CONCRETE FINISHING TECHNIQUES
The instructions in this manual are provided as a basic
guide to trowel operation,
not a complete guide to concrete
finishing. We suggest that all operators (experienced and
novice) read “
Slabs on Grade,” published by the American
Concrete Institute in Detroit, Michigan.

1. Release the clutch lever and verify that the trowel
blades have stopped rotating.
2. Return the throttle lever to the
IDLE position (Figure 52)
and let the engine run for three minutes at low speed.
