MULTIQUIP LD6 Operation Manual page 31

The rotor speed control lever (Figure 24) controls rotor
speed in conjunction with the foot switch (Figure 25). The
foot switch rotates the blades while the position of the
rotor speed control lever determines the rotational speed
of the blades.

3. Push both the left and right joysticks forward
(Figure 26). Notice that the trowel begins to move in
a forward direction. Release both joystick controls to
stop forward movement, then remove your right foot
from the foot switch to stop blade rotation.

4. Practice holding the machine in one place as you
increase blade speed. When about 75% of maximum
blade speed has been reached, the blades will be
moving at proper finishing speed. The machine may be
difficult to keep in one place. Trying to keep the trowel
stationary is good practice for operation.
5. Practice maneuvering the trowel using the information
in Table 7. Practice controlled motions as if finishing
a slab of concrete. Practice edging and covering a
large area.
