) with no operator seated in the seat, as
long as the throttle is not depressed. This system meets all safety requirements
and eliminates the need for a foot-operated “kill switch”.
To familiarize a new operator with the Ride-On Trowel the following steps should
be taken:
1. With the operator in the seat, show him or her the functions of the control arms
(c) and how to start the machine.
2. Have the operator practice steering the trowel. A hard concrete slab slightly
wetted with water is an ideal place for an operator to practice with the machine.
For this practice, pitch the blades up approximately ¼" on the leading edge.
Start by making the machine hover in one spot, and then practice driving the
machine in a straight line and making 180° turns. The best control is achieved
at full rpm.
