QUALITY ASSURANCE/MACHINE BREAK IN
The Bartell Ride-on Trowel is the product of extensive engineering development
designed to give long life and unmatched performance. Once machines are fully assembled, a
run-in test is performed to ensure quality standards of the highest level. A series of operational
tests are conducted on concrete, incorporating a phase of operations at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle and a
final run phase at full throttle for a minimum of 20 minutes.
You can help ensure that your Ride-on will perform at top levels by following a simple
routine on first use. Consider that your new Ride-on Trowel is like a new car. Just as you would
break in a new car to the road or any new machine to the job, you should start gradually and
build up to full use. Learn what your machine can do and how it will respond. Refer to the
engine manufacturer’s manual for run-in times. Full throttle and control may be used after this
time period, as allowed by material. This will serve to further break in the machine on your
specific application, as well as provide you with additional practice using the machine.
We thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing a Bartell Ride-on
Trowel and wish you many years of satisfied use.
