WARNING
NEVER disable or disconnect the centrifugal safety
"stop" switch. It is provided for operator safety. Injury
may result if it is disabled, disconnected or improperly
maintained.
Centrifugal Safety "STOP" Switch
This trowel has been equipped with a centrifugal safety
"stop" switch (Figure 21). This switch should be tested
every time the engine is started.
The switching mechanism of this switch should operate
freely and should always be kept in this condition. With the
switch in the OFF position, the engine should not start or
run. The purpose of this switch is to stop the engine in a
runaway situation, (i.e. the operator releasing the handle
during operation).
