In other words, let the machine move right or left, backwards or forwards,
approximately 4" with each revolution of the trowels. To fill a hole or cut
down hump, move the unit back and forth over the problem area.
Under normal operating conditions the machine should cover as much as
1000 sq. ft. in about 15 minutes. It is recommended that a slight tension on
the trowel control cable, (but not a definite tilt), during the floating operation
will cause the machine to operate much smoother. After the floated slab
has set sufficiently, it is ready for the finishing operation.
CAUTION! Do not let the machine stand in one spot on the soft cement. Lift
from the slab when the floating operation is complete.

OPERATION (Finishing)

When starting the finishing operation, never set the trowels up over 1/4"
pitch.
After the floating operation, the first thing to do is to remove the floating disc
from the blades. Clean the blades, spider plate and disc from cement paste
collected during the floating operation. Increase the blade pitch up to a
maximum of 1 cm for the first finishing operation and then continue to
increase the pitch on the following finishing operations. Continue the
finishing passes until you obtain the desired floor finish. The time required
between each finishing pass is again dependent on the weather conditions
and water content of the concrete etc. If some areas of the concrete
set/harden too fast you may apply a small amount of water using a hand
brush as an aid to achieving the finish.
STARTING & STOPPING PROCEDURE
1. Before operation checks
a. Check the oil level: Before beginning your preoperational checks, be
sure the engine is level and the engine switch is in the OFF.
