The purpose of this section is to assist the user in setting
up a NeW trowel. If the trowel is already assembled, (seats,
handles, knobs and battery), this section can be skipped.
Before packaging and shipping, this ride-on power trowel
was run and tested at the factory. If there are problems,
please let us know.

1. Remove the bolts from the plastic bag tied to the
control towers.
2. Remove all protective wrapping and straps from the
control handles.
3. Slip the top (loose) control handle piece into the base
of the corresponding handle, making sure to line up
the holes.
4. Install the bolt through the lined up holes and tighten
the acorn nut onto the threaded end.
5. Pay close attention to any wires that may be inside
the control handles. DO NOT pinch or cut any wires
during installation.
6. Remove the two knobs from the plastic bag for the
pitch control tower cranks and install the knobs onto
the tower crank levers.
NOTICE
A new ride-on trowel cannot be put into service until the
following installation instructions are completed. These
instructions only need to be performed at the time of
unpacking a NeW trowel.
NOTICE
Models equipped with adjustable height handles are
adjusted by placing the bolt through the set of holes
that bring the handles to a height most comfortable for
the operator.

The seat is not installed on the trowel for shipping purposes.
To attach the seat, perform the following:

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

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.
To install the battery on the trowel, make sure that the
battery is well seated in the battery box. The positive cable,
normally red, is associated with the "+" symbol on the
battery. The negative cable, normally black, is associated
with the "-" symbol on the battery. See Figure 4. 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.
