2) Oil level in riding trowel gearboxes.
3) Fuel level in fuel tank.
4) Condition of air filter on engine.

2.9.2 Starting Procedures
Before starting riding trowel, refer to Figure 2.2.1 and Figure 2.2.2 for location and
identification of operational and visual controls pertaining to the operation of the riding
trowel.
1) Sit down correctly on the riding trowel seat.
DO NOT
attempt to start the
riding trowel without an operator in the seat.
2) If engine is cold, pull out the choke lever located in the control zone (refer
to Figure 2.2.1). Press down on throttle pedal (located by the operator’s
right foot) one to two times.
To much throttle during start-up will
flood the engine.
3) Turn ignition switch key to the start-position, immediately release key when
engine starts. If after two or three attempts the engine has not started push in
choke. Attempt to start trowel again. Allow engine to warm up for 5 minutes
before operating riding trowel.
Operating the starter for more than 5
seconds can damage
the starter or engine. If engine fails to start release the switch
and wait 15 seconds before operating starter again.
