This safety manual is intended to point out some of
the basic situations which may be encountered
during the normal operation and maintenance of
your walk-behind or ride-on concrete power trowel
and to suggest possible ways of dealing with these
conditions.
Additional precautions may be necessary,
depending on application and attachments used
and conditions at the work site or in the
maintenance area.
The trowel manufacturer has no direct control over
machine application, operation, inspection,
lubrication, or maintenance. Therefore, it is your
responsibility to use good safety practices in these
areas.
Do not use the trowel for any purpose other than its
intended purposes or applications.
The information provided in this manual
supplements the specific information about your
machine and its application that is contained in the
manufacturer’s manual(s).
Other information which may affect the safe
operation of your machine may be displayed on
safety signs, or in insurance requirements,
employer’s safety programs, safety codes, local,
state/provincial, and federal laws, rules, and
regulations.
If you do not understand any of this information, or
if errors or contradictions seem to exist, consult
with your supervisor before operating your trowel!
IMPORTANT: If you do not have the
manufacturer’s manual(s) for your particular
machine, get a replacement manual from your
employer, equipment dealer, or manufacturer of
your machine. Keep this safety manual and the
manufacturer’s manual(s) accessible to the
operator and maintenance personnel.
