WARNING: Do not place foot on the ring guard when starting the engine, as

severe injury can occur if foot slips through the ring guard as the blades start to

spin.

Note: If the engine oil is low, the engine will not start. If engine does not start, check the

oil level and add oil as needed.

4.9.5 Open choke as engine warms (i2).

4.9.6 Open throttle (a2) to operate trowel. Adjust blade RPM with throttle speed to suit
