STX-SERIES — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

Transporting

■ALWAYS shutdown engine before transporting.

■Tighten fuel tank cap securely and close fuel petcock to prevent fuel from spilling.

■Drain fuel when transporting trowel for long distances or over bad roads.

■When placing the trowel on a truck-bed for transport, always tie-down the trowel.

■If the trowel is being transported via a trailer, make sure the trailer complies with all local and state safety transportation laws. Refer to the following "Towing Safety Precautions" for basic towing techniques.

Towing Safety Precautions

CAUTION

Conform to Department of Transportation (DOT) Safety Towing Regulations before transporting trowel on public roads.

To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting the trowel on public roads, always make sure the trailer that supports the trowel and the towing vehicle are in good operating condition and both units are mechanically sound.

The following list of suggestions should be used when towing your trowel:

■Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer "gross vehicle weight rating" (GVWR) of 6,000 lbs.

■ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains, etc.

■Check the tire air pressure on both towing vehicle and trailer. Trailer tires should be inflated to 50 psi cold. Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.

■ALWAYS make sure the trailer is equipped with "Safety Chains ".

■ALWAYS attach trailer's safety chains to towing vehicle properly.

■ALWAYS make sure the vehicle and trailer directional, backup, brake, and trailer lights are connected and working

■DO NOT exceed the recommended highway speed when towing. Unless posted otherwise, do not exceed 45 MPH highway, and 10 MPH off-road.

■Use chock-blocks at each wheel when parked to prevent trailer from rolling.

■Use the trailer's swivel jack to adjust the trailer height to a level position while parked.

■Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause the trailer to skid or jack-knife. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will improve towing.

■Avoid sharp turns.

■Trailer should be adjusted to a level position at all times when towing.

■Raise and lock trailer wheel stand in the "UP" position when transporting.

■DOT requirements include the following: Connect and test electric brake operation.

■DO NOT drop the battery. Any impact to the battery may cause it to explode.

■DO NOT expose the battery to open flames, sparks, lit cigarettes etc. The battery contains combustible gases and liquids. If these gases and liquids come in contact with a flame or spark an explosion can occur.

■ALWAYS keep the battery charged. If the

battery is not charged a buildup of combustible gas will occur.

■ALWAYS keep battery cables in good working condition. Repair or replace all worn cables.

■ALWAYS disconnect the negative battery terminal before performing service on the trowel.

■ALWAYS recharge the battery in a vented air environment to avoid risk of a dangerous concentration of combustible gases.

■In case the battery liquid, (dilute sulfuric acid), comes in contact with clothing or skin, rinse skin or clothing immediately with plenty of water.

■In case the battery liquid, (dilute sulfuric acid), comes in contact with your eyes, rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water, then contact the nearest doctor or hospital and seek medical attention.
