bends, or deformation of plates and welds. Check for loose, broken or missing parts on the
trowel, including brackets, vibration isolators, nuts and bolts. Hardware should be replaced
with original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) parts, and should be properly tightened to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Remove all trash and debris from the trowel. Make sure oily rags,
leaves, or other flammable material are removed and not stored on the
trowel. Avoid potential fire hazards!
Clean all oil or grease from operator areas such as control handles,
foot pedals, or platforms to prevent slipping.
Check for fuel, oil, and hydraulic fluid leaks. All leaks must be corrected
