SUGGESTED TRAINING
Note: ONLY QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED PERSONNEL
SHOULD OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT
Before taking your new equipment to the job site for it’s first
use, there are a few things that should be considered before
operation.
Handling
Know how to transport your trowel properly. Keep in mind that
you will need to place your trowel on a slab of concrete in the
middle of construction area. How will you accomplish this? Do
you need any special equipment for lifting or transport? These
are questions that you should be able to answer.
Operation
Perhaps it would be wise to familiarize yourself with machine
operation before placing your machine on a slab. It would of use
to understand how your trowel will behave and how it is
controlled. The best way to do this is to test run your machine.
To test run your machine, place it on a flat piece of existing
finished concrete. Before starting the machine, make sure that
the area around the machine is clear of any obstructions and
people. Test running your machine will give a good idea as to
how the machine will operate under normal conditions. Keep in
mind that running a machine on dry concrete could wear your
blades at an accelerated rate.
Training Checklist
For proper operator training please use the attached sheet
OPERATOR TRAINING CHECKLIST. It is located at the end of
this manual. This sheet will list some of the minimums for basic
operation of the machine. Please feel free to detach it and
make copies. This sheet is a checklist by which an experienced
operator can provide training to a new operator. This sheet
should help to familiarize the new operator with the machine.
It covers basic machine controls and use, but it is not to be
considered a complete training exercise. Nor is it to be
considered a complete guide to concrete finishing.
