REMOVING THE FLOAT FROM A CONCRETE PAD
Care should be taken to prevent damage to a concrete
pad surface while removing the float from the pad. This
procedure requires at least two people—one to operate
the forklift and one to carefully rotate the pans.
WARNING
Removal of the float from concrete requires two people.
DO NOT attempt to perform this procedure alone!
WARNING
DO NOT place any part of your body between the
forklift and the float. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
may result.
1. With the engine running at idle, carefully attach the float
to a forklift as shown in the Lifting and Transporting
section of this manual.
2. Without sitting in the operator's seat, press and hold
either one of the drive bypass switches (Figure 53)
to enter Drive Bypass mode. Engine speed will rise
to operating speed and the lights will flash to alert
personnel to exercise caution during this procedure.

NOTICE
DO NOT engage the seat switch by sitting in the
operator's seat. The rotors will not turn if an operator
is in the seat while a drive bypass switch is pressed.
In drive bypass mode, the rotors can only be turned
via drive bypass switch and foot pedal engagement.
3. While continuing to hold one of the drive bypass
switches, depress the foot pedal (by hand) to slowly
rotate the float pans.
4. With the pans slowly rotating, use the forklift to slowly
lift the float until the pans are clear of the concrete pad
surface. Remember to keep all personnel out of the
area between the forklift and the float.
5. Release the drive bypass switch and foot pedal, and
stand clear of the forklift and float.
ENGINE SHUTDOWN
1. Reduce engine speed and allow the engine to idle for
3–5 minutes.
2. Turn the ignition key counterclockwise to the OFF
position, then remove the key.
3. If LPG mode was in use, turn the propane shutoff
valve clockwise (Figure 54) until closed.
