P/N 22315
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and
other materials with silica in their composition may give
off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a
basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and
numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or
substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can
cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including
silicosis. In addition, California and some other
authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a
substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such
materials, always follow the respiratory precautions
mentioned above.
WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and
other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes
containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal
injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are
unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular
process and/or material being cut or the composition of
the tool being used, review the material safety data
sheet and/or consult your employer, the material
manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as
OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other authorities, for
instance, have published lists of substances known to
cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful
effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where
possible. In this regard use good work practices and
follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or
suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade
associations. Water should be used for dust
suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the
hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot
be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should
always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for
the materials being used.

STR46SPV GH — SAFETY MESSAGE ALER T SYMBOLS
FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS!
Safety precautions should be followed at all times when
operating this equipment. Failure to read, understand and
comply with the Safety Messages and Operating Instructions
could result in injury to yourself and others.
This Operation Manual has been
developed to provide instructions for the
safe and efficient operation of the STR 46SPVGH Ride-On Trowel. For engine
maintenance information, please refer to the
engine manufacturer's instructions for data
relative to its safe operation.
Before using this Ride-On Trowel, ensure that the operating
individual has read, understands, and complies with all
instructions in this manual.
HAZARD SYMBOLS
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.
Lethal Exhaust Gases
Engine exhaust gases contain harmful toxins
and will displace oxygen when running in an
enclosed or confined space. NEVER operate
this equipment in a confined area or enclosed
structure that does not provide ample free
flow air.
Explosive Fuel
Engine fuel is flammable, and its 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.

The STR46SPVGH Ride-On Power Trowel is designed to be
moved and handled several ways.
The easiest way to lift the trowel is to utilize the lift loops that are
welded to the frame. These lift loops are located to the left and
right sides of the operator’s seat.
A strap or chain can be attached to these lift loops, allowing a
forklift or crane to lift the trowel up onto and off of a slab of concrete.
The strap or chain should have a minimum 2,000 pounds (1000kg) lifting capacity and the lifting gear must be capable of lifting
at least this amount.
NEVER stand under or allow anyone
else to stand under the trowel while it
is being lifted.

ALWAYS shutdown engine before transporting.
■
Tighten fuel tank cap securely and close fuel cock to prevent
fuel from spilling.
■
Drain fuel when transporting trowel for long distances or over
bad roads.
■
When placing the trowel on a truck-bed for transport,
tie-down the trowel.

If the trowel is being transported via a trailer, make sure the
trailer complies with all local and state safety transportation
laws. Refer to the following "
for basic towing techniques.

roads.
To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting the
trowel on public roads, always make sure the trailer that supports
the trowel and the towing vehicle are in good operating condition
and both units are mechanically sound.
The following list of suggestions should be used when towing
your trowel:
■
Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are
rated equal to, or greater than the trailer "gross vehicle weight
rating" (GVWR) of 6,000 lbs.
■
ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER
tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains, etc.

Use chock-blocks underneath each wheel when parked to
prevent trailer from rolling.
■
Use the trailer's swivel jack to adjust the trailer height to a
level position while parked.
■
Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause the trailer to
skid or jack-knife. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will
improve towing.
■
Avoid sharp turns.
■
Trailer should be adjusted to a level position at all times
when towing.
■
Raise and lock trailer wheel stand in the "UP" position when
transporting.
■
DOT requirements include the following:
Connect and test electric brake operation.
Secure portable power cables in cable tray with tie wraps.
Battery
The battery contains acid that can cause injury to the eyes and
skin. To avoid eye irritation,
shielding. Use well insulated gloves when handling the battery.
Use the following guidelines when handling the battery.
■
DO NOT drop the battery. Any impact to
the battery may cause it to explode.
■
DO NOT expose the battery to open flames,
sparks, lit cigarettes etc. The battery
contains combustible gases and liquids. If
these gases and liquids come in contact
with a flame or spark an explosion can occur.
■
ALWAYS keep the battery charged. If the
battery is not charged a buildup of combustible gas will occur.
■
ALWAYS keep battery cables in good working condition.
Repair or replace all worn cables.
■
ALWAYS disconnect the
performing service on the trowel.
