Trowel.qxd 11/24/04 10:18 AM Page 5 A WORD TO THE USER Remember that YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you but also protect the people around you. It is your responsibility to study this manual and the manufacturer’s manual(s) for your specific machine before operating your machine. Make them a working part of your safety program. Keep in mind that this safety manual is written for concrete power trowels only.
Trowel.qxd 11/24/04 10:18 AM Page 7 PREPARE FOR SAFE OPERATION LEARN TO BE SAFE SAFETY DEVICES • Read the operator’s manual. If one has not been provided, get one and study it before operating the equipment. Know what safety devices your trowel is equipped with … and see that each item is securely in place and in operating condition. • Learn the location and understand the functions of all controls before attempting to operate the equipment.
Trowel.qxd 11/24/04 10:18 AM Page 9 PREPARE FOR SAFE OPERATION FIRE PREVENTION Inspect electrical wiring for damage or wear. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling. Batteries produce explosive gas. Keep open flame or sparks away. Never refuel – • While smoking In case of accident or fire, be ready to act quickly, yet calmly. Do not panic.
Trowel.qxd 11/24/04 10:18 AM Page 11 START SAFELY START CORRECTLY – START SAFELY Before starting, check for proper functioning of all operation and shutdown controls. Check all controls to be sure they are in the correct startup position. Know the proper starting procedure for your trowel. Follow the manufacturer’s operational instructions. WALK-BEHIND TROWELS • Ensure that the operator is familiar with the trowel and is trained on its operation.
Trowel.qxd 11/24/04 10:18 AM Page 13 WORK SAFELY SAFE WORKING PROCEDURES DANGER – CARBON MONOXIDE Exhaust from the engine contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that is not easily detected as it is colorless and odorless. Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death! Do not operate your trowel indoors or in an enclosed area unless adequate ventilation is provided. Ensure that permissible carbon monoxide levels are monitored and not exceeded.
Trowel.qxd 11/24/04 10:18 AM Page 15 SHUT DOWN SAFELY SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES Never disable or disconnect the safety devices! Always close fuel valves when the machine is not being used. Refer to the manufacturer’s manuals for specific shut down procedures. 15 Trowel.qxd 11/24/04 10:18 AM Page 16 LOAD AND UNLOAD SAFELY PRECAUTIONS • Power trowels are heavy and awkward to move around. • Do not attempt to lift the ride-on trowel by the guard rings. • Use proper heavy lifting procedures.
Trowel.qxd 11/24/04 10:18 AM Page 17 PERFORM MAINTENANCE SAFELY SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY GENERAL PROCEDURES Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order for your trowel to operate safely and properly over a long period of time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary. Do not perform any work on the trowel unless you are authorized to do so. Do not attempt to clean, service, or perform adjustments on the trowel while it is running.
Trowel.qxd 11/24/04 10:18 AM Page 19 PERFORM MAINTENANCE SAFELY FIRE PREVENTION Avoid fire hazards. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before you refuel the trowel. Do not refuel while smoking or near open flame or sparks. Never overfill fuel tanks or fluid reservoirs. Remove all trash or debris. Make sure oily rags or other flammable materials are not stored on or in the trowel. Check for fuel, oil, or hydraulic fluid leaks. Repair the leaks and clean the machine before you operate it.
Trowel.qxd 11/24/04 10:18 AM Page 21 PERFORM MAINTENANCE SAFELY TROWEL BLADES AND PANS HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS • Do not attempt to clean, service or perform adjustments on the trowel while it is running. Hydraulic fluid systems operate under high pressure. Even a small leak can have enough force to penetrate the eyes or skin. If injury occurs, seek immediate medical treatment by a physician familiar with injuries that are caused by hydraulic oil escaping under pressure.
Trowel.qxd 11/24/04 10:18 AM Page 23 A FINAL WORD TO THE USER Remember that YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you but protect the people around you. You have read this safety manual and the manufacturer’s manual(s) for your specific trowel. Make them a working part of your safety program.
