LOAD AND UNLOAD SAFELY<br />
PRECAUTIONS<br />
• Power trowels are heavy and awkward to move<br />
around.<br />
• Do not attempt to lift the ride-on trowel by the<br />
guard rings.<br />
• Use proper heavy lifting procedures.<br />
• Keep all non-essential personnel clear of the<br />
area.<br />
• Never hoist the trowel over areas where people<br />
are standing or working.<br />
• Remove tools and loose items before lifting.<br />
• Make sure the crossbars on the safety catches<br />
are in good condition if so equipped.<br />
• Always consult your operator’s manual for the<br />
best and proper lifting, loading, and unloading<br />
methods.<br />
WALK-BEHIND TROWELS<br />

attachments. Generally however, they must be<br />

lifted using lifting bales (special lifting brackets), or<br />
other specific lifting points provided by the<br />
manufacturer, and cranes, hoists, or forklifts. Be<br />
certain any lifting devices used have adequate<br />
capacity.<br />
RIDE-ON TROWELS<br />
Ride-on trowels are very heavy. They require<br />
heavy-duty lifting devices such as cranes or heavyduty<br />
hoists to lift them on and off the concrete slab.<br />
Be certain any lifting devices used have adequate<br />
capacity. Some ride-on trowels are equipped with<br />
lifting bosses that are used with specialized<br />
apparatus to assist in moving the trowels around.<br />
Use extreme care when lifting or moving a ride-on<br />
trowel.<br />
STORAGE<br />
Always store equipment properly when it is not<br />
being used. Equipment should be stored in a clean,<br />
dry location out of reach of children.<br />
