a safety
kill switch
. This switch is located beneath the
seat assembly. Remember the engine will not start unless
an operator is sitting in the operator’s seat. The weight
of an operator depresses an electrical switch, which will
allow the engine to start.
DO NOT grab hold of the joysticks or pitch
tower assemblies to lift yourself onto the
trowel. Pulling on the joysticks or pitch
towers assemblies repeatedly will weaken
the units. Use any part of the frame to lift
yourself on the trowel.
