BA-SERIESTROWEL — INITIAL START-UP

CAUTION

The trowel is heavy and awkward to move around. Use proper heavy lifting procedures and DO NOT lift the trowel

by the guard rings.

Lifting the Trowel Onto a Slab.

Auxiliary Lifting Tube

Remove the auxiliary lifting tube located on top of the main handle. Insert the tube into the socket located on the opposite side of the gearbox (Figure 21) from the handle.

Make sure that the hole in the tube engages with the pin in the socket. With one person lifting from the main handle, and another lifting from the auxiliary lifting tube pick up the machine to move onto a slab.

This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial start-up of the walk-behind trowel. It is extremely important that this section be read carefully before attempting to use the trowel in the field.

DO NOT use your trowel until this section is thoroughly understood.

CAUTION

DO NOT attempt to operate the trowel until the Safety, General Information and Inspection sections of this manual have been read and thoroughly understood. Depending on engine manufacturer, operating steps may vary. See engine manufacturer's operating manual. The following start-up procedure makes reference to a HONDA 5.97 kW (8 HP)

Engine (Manual Start).

Starting the Engine (HONDA engine)

1.Place the engine fuel valve lever (Figure 22) to the "ON" position.

Figure 21. Lifting the Trowel

CAUTION

The trowel must be stabilized by the person carrying the operator’s handle (Figure 21). If it is not stabilized properly the handle may swing around and flip the trowel, thus causing damage to the trowel and bodily injury.

Lifting Bale (Option)

The lift bale is optional on new trowels. It provides an optimal lift point for moving the trowel. Lift bales or forklift can be used to lift a trowel up onto a building with a crane. See “Optional Equipment” section in this manual for ordering information.

Using a crane to move a machine with a lift bale is highly recommended, and is perfectly safe for the machine. Extra care should be taken when lifting the machine off the ground, though. Serious damage to the machine or personal injury could be caused by dropping a trowel.
