2.5 To Stop

1. Return the control levers to their neutral position and release pressure on the throttle foot
pedal.
2. Release pressure on the safety stop switch.
3. To stop the engine, turn the keyswitch to "O" (off).
NOTICE: Release the safety stop switch for emergency stop.

2.6 Operation

To utilize your Ride-On Trowel to its fullest capacity, the machine should be driven in the
direction that the operator is facing. This will finish the widest possible area, while giving the
operator and excellent view of the slab surface about to be troweled. When the machine
reaches the end of the slab, make a 180°U-turn, and repeat the straight line of direction to
the other end of the slab.
NOTICE: DO NOT use excessive pressure on the control levers. Excessive pressure does
not increase the reaction time of the machine and can damage the steering controls.
NOTICE: Attempting to use the trowel too early in the curing stage of the concrete may result
in an undesirable finish. Only experienced concrete finishers should operate the trowel.

reverse.

desired pitch on the left side of the machine, then adjust the right side to match.
