1.9 Description

The Riding Trowel is a modern, high production machine. Finishing rate will vary

depending on operator skill and job

conditions. The heavy-duty gearboxes are designed to provide exceptional performance, low maintenance, and

trouble-free use in most conditions. The low speed unit is designed to provide higher torque, to optimize performance

with the use of pans. However, either machine can be configured to be non-overlapping or overlapping, and can

therefore use either two pans or eight finishing blades.

All WACKER Riding Trowels are equipped with a fail-safe kill circuit and a low oil shutdown for added job safety and

engine protection. Operating time between fuel refills is approximately 4–4½ hours with rotor speeds between 80 and

120 rpm.

WACKER Riding Trowels are the most technically advanced trowels on the market today. With proper maintenance

and use, your Riding Trowel will provide you with exceptional service.

Sound and Vibration Specifications

The required sound specifications, per Appendix 1, Paragraph 1.7.4.f of the EC-Machine Regulations, are:

CRT36 CRT48

- the sound pressure level at operator’s location (L

) = 84 dB(A) 91 dB(A)

- the sound power level (L

) = 102 dB(A) 109 dB(A)

These sound values were determined according to ISO 3744 for the sound power level (L

) and ISO 11204

for the sound pressure level (L

) at the operator’s location.

The weighted effective acceleration value, determined according to ISO 2361-1 and ISO 5349, is:

for whole body: 0.05 m/s

1.29 m/s

for hand/arm: 3.15 m/s

2.85 m/s

The sound and vibration specifications were obtained with the unit operating on fully cured, water wetted

concrete at nominal engine speed.

1.10 Features and Controls

Control locations and functions:

a - right pitch control

b - water tank

c - control arm

d - flip-up arm rest

e - operator’s seat with “operator presence” switch

f - left pitch control

g - rear work light (one each side)

h - control panel (one each side)

j - fuel tank

m - work light (one each side)

n - foot pedal (throttle control)

o - engine choke control

q - work light switch

r - DC accessory outlet

s - engine keyswitch

t - hour meter

u - water spray control

The Riding Trowel features a seat with an integrated

“operator presence” system, which works in conjunction

with a throttle mounted switch. This system allows the

engine to remain running (idling) with no operator seated

in the seat, as long as the throttle is not depressed. This

system meets all safety requirements and eliminates the

need for a foot-operated “kill switch”.

To familiarize a new operator with the Riding Trowel the

following steps should be taken:

1. With the operator in the seat, show him or her the

functions of the control arms (c) and how to start the

machine.

2. Have the operator practice steering the trowel. A hard

concrete slab slightly wetted with water is an ideal

place for an operator to practice with the machine. For

this practice, pitch the blades up approximately ¼" on

the leading edge. Start by making the machine hover

in one spot, and then practice driving the machine in

a straight line and making 180° turns. The best

control is achieved at full rpm.

1.14 Stopping

To stop trowel movement, return joystick(s) or control

levers to their neutral position and release pressure on

the throttle foot pedal.

To stop the engine, turn the keyswitch to “O” (off).

1.13 Starting

Before starting the operator must know the location and

function of all controls.

1. Push down on the throttle foot pedal, turn the engine

keyswitch

(s), and hold it until the engine starts.

Note: If the engine is cold, pull out the choke control

knob fully.

CAUTION: Cranking the engine for more than 5

seconds can cause starter damage. If the engine fails

to start, release the keyswitch and wait 10 seconds

before operating the starter again.

Note: The engine has an oil alert switch designed to

stop the engine automatically if the oil level gets too

low. If engine will not start, or stops during operation,

check engine oil level.

2. Allow the engine to warm up before operating the

trowel.

1.12 Before Starting

Before starting the trowel, check the following:

• fuel level

• oil level in the engine

• condition of the air filter

• condition of trowel arms and blades

Grease the trowel arms daily.

1.11 New Machines

To break in the gearboxes, run the engine at 50% of full

throttle for the first 2–4 hours. This will prevent premature

wear and extend gear life.

CAUTION: Running the engine at full throttle during the

break-in period could result in premature gear failure.

1.15 Operation

To utilize your WACKER Riding Trowel to its fullest capacity, the machine should be driven in the direction that the

operator is facing. This will finish the widest possible area, while giving the operator an excellent view of the slab surface

about to be troweled. When the machine reaches the end of the slab, make a 180° U-turn, and repeat the straight line

of direction to the other end of the slab.

Note: During the break-in period, run the engine at 50% of full throttle. Refer to Section 1.11 New Machines.

CAUTION: DO NOT use excessive pressure on the control levers. Excessive pressure does not increase the reaction

time of the machine and can damage the steering controls.

CAUTION: Attempting to use the trowel too early in the curing stage of the concrete may result in an undesirable finish.

Only experienced concrete finishers should operate the trowel.
