inSpectiOn
The following section is intended as a basic guide to the ride-on
trowel operation, and is not to be considered a complete guide
to concrete finishing. It is strongly suggested that all operators
(experienced and novice) read “Slabs on Grade ” published by
the American Concrete Institute, Detroit Michigan.
DO NOT use your ride-on power trowel until this section is
thoroughly understood.
eNgINe OIL LeveL
aLWayS check engine oil before each use.
1. Pull the engine oil dipstick (Item 2, Figure 5) from its holder.
2. Determine if engine oil is low.
Figure 5. Engine Oil Dipstick
3. If engine oil is low, remove oil filler cap (Item 1, Figure 5),
and add correct amount of engine oil to bring oil level to
a normal safe level. Use oil as recommended in Figure 6
Figure 6. Recommended Viscosity Grades
CauTION
Failure to understand the operation of the trowel could
result in severe damage to the machine or personal injury.
NOTICE
To prevent extensive engine wear or damage, always
maintain the proper oil level in the crankcase. Never
operate the engine with the oil level outside of marks
on dipstick, (Items 3 and 4 in Figure 5.)
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
geaRBOX OIL LeveL
1. Check the gearbox oil level in both gearboxes by
removing the level plug and ensuring that the oil is at
the correct level. See Figure 6.
2. Fill the gear box just to the level of the fill plug. (Figure
6) with Mobil ISO VG 640 SCH 634 oil if necessary..

FueL
Determine if the engine fuel is low (Figure 8). If fuel level is
low, remove the fuel filler cap and fill with unleaded gasoline.

DaNgeR
Handle fuel safely. Motor fuels are highly
flammable and can be dangerous if
mishandled. DO NOT smoke while
refueling. DO NOT attempt to refuel
the ride-on trowel if the engine is hot or
running. DO NOT attempt to start the engine until the
fuel residue has been completely wiped up and the
area surrounding the engine is dry.
