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.
When charging the battery, always wear eye protection and
rubber gloves. Use the following rules when charging the
battery:
1. Remove the seat from the protective wrapping.
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 and tighten.
There are two types of seats,
depending on what type of trowel
you have. J and H series trowels
have slots on the seat mounting
plate that allow fore and aft
adjustment of the seat. H-series
trowels have a seat that is mounted
on tracks, similar to an automobile seat. This seat can be adjusted
fore and aft via the control lever under the front of the seat.
Trowel Pre-Set-Up Instructions
The purpose of this section is to assist the user in the setting up
of a
NEW trowel. If your trowel is already assembled (seats,
handles, knobs and battery, then this section can be skipped.
To install the battery on the trowel, make sure that the
battery is well seated in the battery box and the
terminals are properly connected. Close the plastic
battery box cover and secure the battery box.
■ DO NOT expose the battery to
open flames, sparks, cigarettes
etc. The battery contains
combustible gases and liquids. If these gases and liquids
come in contact with a flame or spark, an explosion could
occur.
■ ALWAYS keep the battery charged. If the battery is not
charged a buildup of combustible gas will occur.
■ ALWAYS keep battery charging and cables in good working
condition. Repair or replace all worn cables.
■ ALWAYS recharge the battery in an vented air environment,
to avoid risk of a dangerous concentration of combustible
gases.
