TROWEL SAFETY

DANGER

Engine fuel exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can cause death if inhaled.

The engine of this equipment requires an adequate free flow of cooling air. NEVER operate this equipment in any enclosed or narrow area where the free flow of air is restricted. If the air flow is restricted it will cause injury to people and property and serious damage to the equipment or engine

NEVER operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere or near combustible materials. An explosion or fire could result causing severe bodily harm or even death.

WARNING

ALWAYS keep clear of rotating or moving parts while operating the trowel.

DO NOT start or operate the trowel if the drive train will not disengage. Centrifugal force between the trowel and surface when starting can cause uncontrolled handle movement that can cause serious injury. The handle must not move while pulling the engine recoil starter.

DO NOT operate the engine with heat shields or guards removed.

Keep fingers, hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury.

DO NOT remove the engine oil drain plug while the engine is hot. Allow the oil to cool before performing maintenance. This will prevent scalding of personnel.

NOTION

DO NOT run the engine without an air filter or with a dirty air filter. Severe engine damage may occur. Service the air filter frequently to prevent engine malfunction.

FUEL SAFETY

DANGER

DO NOT add fuel to the equipment if it is placed inside a truck bed with a plastic liner. The possibility exists of explosion or fi re due to static electricity.

ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable liquids.


DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.

NEVER overfill the fuel tank. Spilled fuel can ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from the ignition system.

Store fuel in appropriate containers, in well-ventilated areas, away from sparks and flames.

NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.

NEVER smoke around or near the equipment. Fire or explosion could result
from fuel vapors or if fuel is spilled on a hot engine.

CAUTION

DO NOT allow any person or animal to stand underneath the equipment while it is being lifted.

NOTION

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 bails and cranes, hoists, or forklifts.

DO NOT lift the equipment while the engine is running.

Tighten the fuel tank cap securely and close the fuel cock to prevent fuel from spilling during transport.

Use adequate lifting cable (wire or rope) of sufficient strength.

NEVER lift the machine to unnecessary heights.

ALWAYS tie down the equipment securely with rope during transport.

ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY/DECOMMISSIONING

NOTION

Decommissioning is a controlled process used to safely retire a piece of equipment that is no longer serviceable. If the equipment poses an unacceptable and unrepairable safety risk due to wear or damage or is no longer cost effective to maintain (beyond life-cycle reliability) and is to be decommissioned (demolition and dismantlement), be sure to follow the rules below.

DO NOT pour waste or oil directly onto the ground, down a drain or into any water source.

Contact your country’s Department of Public Works or the recycling agency in
your area and arrange for proper disposal of any electrical components, waste, or oil associated with this equipment.

When the life cycle of this equipment is over, remove the battery and bring it to an appropriate facility for lead reclamation. Use safety precautions when handling batteries that contain sulfuric acid.

When the life cycle of this equipment is over, it is recommended that the trowel frame and all other metal parts be sent to a recycling center.

Metal recycling involves the collection of metal from discarded products and its transformation into raw materials to use in manufacturing a new product.

Recyclers and manufacturers alike promote the process of recycling metal. Using a metal recycling center promotes energy cost savings.
