• stand or walk behind the machine, facing forward
• have both hands on the control handle
• guide the motion of the trowel by applying downward pressure to
the control handle
4.12 Operation
See Graphic: wc_gr004418
ALWAYS test the function of the Operator Present Lever before
operating the trowel. DO NOT operate the trowel if the Operator
Present Lever is not functioning properly.
Choose correct blade type and attach blades to trowel arms.
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.
4.12.1 Start engine and engage blades by increasing engine speed. Set
speed with throttle control on handle bar to appropriate speed for job
conditions.
4.12.2 To move trowel forward twist handle clockwise (a).
4.12.3 To move backward twist handle counterclockwise (b).
4.12.4 To move to the left lift up slightly on the handle (c).
4.12.5 To move to the right press down slightly on the handle (d).
4.12.6 Clean trowel after each use to remove concrete splatter.
Allow the muffler to cool before cleaning or servicing the machine. A
hot muffler could ignite the fuel and start a fire.
Personnel other than the trowel operator should not be allowed in the
work area, as severe injury can occur from contact with operating
trowel blades.
