INSPECTION

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

DO NOT use your ride-on power trowel until this section is thoroughly understood.

WARNING

Failure to understand the operation of this ride-on trowel could result in severe damage to the trowel or personal injury.

hydrauic Oil Level

Determine if the hydraulic oil is low by observing the level of oil in the hydraulic oil sight glass, (Figure 7). The hydraulic tank has an elevated overflow bottle. DO NOT remove the fill cap when the oil is hot or spillage will occur.

1.Lift (tilt) seat forward to access engine oil dipstick.

2.Pull the engine oil dipstick (Figure 6) from its holder.

3.Determine if engine oil is low. Oil level should be between the upper land lower limit on the dipstick.

4.If oil level is low add correct amount of engine oil to bring oil level to a normal safe level (See Recommended Viscosity Grades, Table 6).

5.Allow enough time for any added oil to make its way to the oil pan before rechecking.

CAUTION

DO NOT overfill engine oil. Oil level should not be above the top fill line.
