STR46SPVGH — INITIAL START-UP
This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial
start-up of the STR46SPVGH trowel. It is extremely important
that this section be read carefully before attempting to use the
trowel in the field.
DO NOT use your trowel until this section is thoroughly
understood.
1. Check the gearbox oil level in both gearboxes
by viewing the sight glass at the rear of the
gearbox. See Figure 8.
Fuel
Determine if the engine fuel is low (Figure 9). If fuel level is low,
remove the fuel filler cap and fill with appropriate engine fuel.
The STR46SPVGH uses gasoline fuel.
2. The oil level of the gear box should be at the half-way point
of the sight glass (Figure 8). The gear box oil capacity is
144 oz., (4.26 liters). If additional oil is required, unscrew
the oil fill plug located on top of the gearbox, and refill with
ISO 220 A GMA GR 5 EP oil.

correct amount of engine oil to bring oil level
to a normal safe level. (See Recommended
Viscosity Grades, Table 4, Page 24).
