STARTING PROCEDURES - WARM TEMPERATURES
a) Prior to starting the trowel, check the engine and gearbox oil levels. Be sure the fuel tank
is full. Fuel is not shipped with the unit. Before attempting to start, fill the fuel tank. Check
engine and gearbox oil levels. WARRANTY IS VOID IF RUN WITHOUT OIL. Fill tank
with safety approved fuel containers. DO NOT MIX OIL WITH FUEL.
b) Maintain contact with the safety switch. Engine will disengage and stop if safety switch is
released. Do not tape, tie-down, or otherwise attempt to bypass safety device.
c) If starting a diesel hold the key between run and start for 15 seconds to operate the glow
plugs if the engine is cold.
d) Turn ignition key all the way. Allow engine to warm up before proceeding with full trowel
operation.
STARTING PROCEDURES - COLD TEMPERATURES
Follow same procedure as above but allow for a longer warm up period of 3-5 min. (In
cold weather, oil is much heavier to move. Extra time is required to heat the oil.)
