WALK-BEHIND TROWELS
OWNER'S MANUAL

TRANSPORTING

When transporting the trowel by human effort (carrying, sliding, etc.), always keep the handle
folded (if equipped) and the blades fully un-pitched to prevent damage to the pitch control
system.
When lifting from above via a crane, forklift, etc. always use the hoist hook. The hoist hook is an
optional feature that can be mounted to the engine or a feature built in to the folding handles.
Recommended Tie Down Points
Edger Trowel w/folding handle – Always make sure handle is folded and lock pin is installed
while transporting. The front carry handle and the rear carry handle can be used as tie down
points.
Edger Trowel w/rigid handle – The front carry handle and base of the handle can be used as tie
down points. Wrap the tie down strap around the base of the handle for best results.
B436 w/folding handle – Always make sure handle is folded and lock pin is installed while
transporting. The top ring of the guard ring and the rear carry handle can be used as tie down
points.
B436/446 w/rigid handle – Use the top ring of the guard ring as a tie down point. Use 2-4 tie
downs space evenly apart for best results
Trowel recommended tie down locations and over head lifting points
EDGER TROWEL CAUTION: Never lift the trowel by the rotating ring; use the hoist
hook or handle provided on the trowel.
ALL TROWEL CAUTION: Remove the float disc when lifting machine more than
100cm (40"). The floating disc is loosely secure, so it may fall off.
