SECTION 2
OPERATIONS
With the operator in the seat, show them the functions of the joysticks [B] and [C] and how to start the
machine.
A hard level concrete slab with water on the surface is an ideal place for an operator to practice with the
machine. For practice pitch the blades up approximately 1/4 inch on the trailing edge. Start by making
the machine hover in one spot and then practice driving the machine in a straight line and making 180
degree turns. Best control is achieved at full engine RPM.
After starting the engines fully engage the throttle. This allows the engines to warm up quicker and also
engages the torque converter. At this time the machine’s rotors will begin turning.
DO NOT
use excessive pressure on the joysticks. Excessive pressure does not increase the reaction
time of the machine and can damage steering controls.
Stopping The Riding Trowel
To stop the trowel’s movement, let go of the joysticks [B] and [C]. They will return to their neutral posi
-
tion. Also release pressure on the right foot pedal [E].
This machine has a kill switch mechanism installed in the left and right foot pedals. If in need of an
emergency stop, simply lifting the foot off of the pedals will turn the engines off completely.
