WALK BEHIND POWER TROWEL INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

 

STORAGE 

The  following  steps  should  be  taken  to  prepare  your 

Walk-Behind Power Trowel for extended storage. 

1.  Close fuel shut off valve. 

2.  Siphon excess gasoline from tank. 

3.  Start engine until it stops from lack of fuel. This will 

use  up  all  the  fuel  in  the  carburetor  and  prevent 

formation  of  deposits  due  to  evaporation  of  fuel. 

 

4.  Remove  spark  plug  and  pour  2  oz.  of  SA

E

10W 30 

motor oil into the cylinder. Slowly crank

 the

 

engine

2  or 3  times to distribute the  oil throughout 

the  cylinder.  This  will  help  prevent  rust  during 

storage. Replace spark plug. 

5.  Store  the  unit  in  an  upright  position  in  a  cool,  dry, 

well ventilated area. 

MAINTENANCE 

Maintaining  your  Walk-Behind  Power  Trowel  will  insure 

long life to the machine and its components. 

AIR CLEANER

 - Keep air filter clean at all times. Wash 

away  dust  and  debris  using  a  non-oil  based  cleaning 

solvent. Let the filter dry before re-installing. 

LUBRICATION

  –  Check  engine  oil  regularly.  Use 

proper  engine  oil  as  recommended.  See  previous 

chart.  Fill  crankcase  to  levels  as  recommended  in 

manufacture’s engine manual. 

SPARK  PLUG

 

– 

Check  and  clean  spark  plugs 

regularly. A fouled, dirty or carboned spark plug causes 

hard starting and poor engine performance. Set spark 

plug gap  to recommended clearance.  Refer to engine 

manual. 

BELT TENSION –

 

IMPORTANT!

 

If there is excessive belt play, there will be a decrease 

in the power transmission capability which could lead to 

premature wear and failure of the belt. The normal belt 

play should be 1/2” to 5/8” which is attained by 

depressing one side of the belt at the mid-point of the 

span between pulleys. Tighten all engine mount 

fasteners.
