proper heavy lifting procedures and DO NOT lift the trowel
by the guard rings.
LIFTING THE TROWEL ONTO THE SLAB.
Auxiliary Lifting Tube
Remove the auxiliary lifting tube located on top of the main handle.
Insert the tube into the socket located on the opposite side of the
gearbox (Figure 20) from the handle.
Make sure that the hole in the tube engages with the pin in the
socket. With one person lifting from the main handle, and another
lifting from the auxiliary lifting tube pick up the machine to move
onto a slab.

CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION
The trowel must be stabilized by the person carrying the
operator's handle (Figure 20). If it is not stabilized properly
the handle may swing around and flip the trowel, thus causing
damage to the trowel and bodily injury.
Lifting Bail (Option)
The lift bail is optional on new trowels. It provides an optimal lift
point for moving the trowel. Lift bails can be used to lift a trowel
up onto a building with a crane. See " Optional Equipment "
section in this manual for ordering information.
Using a crane to move a machine with a lift bail is highly
recommended, and is safe for the machine. Extra care should be
taken when lifting the machine off the ground, though. Serious
damage to the machine or personal injury could be caused by
dropping a trowel.
