Important Information Before You Start

1.This ride-on trowel is equipped with a safety "safety stop switch". This switch is located beneath the seat assembly. Remember the engine will not start unless an operator is sitting in the operator’s seat. The weight of an operator depresses an electrical switch which will allow the engine to start.

WARNING

NEVER disable or disconnect the "safety stop switch". It is provided for the operator's safety and injury or death may result if it is disabled, disconnected or improperly maintained.

2.The safety stop switch should be used to stop the engine after every use. Doing this will verify the switch is working properly thus providing safety for the operator.Remember to turn the key to the “OFF” position after stopping the machine. Not doing so will drain the battery.

3.The right foot pedal (Figure 8) controls blade and engine speed.The position of the foot pedal determines the blade speed. Slow blade speed is obtained by slightly depressing the pedal. Maximum blade speed is obtained by fully depressing the pedal.

6.Keep your foot OFF the blade speed control pedal and in all circumstances, start the engine at idle (without touching the pedal).

7.Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch.

8.Turn the ignition key (Figure 10) clockwise and listen for the engine to start. Once the engine starts release ignition key.

9.If the engine fails to start in this manner, consult the engine owner's manual supplied with the trowel.

10.Test the safety stop switch by standing up briefly.The switch under the seat should cause the engine to stop. If the switch fails to shut down the engine.Turn off the engine with the key switch and repair the safety stop switch. See Table 7 (Troubleshooting ) for possible causes.
