STX-SERIES — PRE-INSPECTION

PRE-INSPECTION

The following sections are intended to assist the operator with pre-

NOTE inspection and the initial start-up of the STX-SERIES Ride-On Power Trowel. It is extremely important that these sections are read carefully before attempting to use the trowel

in the field. DO NOT use your Ride-On Power Trowel until these sections are thoroughly understood.

CAUTION

Failure to understand the operation of the STX-SERIES Ride-On Power Trowel could result in severe damage to the trowel or personal injury.

See Figures 2 and 3 (Pages 13 and 14) for the location of controls and indicators referenced in this manual.

Engine Oil

1.Pull the engine oil dipstick from its holder.

2.Determine if engine oil is low (Figure 4), add correct amount of engine oil to bring oil level to a normal safe level.

(FILL TO OVERFLOW WITH HYDRAULIC SYSTEM COOL)

Figure 5. Hydraulic Oil Sight Glass

CAUTION

Hydraulic oil can get HOT!

ALWAYS allow hydraulic oil to cool before removing fill cap.

CAUTION

Removal of the fill cap when oil fills the sight glass will cause hydraulic oil to spill. Clean up hydraulic oil spills immediately.

Fuel

Determine if the engine fuel is low (Figure 6). If fuel level is low, remove the fuel filler cap and fill with diesel fuel. Handle fuel safely. Motor fuels are highly flammable and can be dangerous if mishandled. DO NOT smoke while refueling. DO NOT attempt to refuel the ride-on trowel if the engine is hot or running.

Hydraulic Oil

CAUTION

Determine if the hydraulic oil is low by observing the level of oil

in the hydraulic Oil Sight Glass (Figure 5). The hydraulic tank

 

has an elevated overflow bottle. DO NOT remove the fill cap

 

when the oil is hot or spillage will occur.

 

NEVER store the Ride-On Power Trowel with fuel in the tank for any extended period of time. ALWAYS clean up spilled fuel immediately.
