operation
5.If starting a warm engine place the choke lever (Figure 23) in the "OPEN " position.
8.Before the trowel is placed into operation, run the engine for several minutes. Check for fuel leaks, and noises that would associate with a loose guard ring and/or covers.
Testing the Centrifugal Safety Stop Switch
1.With the engine running at idle, place the safety stop switch lever in the "OFF" position (Figure 26). Verify that the engine shuts off. If the engine continues to run, replace centrifugal safety stop switch.
Figure 23. Choke Lever (Open)
6.Grasp the starter grip (Figure 24) and slowly pull it out. The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position, corresponding to the compression point. Pull the starter grip briskly and smoothly for starting.
Figure 24. Starter Grip
7.If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 25), to the CLOSED position. If the engine has not started repeat steps 1 through 6.
OFF
Figure 26. Testing Safety Stop Switch
2.Before performing this test, clear the area around the trowel. Make sure it is free of debris and objects. Move the safety stop switch lever to the "ON" position, restart the engine and let idle.
Stand behind the handle and spin the handle to the right, simulating a runaway situation. (See Figure 27). Centrifugal force should throw the safety switch outward to the "OFF" position thus shutting off the engine.
