WARNING
NEVER stand under or allow anyone
else to stand under the trowel while it
is being lifted.
Pay close attention to ventilation when
operating the trowel in confined spaces
such as tunnels, buildings or similar areas.
The engine exhaust contains harmful
elements. Ensure proper air flow to move
engine exhaust away from the operator.
Lifting the Ride-On Trowel
This ride-on trowel is very
heavy
and awkward to move
around. Use proper heavy lifting procedures and DO NOT
attempt to lift the ride-on trowel by the guard rings.
The HTN-Series Ride-On Power Trowel is designed to be moved
and handled several ways.
The easiest way to lift the trowel is to utilize the lift loops that are
welded to the frame. These lift loops are located to the left and
right sides of the operator’s seat.
A strap or chain can be attached to these lift loops, allowing a
forklift or crane to lift the trowel up onto and off of a slab of concrete.
The strap or chain should have a minimum 2,000 pounds (1000-
kg) lifting capacity and the lifting gear must be capable of lifting
at least this amount.
