Standard maintenance procedures should always be observed. Read the manufacturer's
manual or find assistance if you do not understand what you are doing.
Maintenance can be dangerous unless performed properly. Be certain that you have the
necessary skill and information, correct tools and equipment to do the job correctly.
Attach a Do Not Operate tag or similar warning tag to the control panel (or
handle on walk-behind trowels), and disconnect the battery (disconnect the
spark plug wire on walk-behind trowels), before performing maintenance on
the machine.
Disconnect the electric cord on electrical machines.
FORM GOOD DRESS HABITS
Loose clothing and jewelry can catch in moving parts and cause serious injury.
Keep hands – and clothing – away from moving parts.
GUARDS AND SAFETY DEVICES
After performing maintenance make certain all guards and panels have been reinstalled and
all safety devices are functional.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Always wear eye and face protection.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep open flame or sparks away. See the
manufacturer's instructions when servicing the batteries, when using jumper
cables, or when using a battery charger.
Use a flashlight to check battery electrolyte level. Always check with engine stopped.
Battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is strong enough to burn your skin, eat holes
in clothing, and can cause blindness if splashed into eyes. Always wear eye and
face protection.
FIRE PREVENTION
Avoid fire hazards.
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before you refuel the trowel. Do not refuel while
smoking or near open flame or sparks. Never overfill fuel tanks or fluid reservoirs.
Remove all trash or debris. Make sure oily rags or other flammable materials are not stored
on or in the trowel.
Check for fuel, oil, or hydraulic fluid leaks. Repair the leaks and clean the machine before you
operate it.
Do not perform any work on the trowel unless you are
authorized to do so.
