Centrifugal Safety "STOP" Switch

This trowel has been equipped with a centrifugal safety "STOP" switch (Figure 17). This switch should be tested every time the engine is started.

The switching mechanism of this switch should operate freely and should always be kept in this condition. With the switch in the OFF position, the engine should not start or run. The purpose of this switch is to stop the engine in a runaway situation, (i.e. the operator releasing the handle during operation).

Operation

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.

Lifting the Trowel Onto a Slab

Extra care should be taken when lifting the trowel off the ground. Serious damage to the machine or personal injury could be caused by dropping a trowel.

WARNING

NEVER attempt to lift this machine alone. NEVER lift the trowel by the guard ring as it may rotate and cause injury.

ALWAYS make certain the handle is secure and use only the manufacturer's approved lifting point. The trowel may be lifted at the center lifting bale by crane or other lifting device of adequate capacity.

NOTICE

DO NOT attempt to operate the trowel until the Safety, General Information and Inspection sections of this manual have been read and thoroughly understood.

NOTICE

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 Bale

The lift bale provides an optimal lift point for lifting the trowel. When lifting the trowel onto a concrete slab, attach a chain or rope to the lifting bale. Make sure the lifting device has adequate lifting capacity to lift the trowel.

Using a crane or forklift (Figure 18) to lift the trowel is highly recommended, and is perfectly safe for the trowel. ALWAYS use extra care when lifting the trowel off the ground.
