See Graphic 3
When the engine switch handle (b) is pressed, the engine will shut off.
To prevent uncontrolled spinning of the trowel, the engine control module is designed to
shutoff the engine under certain conditions. For example, if the operator loses his/her grip on
the trowel, the engine control module will sense that the machine is spinning and shut off the
engine. The momentum of the spinning trowel will engage the brake and stop the handle from
spinning past 270°.

● oil level in engine
