Trowel Setup Instructions

The purpose of this section is to assist the user in the setting up of a NEW trowel. If your trowel is already assembled (seats, handles, knobs and battery), then this section can be skipped.

NOTICE

The new ride-on trowel cannot be put into service until the setup installation instructions are completed.These setup instructions only need to be performed at the time of unpacking a NEW trowel.

Before packaging and shipping this Whiteman Ride-On Power Trowel was run and tested at the factory. If there are problems with the trowel, please let us know.

Seat assembly

NOTICE

EHTX trowels have a seat that is mounted on tracks, similar to an automobile seat.This seat can be adjusted fore and aft via the control lever under the front of the seat.

The seat is not installed on the trowel for shipping purposes. To attach the seat perform the following:

1.Remove the seat from the protective wrapping.

2.Remove the bolts on the bottom of the seat, and place seat on the seat mounting plate, then insert the bolts through the holes or slots on the seat mounting plate and tighten.

Battery Setup

This trowel was shipped with a wet charged battery. This battery may need to be charged for a brief period of time as per the manufacturer instructions.

To install the battery on the trowel, make sure that the battery is well seated in the battery box and the terminals are properly connected. The positive cable, normally RED, is associated with the "+" symbol on the battery. The negative cable, normally BLACK, is associated with the "-" symbol on the battery, (Figure 5). Connect the positive cable to the positive terminal on the battery first, then connect the negative cable to the negative terminal. Close the plastic battery box cover and secure the battery box.

DANGER

Battery electrolyte contains corrosive, toxic chemical. (dilute sulfuric acid). Avoid contact with eyes and skin.

Shock or Fire due to electric short- circuit. Disconnect battery cables before inspecting electrical system and never "spark" battery terminals to test for charge.

NOTICE
