OPERATION ELEMENTS
V- belt is driven gearbox by engine, and then transmit torque to trowel and the machine working. The trowels can be
adjusted due to the stature of operator through pitch control assembly. Dead man switch designs provide safe and
stable operation. Holding the deadman lever before start the engine, and loosening deadman lever the machine will
stop working.
OPERATION (Floating)
When the slab has set sufficiently firm that the operator’s footprint leaves a very slight depression on the surface of the
slab, it is ready for the floating operation.
Guiding the machine on the slab is very simple; a slight upward lift of the handle causes the machine to travel to the
left. Holding the handle in the neutral position, will slowly cause the machine to spin in one spot. Slight downward
pressure on the handle causes the machine to the travel to the right. Best results are obtained by covering
approximately 4” on each turn. In other words, let the machine move right or left, backwards or forwards,
approximately 4” with each revolution of the trowels. To fill a hole or cut down hump, move the unit back and forth
over the problem area.
Under normal operating conditions the machine should cover as much as 1000 sq. ft. in about 15 minutes. It is
recommended that a slight tension on the trowel control cable, (but not a definite tilt), during the floating operation
will cause the machine to operate much smoother. After the floated slab has set sufficiently, it is ready for the finishing
operation.
CAUTION! Do not let the machine stand in one spot on the soft cement. Lift from the slab when the floating
operation is complete.
