INSPECTION
The following section is intended as a basic guide to the ride-on
trowel operation, and is not to be considered a complete guide
to concrete finishing. It is strongly suggested that all operators
(experienced and novice) read “Slabs on Grade ” published by
the American Concrete Institute, Detroit Michigan.
DO NOT
use your ride-on power trowel until this section is
thoroughly understood.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
ALWAYS
check engine oil before each use.
1. Pull the engine oil dipstick (Figure 6) from its holder.
