LIFTING THE TROWEL
CAUTION
When lifting of the trowel is required always use two people to lift the trowel onto a slab. If another person is not available attach a crane or lifting device to the trowel's lifting bale.
With one person lifting from the main handle (Figure 16), and another person lifting from the front of the frame, lift the trowel onto a slab.
CAUTION
The trowel must be stabilized by the person carrying the operator’s handle (Figure 16). If it is not stabilized properly the handle may swing around and flipthe trowel, thus causing damage to the trowel and bodily injury.
Lifting Bail
A lifting bail is provided at an optimal lifting point for moving the trowel. A hoist or forklift can be used to lift the trowel up onto a concrete slab. A crane can be used to lift the trowel onto a building.
Extra care MUST be taken when lifting the machine off the ground. Serious damage to the machine or personal injury could be caused by dropping a trowel.
