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.

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. Always replace
any worn or damaged blades.
CONTROLS
Safety Stop Switch
This trowel has been equipped with a safety safety stop switch.
Safety stop switches should be tested every time the engine is
started.
Centrifugal Type Safety Stop Switch
(Figure 15) The switching mechanism of this switch should
operate freely and should
always be kept in this condition. With
the switch in the "OFF" position, the engine should not start or
run. The purpose of this switch is to stop the engine in a runaway
situation, (i.e. the operator releasing the handle during operation).
Gearbox Oil
1. Determine if the gearbox oil is low by viewing the oil sight
glass/fill plug located on the side of the gearbox. This plug
will be marked by the "
check " decal. See (Figure 14). The
correct level of the lubrication oil should be to the bottom of
the sight glass/fill plug.

2. If lubrication oil cannot be seen in the sight glass, fill with
type ISO 680 (P/N 10139) gearbox lubricant oil until the oil
will show at the center of the oil sight glass when the
gearbox is level..
