2.6 To Start

Before starting the machine must know the location and function of all controls.
Make sure the safety stop switch is in the stop position. If it is not, push the lever down to the stop
position before attempting to start the engine. Open fuel valve under fuel tank (if so equipped),
open throttle approximately half way down and apply choke. Holding unit handle firmly with one
hand, pull the starter rope sharply with the other about (3) times. When engine starts, open choke
and adjust throttle as necessary to keep it running. If engine doesn't start after (3) pulls, open
choke slightly.
NOTE: These starting instructions are general guidelines only. Since many engine options are
available on our power trowels, consult the ENGINE MANUAL included with the unit for specific
instructions.

OPERATION

2.7 To Stop

Push the safety stop switch down to the stop position. Close throttle all the way, and turn the
engine switch to off position.
2.8 Initial Operation
With engine started as instructed previously and at operating temperature, adjust speed to about
half throttle. Hold the handle firmly with one hand and move the safety stop switch to RUN
position to engage the trowel blades.

2.9 Finishing Operation

After floating, allow the concrete to set until it will support the weight of the trowel. Set the pitch to
approximately 1/4" to 3/8" on the blades. If the blades start to dig into the concrete, decrease the
amount of pitch.
