SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Poorly maintained equipment
can become a safety hazard! In
order for your trowel to operate
safely and properly over a long
period of time, periodic
maintenance and occasional
repairs are necessary.
Do not attempt to clean,
service, or perform adjustments
on the trowel while it is running.

PERFORM MAINTENANCE SAFELY

FORM GOOD DRESS HABITS
Loose clothing and jewelry can catch in moving
parts and cause serious injury.
Keep hands – and clothing – away from moving
parts.
GUARDS AND SAFETY DEVICES
After performing maintenance make certain all
guards and panels have been reinstalled and all
safety devices are functional.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Always wear eye and face
protection.
Batteries produce explosive gases.
Keep open flame or sparks away.
See the manufacturer's instructions
when servicing the batteries, when
using jumper cables, or when using
a battery charger.

PERFORM MAINTENANCE SAFELY
GENERAL PROCEDURES
Do not perform any work on the trowel unless you
are authorized to do so.
Standard maintenance procedures should always
be observed. Read the manufacturer's manual or
find assistance if you do not understand what you
are doing.
Maintenance can be dangerous unless performed
properly. Be certain that you have the necessary
skill and information, correct tools and equipment
to do the job correctly.
Attach a Do Not Operate tag or
similar warning tag to the
control panel (or handle on
walk-behind trowels), and
disconnect the battery
(disconnect the spark plug wire
on walk-behind trowels), before
performing maintenance on the
machine.
Disconnect the electric cord on
electrical machines.
Use a flashlight to check battery
electrolyte level. Always check
with engine stopped.
Battery electrolyte is poisonous.
It is strong enough to burn your
skin, eat holes in clothing, and
can cause blindness if splashed
into eyes. Always wear eye and
face protection.
Flush any contacted area with water immediately.
