STX-SERIES — TROWEL SETUP

Trowel Setup

The purpose of this section is to assist the user in setting up a

NEW

trowel. If your trowel is already assembled, (seat, handles,

knobs and battery), this section can be skipped.

Before packaging and shipping, this STX SERIES Ride-On

Power Trowel was run and tested at the factory. If there are

problems, please let us know.

1. Remove the seat from the protective wrapping.

2. Remove the bolts on the bottom of the seat, and place seat

on the seat mounting plate, then insert the bolts through

the holes or slots on the seat mounting plate and tighten.

Seat Assembly

The seat is not installed on the trowel for shipping purposes. To

attach the seat perform the following:

To install the battery on the trowel, make sure that the battery is

well seated in the battery box. Connect the positive cable to the

positive terminal on the battery first, then connect the negative

cable to the negative terminal. Close the plastic battery box cover

and secure the battery box.

The STX trowels have a seat that

is mounted on tracks, similar to an

automobile seat. This seat can be

adjusted fore and aft via the control

lever under the front of the seat.

The new trowel cannot be put into

service until the pre-setup

installation instructions are

completed. These pre-setup

instructions only need to be

performed at the time of unpacking
