OPERATION (Finishing)
5
When starting the finishing operation, never set the trowels up over 1/4" pitch.
After the floating operation, the first thing to do is to remove the floating disc from the blades. Clean the blades, spider
plate and disc from cement paste collected during the floating operation. Increase the blade pitch up to a maximum of 1
cm for the first finishing operation and then continue to increase the pitch on the following finishing operations.
Continue the finishing passes until you obtain the desired floor finish. The time required between each finishing pass is
again dependent on the weather conditions and water content of the concrete etc. If some areas of the concrete
set/harden too fast you may apply a small amount of water using a hand brush as an aid to achieving the finish.
STARTING & STOPPING PROCEDURE
1. Before operation checks
a. Check the oil level: Before beginning your preoperational checks, be sure the engine is level and the engine switch
is in the OFF. Remove the filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it
into the filler hole. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick. If the oil level is low, remove the oil filler cap, and fill to
the upper limit mark on the dipstick with recommended oil. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. The engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline with a
research octane rating of 90 or higher. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and
extends exhaust system life. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt
or water in the fuel tank.
b. Check air filter: Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter. Clean or replace dirty filter elements. Always
replace damaged filter elements. If equipped with an oil-bath air cleaner, also check the oil level.
Notice! Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
2. Start engine/Stopping engine procedure
a. Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position. b. Move the choke lever to the CLOSE position. If the engine is
warm or the air temperature is high, move the control lever away
from the OPEN position as soon as the engine starts.
c. Move the throttle lever away from the
SLOW position, about 1/3 of the way to
toward the FAST position. d. Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
