Sound Pressure Level Information:
Sound pressure is “A” weighted . Measured at the operators ear position while the ride-on trowel is operating at
full throttle on concrete in a manner most often experienced in “normal ” circumstances. Sound pressure may vary
depending upon the condition of the concrete. Hearing protection is always recommended.
Vibration Level Information:
The vibration level indicated is the maximum RMS (Root Mean Square) velocity value obtained at the handle grip while
operating the ride-on trowel on curing concrete in a manner most often experienced in “normal ” circumstances.
Values were obtained from all three axes of motion. The values shown represent the maximum RMS value from these
measurements.

Transportation Safety
• Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer
“gross vehicle weight rating.”
• ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. Never tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings,
chains, etc.
• Check the tire air pressure on both towing vehicle and trailer. Trailer tires should be inated to 50 psi cold.
Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.
• ALWAYS make sure the trailer is equipped with a safety chain.
• ALWAYS properly attach trailer’s safety chains to towing vehicle.
• ALWAYS make sure the vehicle and trailer directional, backup, brake and trailer lights are connected and
working properly.
• DOT Requirements include the following:
- Connect and test electric brake operation.
- Secure portable power cables in cable tray with tie wraps.
• The maximum speed for highway towing is 55 MPH unless posted otherwise. Recommended off-road
towing is not to exceed 15 MPH or less depending on type of terrain.
• Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause skidding, or jack-kning. Smooth, gradual starts and stops
will improve towing.
• Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.
• Trailer should be adjusted to a level position at all times when towing.
• Raise and lock trailer wheel stand in up position when towing.
• Place chock blocks underneath wheel to prevent rolling while parked.
• Place support blocks underneath the trailer’s bumper to prevent tipping while parked.
• Use the trailer’s swivel jack to adjust the trailer height to a level position while parked.
• Use tie downs to ensure machine does not move during transportation.
