HPHA36C5H TROWEL — INITIAL START-UP
This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial
start-up of the walk-behind trowel. It is extremely important that
this section be read carefully before attempting to use the trowel
in the field.
DO NOT
use your trowel until this section is thoroughly
understood.
Starting the Engine
1. Place the engine
fuel valve lever
(Figure 21) to the "
ON
"

2. Move the throttle lever (Figure 22) to the "
idle
" position.

LIFTING THE TROWEL ONTO THE SLAB.
Auxiliary Lifting Tube
Remove the auxiliary lifting tube located on top of the main handle.
Insert the tube into the socket located on the opposite side of the
gearbox (Figure 20) from the handle.
Make sure that the hole in the tube engages with the pin in the
socket. With one person lifting from the main handle, and another
lifting from the auxiliary lifting tube pick up the machine to move
onto a slab.
Figure 20. Lifting the Trowel
Lifting Bail (Option)
The lift bail is optional on new trowels. It provides an optimal lift
point for moving the trowel.
Lift bails
can be used to lift a trowel
up onto a building with a crane. See “
Optional Equipment
”
section in this manual for ordering information.
Using a
crane
to move a machine with a lift bail is highly
recommended, and is safe for the machine. Extra care should be
taken when lifting the machine off the ground, though. Serious
damage to the machine or personal injury could be caused by
dropping a trowel.
The trowel is
heavy
and
awkward
to move around. Use
proper heavy lifting procedures and
DO NOT
lift the trowel
by the guard rings.

DO NOT
attempt to operate the trowel until the Safety,
General Information and Inspection sections of this manual
have been read and thoroughly understood. Depending
on engine manufacturer, operating steps may vary. See
engine manufactures operating manual. The following start-
up procedure makes reference to a
HONDA
5.5 HP Engine
(Manual Start).
The trowel must be stabilized by the person carrying the
operator’s handle
(Figure 20). If it is not stabilized properly
the handle may swing around and
flip
the trowel, thus causing
damage to the trowel and bodily injury.
