C-4 FINISHER TROWEL— PRE-INSPECTION
Fuel Check
Motor fuels are highly flammable and can be dangerous if
mishandled. DO NOT smoke while refueling. DO NOT attempt
to refuel the trowel if the engine is
hot! or running .
Explosive Fuel
V-Belt Check
A worn or damaged V-belt can adversely affect the performance
of the trowel. If a V-belt is defective or worn simply replace the V-
belt as outlined in the maintenance section of this manual.
Blade Check
Check for worn or damaged blades. Check to see if one blade is
worn out while the others look new. If this is the case there could
be a blade pitch problem. Refer to the maintenance section of
this manual for blade pitch adjustment procedure. Replace any
worn blades.
CONTROLS
Hand Clutch
Some finisher models are equipped with a hand operated
clutch. The unit automatically stops rotating when the clutch lever
is released. Clutch operation should be tested each time the
machine is started.
DO NOT let the machine sit unused with the engine at high speed
for an extended period of time. It will cause premature belt wear
or may destroy the belt. Always set the engine speed to idle when
the hand clutch is disengaged.
1. Remove the gasoline cap located on top of fuel tank.
2. Visually inspect to see if fuel level is low. If fuel is low, replenish
with unleaded fuel.
3. When refueling, be sure to use a strainer for filtration. DO
NOT top-off fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
Gearbox Oil
1. Determine if the gearbox oil is low by removing the oil
plug located on the side of the gearbox. This plug will be
marked by the "
check " decal. See Figure 7. The correct
level of the lubrication oil should be to the bottom of the fill
plug.
Figure 7. Gearbox
2. If lubrication oil begins to seep out as the drain plug is
being removed, then it can be assumed that the gearbox
has a sufficient amount of oil.
3. If lubrication oil does not seep out as the drain plug is
being removed, fill with type ISO 680 (Whiteman P/N
10139) gearbox lubricant oil until the oil filler hole overflows.
