SAFE WORKING PROCEDURES
DANGER – CARBON MONOXIDE
Exhaust from the engine contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas
that is not easily detected as it is
colorless and odorless. Exposure
to carbon monoxide can cause
loss of consciousness and may
lead to death! Do not operate
your trowel indoors or in an enclosed area unless
adequate ventilation is provided. Ensure that
permissible carbon monoxide levels are monitored
and not exceeded.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
• Never leave the trowel unattended while it is
running.
• Always keep clear of rotating or moving parts.
• Never use additional weights other than the
weights recommended by the manufacturer. The
use of unauthorized weights could lead to
personal injury or damage to the trowel.
• Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is
running. Turn the engine off and allow it to cool
before refueling.
• The muffler, exhaust pipes and
other engine parts will become
hot during operation and will
remain hot for a while after
shutdown. Do not touch until
allowed to sufficiently cool. Do
not allow debris, rags, paper, or
leaves to accumulate around
these areas.
• Do not keep tools, buckets, loose materials on
the trowel while it is running and never allow
anyone other than the operator on or near the
trowel while it is in operation.
• Do not use the trowel for any purpose other than
its intended purposes or applications.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
Some walk-behind trowels are powered by electric
motors. Electric motors and components present
special hazards during operation. Read the
operator’s manual.
• Never operate a trowel with a damaged or worn
electrical cord. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current load. When trowel is used outdoors, use
only extension cords that are marked for outdoor
use.
• Use only appropriate
extension cords that have
grounding-type plugs and
receptacles that accept the
machine’s plug.
• Keep all electrical cords away from rotating
elements, heat, oil, and sharp edges to avoid
damaging them.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, metal railings, radiators and metal
ductwork.
• Always check the power supply before running
the trowel. Using the wrong voltage supply will
damage the motor.
• Always make sure the motor switch is OFF or in
the stop position before plugging the trowel into
the power supply.
• Do not operate an electric powered trowel in the
rain or snow. Keep the motor, switch, and
electrical cords dry.
• Never operate the trowel in areas exposed to
flammable or explosive liquids or gases. Sparks
could ignite fumes.
