1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use

This machine is a walk-behind concrete finishing trowel. The Wacker

Neuson Walk-Behind Trowel consists of a frame onto which are

mounted a gasoline engine, a fuel tank, a gearbox, and a control

handle. A set of four metal blades is connected to the gearbox and is

surrounded by a ring guard. The engine rotates the blades through

the gearbox and clutch mechanism. The rotating blades ride on the

surface of curing concrete, creating a smooth finish. The operator

walks behind the machine and uses the handle to control speed and

direction of the machine.

This machine is intended to be used for floating and burnishing curing

concrete.

This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use

described above. Using the machine for any other purpose could

permanently damage the machine or seriously injure the operator or

other persons in the area. Machine damage caused by misuse is not

covered under warranty.

The following are some examples of misuse:

• Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface

• Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment

• Using the machine to finish inappropriate materials such as

slurries, sealers, or epoxy finishes

• Operating the machine outside of factory specifications

• Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings

found on the machine and in the Operator’s Manual

This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the

latest global safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to

eliminate hazards as far as practicable and to increase operator

safety through protective guards and labeling. However, some risks

may remain even after protective measures have been taken. They

are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure

to:

• Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine

• Chemical burns from curing concrete

• Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques

• Fuel and its fumes, fuel spillage from improper lifting technique

• Personal injury from improper lifting techniques or operating

techniques

• Cutting hazards from sharp or worn blades

wc_si000498gb.fm 11

To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and

understand the safety information presented in this manual before

operating the machine.

1.3 Operating Safety

Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of the

machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel can be

hazardous. Read the operating instructions contained in this manual and the

engine manual, and familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all

controls. Inexperienced operators should receive instruction from someone

familiar with the machine before being allowed to operate it.

Operator qualifications

Only trained personnel are permitted to start, operate, and shut down the

machine. They also must meet the following qualifications:

1.4 Operator Safety while using Internal Combustion Engines

Operating safety

When running the engine:

• Keep the area around exhaust pipe free of flammable materials.

• Check the fuel lines and the fuel tank for leaks and cracks before

starting the engine. Do not run the machine if fuel leaks are present

or the fuel lines are loose.

When running the engine:

• Do not smoke while operating the machine.

• Do not run the engine near sparks or open flames.

• Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is running or

immediately after it has been turned off.

• Do not operate a machine when its fuel cap is loose or missing.

• Do not start the engine if fuel has spilled or a fuel odor is present.

Move the machine away from the spill and wipe the machine dry

before starting.

Refueling safety

When refueling the engine:

• Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.

• Refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.

• Replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.

• Do not smoke.

• Do not refuel a hot or running engine.

• Do not refuel the engine near sparks or open flames.

• Do not refuel if the machine is positioned in a truck fitted with a

plastic bed liner. Static electricity can ignite the fuel or fuel vapors.

WARNING

Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling. Failure to

follow the warnings and safety standards could result in severe injury or death.

f Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine owner’s manual and the

safety guidelines below.

DANGER

Exhaust gas from the engine contains carbon monoxide, a deadly poison. Expo-

sure to carbon monoxide can kill you in minutes.

f NEVER operate the machine inside an enclosed area, such as a tunnel, unless

adequate ventilation is provided through such items as exhaust fans or hoses.

b. Insert a 2x4 or other suitable lumber into the bracket. The lumber

must be long enough to extend past the ring guard.

c. Balance the weight between the partners and lift the machine by the

handle and the lumber.

To reduce risk of back injury while lifting, keep your feet flat on ground

and shoulder width apart. Keep your head up and back straight.

To lift the machine mechanically:

3.1.4 Stop engine.

3.1.5 See Dimensions and Weight for weight of machine and be sure that

lifting device(s) can safely lift the weight.
