SUGGESTED TRAINING
Note: ONLY QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED PERSONNEL SHOULD OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT
Before taking your new equipment to the job site for it’s first use, there are a few things that should be considered before operation.
Handling
Know how to transport your trowel properly. Keep in mind that you will need to place your trowel on a slab of concrete in the middle of construction area. How will you accomplish this? Do you need any special equipment for lifting or transport? These are questions that you should be able to answer.
Operation
Perhaps it would be wise to familiarize yourself with machine operation before placing your machine on a slab.It would of use to understand how your trowel will behave and how it is controlled. The best way to do this is to test run your machine.
To test run your machine, place it on a flat piece of existing finished concrete. Before starting the machine, make sure that the area around the machine is clear of any obstructions and people. Test running your machine will give a good idea as to how the machine will operate under normal conditions. Keep in mind that running a machine on dry concrete could wear your blades at an accelerated rate.
Training Checklist
For proper operator training please use the attached sheet OPERATOR TRAINING CHECKLIST. It is located at the end of this manual.This sheet will list some of the minimums for basic operation of the machine. Please feel free to detach it and make copies.This sheet is a checklist by which an experienced operator can provide training to a new operator. This sheet should help to familiarize the new operator with the machine. It covers basic machine controls and use, but it is not to be considered a complete training exercise.
