ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Your new trowel has been shipped to you fully assembled. All you need to do is unfold the
handle and fasten the knob. Remove any shipping or packing materials. Be sure to remove
and discard the band securing the safety/stop switch to the left handle. This serves only to
facilitate shipping and is not intended to be a permanent feature. When removing the
machine from the carton, be careful to use the handles to left the unit from the carton.
NEVER LIFT THE MACHINE BY THE RING OR DISC. Filling the fuel tank and a brief check
of lubricant levels in preparation for operation is required.
IMPORTANT:
Before running machine with belt installed, ensure that engine idles
properly and that the safety-switch shuts off the engine.
ATTENTION:
For any information regarding engine adjustments, please refer to the
engine manual supplied.

OPERATION (Floating)
When the slab has set sufficiently firm that the operator’s footprint leaves a very slight
depression on the surface of the slab, it is ready for the floating operation.
Guiding the machine on the slab is very simple, a slight upward lift of the handle causes the
machine to travel to the left. Holding the handle in the neutral position, will slowly cause the
machine to spin in one spot. Slight downward pressure on the handle causes the machine to
travel to the right. Best results are obtained by covering a
pproximately 4” on each turn. In
other words, let the machine move right or left, backwards or forwards, approximately 4” with
each revolution of the trowels. To fill a hole or cut down a hump, move the unit back and forth
over the problem area.
Under normal operating conditions the machine should cover as much as 1000 sq. ft. in
about 15 minutes. It is recommended that a slight tension on the trowel control cable, (but
not
a definite tilt), during the floating operation will cause the machine to operate much
smoother. After the floated slab has set sufficiently, it is ready for the finishing operation.
CAUTION:
Do not let the machine stand in one spot on the soft cement. Lift from the slab
when the floating operation is complete.
