3.13 Engine Control Module
To prevent uncontrolled spinning of the trowel, the engine control
module is designed to shutoff the engine under certain conditions. For
example, if the operator loses his/her grip on the trowel, the engine
control module will sense that the machine is spinning and shut off the
engine. The momentum of the spinning trowel will engage the brake
and stop the handle from spinning past 270°.
To test the engine control module, start the machine and jerk the
handle to the right. The engine should stop. If the engine does not stop,
repeat the jerking motion until the engine stops. If the engine does not
shut off, push the stop button and turn the engine off. DO NOT operate
the machine until the engine control module is replaced.
DO NOT operate the trowel if the engine control module is
disconnected or not functioning properly.
3.14 Operation
See Graphic: wc_gr003239
ALWAYS test the function of the engine control module before
operating the trowel. DO NOT operate the trowel if the engine control
module is not functioning properly.
Choose correct blade type and attach blades to trowel arms. Do not
mix float or finish blades with combination blades.
Note: When operating on soft concrete, do not let trowel stand in one
spot too long. Always lift trowel from slab when operation is complete.
Note: “Left” and “Right” references are made from the operator's
position.
3.14.1 Adjust handle height to suit operator. See Installing and Adjusting
Handles.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to adjust handle height on the trowel while it
is running.
3.14.2 Start engine and engage blades by increasing engine speed. Set
speed with throttle control on handle bar to appropriate speed for job
conditions.
3.14.3 To move trowel forward twist handle clockwise (a).
3.14.4 To move backward twist handle counterclockwise (b).
3.14.5 To move to the left lift up slightly on the handle (c).
