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/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.
WARNING
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.

STX-SERIES — SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT 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 Whiteman
Series STX 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.
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.
HAZARD SYMBOLS
Lethal Exhaust Gases
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless and
odorless, and can cause death if inhaled.
NEVER operate this equipment in a confined
area or enclosed structure that does not
provide ample free flow air.
Explosive Fuel
Diesel 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.

Lifting the Ride-On Trowel
The STX-SERIES 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.
