Starting the Engine
1. Place the engine fuel valve lever (Figure 17) to the "ON"
position.
DO NOT attempt to operate the trowel until
the Safety, General Information and
Inspection sections of this manual have
been read and thoroughly understood.
Depending on engine manufacturer,
operating steps may vary. See engine

With one person lifting from the main handle (Figure 16), and
another person lifting from the front of the frame, lift the trowel onto
a slab.
Figure 16. Lifting the Trowel
Lifting Bail
A lifting bail is provided at an optimal lifting point for moving the
trowel.
A hoist or forklift can be used to lift the trowel up onto a
concrete slab. A crane can be used to lift the trowel onto a building.
Extra care MUST be taken when lifting the machine off the ground.
Serious damage to the machine or personal injury could be
caused by dropping a trowel.
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION
When lifting of the trowel is required always
use
two people to lift the trowel onto a slab.
If another person is not available attach a
crane or lifting device to the trowel's lifting
bale.
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION
The trowel must be stabilized by the person
carrying the
operator’s handle (Figure 16).
If it is not stabilized properly the handle may
swing around and
flip the trowel, thus causing
damage to the trowel and bodily injury.
