To familiarize a new operator with the Riding Trowel the following
steps should be taken:
4.2.1
With the operator in the seat, show him or her the functions of the
joysticks
(c)
and how to start the machine.
4.2.2
Have the operator practice steering the trowel. A hard concrete slab
slightly wetted with water is an ideal place for an operator to practice
with the machine. For this practice, pitch the blades up approximately
¼" on the leading edge. Start by making the machine hover in one
spot, and then practice driving the machine in a straight line and
making 180° turns. The
best control
is achieved at full rpm.

4.3.1
To break in the gearboxes, run the engine at 50% of full throttle for the
first 2–4 hours. This will prevent premature wear and extend gear life.
NOTICE
:
Running the engine at full throttle during the break-in period
could result in premature gear failure.
4.3.2
Verify that the the horizontal blade pitch links are properly assembled.
When seated on the machine, the right rotor should have an
“R”
designation located towards the upper portion of the pitch link and the
left rotor should have an
“L”
.
