FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS!

This Owner's Manual has been developed to provide

complete instructions for the safe and efficient operation

of the MultiQuip BA-SERIES WALK-BEHIND TROWEL.

For engine maintenance information, please refer to the

engine manufacturers instructions for data relative to its

safe operation.

Before using this WALK-BEHIND TROWEL, ensure

that the operating individual has read and

understands all instructions in this manual.

SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS

The three (3) Safety Messages shown below will inform you

about potential hazards that could injure you or others. The

Safety Messages specifically address the level of exposure to

the operator, and are preceded by one of three words: DANGER,

WARNING, or CAUTION.

SERIOUSLY injured if you DO NOT follow

directions.

WARNING: You CAN be KILLED or

area or enclosed structure that does not

provide ample free flow air.

Potential hazards associated with B-Series trowel operation will

be referenced with "

this manual, and will be referenced in conjunction with Safety

Message Alert Symbols

vapors can cause an explosion if ignited. DO

NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or

combustible fluids. DO NOT fill the fuel tank

while the engine is running or hot. DO NOT

overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it

comes into contact with hot engine parts or

sparks from the ignition system. Store fuel in

approved containers, in well-ventilated areas

and away from sparks and flames. NEVER

use fuel as a cleaning agent.

Burn Hazards

To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas

while the engine is running or immediately after

operations. NEVER operate the engine with

heat shields or heat guards removed.

Rotating Parts

NEVER operate equipment with covers, or

guards removed. Keep fingers,

CAUTION:

Failure to follow instructions in this manual may

lead to serious injury or even death! This

equipment is to be operated by trained and

qualified personnel only! This equipment is

for industrial use only.

The following safety guidelines should always be used when

operating the BA-Series walk-behind trowel.

SAFETY

■

DO NOT operate or service this equipment

before reading this entire manual.

■

This equipment should not be operated by

persons under 18 years of age.

■

NEVER operate the trowel without proper protective clothing,

shatterproof glasses, steel-toed boots and other protective

devices required by the job.

■

NEVER operate this equipment when not

feeling well due to fatigue, illness or taking

medicine.

■

NEVER operate the trowel under the

influence or drugs or alcohol.

■

NEVER use accessories or attachments, which are not

recommended by Multiquip for this equipment. Damage to

the equipment and/or injury to user may result.

■

Manufacture does not assume responsibility for any accident

due to equipment modifications.

■

Whenever necessary, replace nameplate, operation and

safety decals when they become difficult read.

■

ALWAYS check the trowel for loosened threads or bolts

before starting.

■

ALWAYS use extreme caution when

working with flammable liquids. When

refueling, stop the engine and allow it

to cool.

■

NEVER

smoke

around or near the

machine. Fire or explosion could result from

fuel vapors

, or if fuel is spilled on a

hot!

engine.

■

NEVER operate the trowel in an explosive atmosphere or

near combustible materials. An explosion or fire could result

causing severe

bodily harm or even death.

■

Topping-off to filler port is dangerous, as it tends to spill fuel.

■

NEVER touch the hot exhaust

manifold, muffler or cylinder. Allow

these parts to cool before servicing

the trowel.

■

The engine of this trowel requires an adequate free flow of

cooling air. NEVER operate the trowel (except electric models)

in any enclosed or narrow

area where free flow of the

air is restricted. If the air flow

is restricted it will cause

serious damage to the

trowel's engine and may

cause injury to people.

Remember the trowel's

engine gives off

DEADLY

carbon monoxide gas.

■

HighTemperatures – Allow the engine to cool before adding

fuel or performing service and maintenance functions. Contact

with

hot!

components can cause serious burns.

■

ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks

and open flames.
