STH-55JD-TC — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Moving the Ride-On Trowel
CAUTION
This ride-on trowel is very
heavy
and awkward to move around. Use proper heavy lifting procedures and DO
NOT attempt to lift the ride-on trowel by the guard rings.
The STH series Ride-on Power Trowel is designed to be moved and handled several ways. The easiest way to lift the ride-on
trowel is to utilize the lift loops that are welded to the frame. These lift loops are located to the left and right sides of the operator’s
seat (Figure 3, Page 11).
A strap or chain can be attached to these lift loops, allowing a forklift or crane to lift the ride-on trowel up onto a slab of concrete.
The strap or chain should have a minimum 2,000 pounds (1000-kg) lifting capacity and the lifting gear must be capable of lifting
at least this amount.
Table 1 below defines and illustrates the various safety decals used on the ride-on trowel:
Note:
See page 57 for addintional decal information.
