STX-SERIES — INITIAL START-UP

CAUTION

Hydraulic oil can get HOT!

ALWAYS allow hydraulic oil to cool before removing fill cap.

CAUTION

Removal of the fill cap when oil fills the sight glass will cause hydraulic oil to spill. Clean up hydraulic oil spills immediately.

To add hydraulic oil, remove fill cap on the hydraulic tank. Fill to overflow with hydraulic system cool. Use Chevron AW / MV ISO 68 or equivalent.

Fuel

Determine if the engine fuel is low (Figure 8). If fuel level is low, remove the fuel filler cap and fill with diesel fuel. Handle fuel safely. Motor fuels are highly flammable and can be dangerous if mishandled. DO NOT smoke while refueling. DO NOT attempt to refuel the ride-on trowel if the engine is hot or running.

Figure 8. Fuel Gauge

CAUTION

DO NOT store the Ride-On Power Trowel with fuel in the tank for an extended period of time. Completely drain the fuel system (tank, lines, etc.) if the unit is to be put into long term storage. For shorter or intermediate periods of time the tank should be filled to avoid condensation that could cause corrosion or contamination of the fuel.

INITIAL START-UP

WARNING

NEVER operate the trowel in a confined area or enclosed area structure that does not provide ample free flow of air.

ALWAYS wear approved eye and hearing protection before operating the ride-on power trowel.

NEVER place hands or feet inside the guard rings while the engine is running. ALWAYS shut the engine down before performing any kind of maintenance service on the trowel.

Starting the Engine

1.With one foot on the ground and the other foot placed on the trowel’s platform, grasp the grab handles lifting yourself onto the trowel.Then sit down in the operator’s seat.

CAUTION

DO NOT grab hold of the joysticks to lift yourself onto the trowel. Pulling on the joysticks repeatedly will weaken the units. ALWAYS use the grab handles to lift yourself on the trowel.

2.The STX Ride-On Power Trowel is equipped with a Safety Stop Switch. The trowel will not move unless an operator is sitting in the seat. While the engine can be started or continue to run with the operator off the seat, the rotors will not rotate. The weight of an operator activates a switch within the seat allowing the rotors to turn.
