2. Place the engine switch in the "0" (OFF) position, turning it counterclockwise;
3. Close the fuel cock by moving the tap level switch to the closed (OFF) position, being to the left.
NOTE: These starting instructions are general guidelines only. Consult the engine manual for specific instructions.
Machine Operation
Never remove or alter safety guards, as they play an important safety role for the operator. Always check the state of conservation of the equipment's
protective shields.
If any of these are damaged or missing, do not use the equipment until it has been replaced or repaired.
Do not operate the equipment if you are sick, tired or under the influence of alcohol.
If the operator finds himself in a risky situation, the equipment must be turned off immediately and the supervisor or person in charge takes measures to
eliminate these risks. It is necessary to inform the manufacturer of any risk event or accident with the equipment.
Operating the machine:
After starting the engine as instructed, hold the operating handlebars firmly with one hand and move the throttle to the ACCELERATE position to activate the
trowels blades.
Smoothing operation:
When the concrete is already at the ideal curing stage to receive the trowel's weight, place the equipment over this area. Turn on the equipment and adjust
the blades as previously explained.
Use the tilt adjuster to adjust the blades - they must be as close to the concrete as possible and the operator must hold the equipment strong enough to
prevent it from losing its stability.
Guide the blades over the concrete in a circular a circular, backward motion. Under normal conditions, it should be able to float in a 30 x 30 meter area in
approximately 15 minutes. This operation will bring the water to the surface, allowing for a finer finish to the smoothed area.
Maneuver Operation:
During final finishing, adjust the height of the blade inclination to approximately 6 to 10mm. If the blades begin to sink into the concrete, decrease the tilt
height.
As the following explanation shows, it is possible to understand the application of the Power Trowel in the backward direction.
