inSpectiOn
This section is intended to assist the operator with the
initial start-up of the trowel. It is extremely important that
this section be read carefully before attempting to use the
trowel in the field.
DO NOT use your ride-on power trowel until this section is
thoroughly understood.
eNgINe OIL LeveL
1. Lift (tilt) seat forward to access engine oil dipstick.
2. Pull the engine oil dipstick (Figure 6) from its holder.
3. Determine if engine oil is low. Oil level should be
between the upper land lower limit on the dipstick.
4. If oil level is low add correct amount of engine oil to bring
oil level to a normal safe level (See Recommended
Viscosity Grades, Table 6).
5. Allow enough time for any added oil to make its way
to the oil pan before rechecking.
