To install the floating disc
1. Put the floating disc on a hard flat surface.
2. Put the product on top of the floating disc.
3. Align the center of the blade assembly with the
center of the floating disc.
4. Turn the floating disc until the blades engage in the
brackets on the floating disc.
CAUTION:
floating disc is correctly installed before
you operate the product. An incorrectly
installed floating disc does not give a
smooth result.
To start the product
1. Open the fuel valve. (Fig. 37)
2. Set the throttle control to idle speed. (Fig. 31)
3. Set the choke control in the correct position. (Fig. 38)
a) If the engine is cold, close the choke.
b) If the engine is warm or the ambient temperature
is high, open the choke.
4. Set the engine ON/OFF switch to ON. (Fig. 39)
5. Hold the product handle with one hand and pull the
starter rope handle slowly until you feel resistance.
(Fig. 40)
6. Release the starter rope handle to let the starter
rope go back.
7. Pull the starter rope handle until the engine starts.
8. Open the choke control gradually until it is fully open.
(Fig. 41)
9. Let the engine operate at idle speed for 2–3 minutes.
10. Hold the product tightly at the handle with two hands.
Move the throttle control to increase the engine
speed, but do not release the handle. (Fig. 42)
To adjust the blade pitch
The blade pitch is adjusted gradually.
•
For products with a blade pitch knob (A), do this
procedure: (Fig. 43)
a) To increase the blade pitch, turn the blade pitch
knob clockwise.
b) To decrease the blade pitch, turn the blade pitch
knob counterclockwise.
•
For products with a Pro-Shift
procedure: (Fig. 44)
a) To increase the blade pitch, pull the Pro-Shift
lever up in the direction of the handle.
b) To decrease the blade pitch, push the Pro-Shift
lever down.

Working techniques
The floating operation removes dents on the concrete
surface. The concrete surface must be sufficiently hard
before the floating operation. The concrete surface is
sufficiently hard when a shoe gives not more than 3 mm/
0.12 in. deep recess on the concrete surface.
When the floating operation is completed, the concrete
surface is prepared for the troweling operation. The
troweling operation increases the density of the concrete
surface and makes it smooth and hard.
CAUTION:
concrete surface during operation. Loose
stones can make marks that are not easy
to remove from the concrete surface.
To do the floating operation
1. Set the throttle control to an applicable speed.
CAUTION:
high. Too high speed on wet concrete
can cause damage to the surface. Adjust
the speed during the operation as the
concrete becomes harder.
2. Adjust the blade pitch until there is tension in the
blade pitch cable. Refer to
on page 36 .
3. Move the product across the concrete surface. (Fig.
45)
a) Move from one side to the opposite side across
all of the concrete surface (A). When you turn to
go in the opposite direction, do an overlap of ½
the diameter of the blade assembly.
b) Move from one side to the opposite side across
all of the concrete surface in a perpendicular
pattern (B). When you turn to go in the opposite
direction, do an overlap of ½ the diameter of the
blade assembly.
4. Stop the product and remove it from the concrete
surface.
CAUTION:
stay stationary on the concrete surface.
This can cause marks and damages to
the concrete surface. When the product
stops, immediately lift the product from
the concrete surface.
