WARNING

SILICOSIS WARNING RESPIRATORY HAZARDS

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.

STR46SP — GENERAL INFORMATION

STR46 SERIES Ride-On Power Trowel Familiarization

The STR46 SERIES Ride-On Power Trowel is designed for the
floating and finishing of concrete slabs.

Take a walk around your trowel. Take notice of all the major
components (see Figures 2 and 3, pages 20 and 21) like the
engine, blades, air cleaner, fuel system, fuel shut-off valve,
ignition switch etc. Ensure engine and gearbox oil levels are
within proper operating range.

Read all the safety instructions carefully. Safety instructions will
be found throughout this manual and on the machine. Keep all
safety information in good, readable condition. Operators should
be well trained on the operation and maintenance of the trowel.

Look at the operator control levers. Grasp the control levers and
move them around a bit. Observe how moving the control levers
cause the gearboxes and frame to move.

Notice the foot pedal which controls the engine and blade speed.
Also take a look at the main driveline of the trowel. Take note
and reference how the belts look, this is the way the belts should
look when adjusted properly.

Before using your trowel, test it on a flat watered down section of
finished concrete. This trial test run will increase your confidence
in using the trowel and at the same time it will familiarize you
with the trowel’s controls and indicators. In addition you will
understand how the trowel will handle under actual conditions.

Engine

This trowel is equipped with an air cooled 27 HP Kohler gasoline
engine. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for specific
instructions regarding engine operation. This manual is included
with the trowel at the time of shipping. Please contact the STOW
parts department if a replacement manual is required.

Gearboxes

The STR46 Series Ride-On Power Trowel uses two separate
gearbox assemblies that are enclosed in rugged cast aluminum
gear cases.

The gearbox casing has a large oil capacity allowing optimum
lubrication to critical points.

Steering Assist

Dual control levers located in front of the operator's seat are
provided for steering the trowel. The control levers are linked to
two spring loaded cylinders.

Push the left control lever forward and pull the right control lever
backward and the trowel will rotate clockwise on approximately
a center axis. Pull the left control lever backward and push the
right control lever forward and the trowel will rotate
counterclockwise. See Table 4 on page 26 for a complete
description on the control levers directional positioning.

Constant Velocity Joints (CV-Joints)

Constant velocity joints insure the efficient transfer of power to
the drive shaft and maintain the timing of the gearboxes without
any chance of slippage.

Training

For training, please use the “TRAINING CHECKLIST” located
in the front of this manual (Page 8). This checklist is not intended
to be a substitute for proper training but will provide an outline
for an experienced operator to provide training to a new operator.

Blades

The blades of the trowel finish the concrete as they are swirled
around the surface. Blades are classified as combination (10 or
8 inches wide) and finish (6 inches wide). This trowel is equipped
with four blades per rotor equally spaced in a radial pattern and
attached to a vertical rotating shaft by means of a

spider

assembly.

Figures 2 and 3 show the location of the controls, indicators and
general maintenance parts. Each control may perform more than
one function. The functions of the controls or indicators are on
pages 20 and 21.

Checking The Drive Belt

The drive belt needs to be replaced as soon as it starts to show
signs of wear. Indications of excessive belt wear are fraying,
squealing when in use, belts that emit smoke or a burning rubber
smell when in use.

STR46SP — MAINTENANCE

Under normal operating conditions, a drive belt may last
approximately 150 hours. If your trowel is not reaching this kind
of life span for drive belt wear, check the drive belt for proper
pulley alignment and spacing.

To gain access to the drive belt, remove the drive belt guard
cover (Item 1, Figure 17), then visually inspect the drive belt for
signs of damage or excessive wear. If the drive belt is worn or
damaged, replace the drive belt.

WARNINGWARNING

noticeable difference in finish quality between the two sets of
blades. Or, the difference in blade pitch could make the machine
difficult to control. This is due to the surface area in contact with
the concrete (the blade set with the greater contact area tends to
stick to the concrete more).

Matching Blade Pitch for Both Sets of Blades

Trowels equipped with optional Twin PitchTM Controls may need
to have blade pitch between the two sets of blades "syncronized".
If the blades need to be syncronized this is easily accomplished
by performing the following. Refer to Figure 28.

Checking Trowel Arm Straightness

Trowel arms can be damaged by rough handling, (such as dropping
the trowel on the pad), or by striking exposed plumbing, forms, or
rebar while in operation. A bent trowel arm will not allow the trowel
to operate in a smooth fluid rotation. If bent trowel arms are suspect,
check for flatness as follows, refer to Figures 35 and 36:

1 Trowel Arm Round Shaft Section
2 Trowel Arm Hexagonal (Hex) Shaft Section
3 Lever Mounting Slot (Left Arm Shown)
4 Roll Pin Hole
5 Blade Attachment Bolt Hole (One of Three)
6 Flat of Hexagonal Shaft (Top of Arm)

3. Next, check the clearance between the round shaft and the
test surface as one of the flat hex sections of the arm rests on
the test surface. Rotate the arm to each of the flat hex sections
and check the clearance of the round shaft. Use a feeler
gauge of .005" (0.127 mm). Each section should have the

same clearance
