LOAD AND UNLOAD SAFELY
PRECAUTIONS
Power trowels are heavy and awkward to move around.
Do not attempt to lift the ride-on trowel by the guard rings.
Use proper heavy lifting procedures.
Keep all non-essential personnel clear of the area.
Never hoist the trowel over areas where people are standing or working.
Remove tools and loose items before lifting.
Make sure the crossbars on the safety catches are in good condition if so equipped.
• Always consult your operator’s manual for the best and proper lifting, loading, and
unloading methods.
WALK-BEHIND TROWELS
Some walk-behind trowels can be lifted or moved by two people utilizing lifting tubes or
other special attachments. Generally however, they must be lifted using lifting bales (special
lifting brackets), or other specific lifting points provided by the manufacturer, and cranes,
hoists, or forklifts. Be certain any lifting devices used have adequate capacity.
RIDE-ON TROWELS
Ride-on trowels are very heavy. They require heavy-duty lifting devices such as cranes or
heavy-duty hoists to lift them on and off the concrete slab.
Be certain any lifting devices used have adequate capacity. Some ride-on trowels are
equipped with lifting bosses that are used with specialized apparatus to assist in moving the
trowels around. Use extreme care when lifting or moving a ride-on trowel.
STORAGE
Always store equipment properly when it is not being used. Equipment should be stored in
a clean, dry location out of reach of children.
PERFORM MAINTENANCE SAFELY
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety
hazard! In order for your trowel to operate safely and
properly over a long period of time, periodic
maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
Do not attempt to clean, service, or perform adjustments on the
trowel while it is running.
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
Keep area clean and dry if possible. Oily and wet surfaces are
