Trowel Pre-Set Up Instructions
The purpose of this section is to assist the user in setting up a
NEW
trowel. If your trowel is already assembled, (seat, handles,
knobs and battery), this section can be skipped.
Before packaging and shipping, this HTN SERIES Ride-On
Power Trowel was run and tested at the factory. If there are
problems, please let us know.

Remove the seat from the protective wrapping.
2.
Remove the bolts on the bottom of the seat, and place seat
on the seat mounting plate, then insert the bolts through
the holes or slots on the seat mounting plate and tighten.
Battery Setup
This trowel was shipped with a wet charged battery. This battery
may need to be charged for a brief period of time as per the
manufacturer instructions.
Seat Assembly
The seat is not installed on the trowel for shipping purposes.
To attach the seat perform the following:
Some models are equipped with
adjustable height handles. Adjust the
height by placing the bolt through the
set of holes that corresponds to the
most comfortable height.
To install the battery on the trowel, make sure that the battery is
well seated in the battery box.. Connect the positive cable to the
positive terminal on the battery first, then connect the negative
cable to the negative terminal. Close the plastic battery box cover
and secure the battery box.
There are two types of seats,
depending on what type of trowel
you have. J and B series trowels have
slots on the seat mounting plate that
allow
fore
and
aft
adjustment of the
seat. H-series trowels have a seat that is mounted on tracks,
similar to an automobile seat. This seat can be adjusted
fore
and
aft
via the control lever under the front of the seat.
The new trowel cannot be put into
service until the pre-setup installation
instructions are completed. These
pre-setup instructions only need to
be performed at the time of
unpacking a
NEW
trowel.
Use all safety precautions specified by the battery
manufacturer when working with the battery. See further
specific safety information on page 12 of this manual.
