Eleven technicians from several concrete contractors in the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware attended the training seminar.

King of Prussia Equipment Corp. and MQ-Whiteman held a one-day service seminar Nov. 4 for the Whiteman hydrostatic ride-on trowels.

The service school started at 8 a.m. at King of Prussia Equipment's facility in King of Prussia, Pa., with coffee and donuts.

Eleven technicians from several concrete contractors in the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware attended the training seminar.

Companies represented at the seminar included:

• GMAC Construction, Franklinville, N.J.;

• Tri-State Construction, Millville, N.J.;

• VG Concrete, Woolwich Township, N.J.;

• E & G Concrete, Phoenixville, Pa.;

Dan Sullivan, field service manager from Chicago, Ill., conducted the class and discussed in-depth handouts containing information on the new hydrostatic models STX6H and HTX6H, which meet U.S. EPA Tier IV emissions requirements. Topics Sullivan covered included maintenance service schedule, selecting the correct hydraulic filters, cold start operations, machine setup and calibration, and downloading the Whiteman Service Tool to the attendees' laptops.

After lunch was provided by King of Prussia Equipment to attendees, Sullivan provided a hands-on demonstration of the new STX6H and each technician had to calibrate the rider.

The class ended around 2 p.m. with question-and-answer session. MQ-Whiteman provided each attendee with a flash drive containing all the necessary handouts for servicing and diagnosing hydrostatic ride-on trowels. MQ-Whiteman also awarded door prizes (four, $25 Starbucks gift cards) and King of Prussia Equipment provided folding binders and a shirt for each technician.
