MINI-TROWEL / EDGER : MODEL B424

INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND PARTS LIST

FOREWORD

The Terex Bartell Ltd.B424 Mini-trowel / Edger has been developed to float and finish the

edges of concrete floors, up to perimeter walls, around columns and small areas, eliminating

tiring hand troweling and increasing overall productivity and quality.

It is important that the following information be read carefully in order that the operational

performance of your Bartell trowel be fully understood. Proper maintenance will ensure long

life and top performance.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Failure To Follow Safety Instructions May Lead To Injury

Always keep unauthorized, inexperienced untrained people away from this machine. Never

leave machine unattended while engine is running.

Rotating and moving parts will cause injury if contacted. Make sure that all guards are in

place. Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

Fuel the machine only when the engine is stopped using all necessary safety precautions. Be

careful not to come in contact with the muffler when the engine is hot to avoid burns.

Be sure that the safety switch is working correctly. Ignition supply must be cut instantly

when the handle is released. Never attempt to bypass the function of the safety/stop switch.

To avoid slipping and loss of control when starting the trowel, the operator should maintain

good footing. It is recommended that the operator wear safety shoes for added protection.

Be careful when working around pipes or ducts protruding from the floor or slab edges. If

the trowel blades hit such obstacles, damage to the machine or possible operator injury may

result.

When starting the machine, do not exceed 1/3 throttle position. A higher setting may cause

the centrifugal clutch to engage and the handle to rotate.

Always be sure to maintain a firm grip on the machine with both hands to ensure proper

control. While using the machine the operator must always secure the safety/stop switch

with the left hand for correct function of the safety/ stop switch.

Exhaust fumes are lethal. Always operate the machine in well ventilated areas.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Your new mini-trowel comes to you fully assembled. All you have to do, is unfold the

handle and fasten the knob. Remove any shipping or packing materials. Be sure to remove

and discard the band securing the safety/stop switch to the left handle. This serves only to

facilitate shipping and is not intended to be a permanent feature. When removing the

machine from the carton be careful to use the handles to lift the unit from the carton.

NEVER LIFT THE MACHINE BY THE RING OR THE DISC.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING PROCEDURES

Prior to staring the trowel, check the engine and gearbox oil levels. “WARRANTY IS VOID

IF RUN WITHOUT OIL.” Fill the gas tank with clean gasoline as specified in the engine

manual.

Insure that the safety/stop switch is in “ON” position, set the choke and set throttle lever at

1/3 position.

Hold the trowel firmly with the left hand and start the engine. After the engine starts, move

choke to fully open position and let the engine warm up before operating.

Allow longer warm up in colder weather.

STOPPING PROCEDURES

Throttle engine down to minimum setting.

Put safety/stop switch in “OFF” position.

Never use the choke to stop the engine. If the machine has been run on full speed, allow the

engine to run at idle speed for 2-3 minutes to cool.

USING THE TROWEL

Guiding the trowel on the slab is simple. Get into the operator’s position behind the center

of the handle with good footing and apply the throttle slowly until desired speed is obtained.

Push handle down and machine moves to the right.

Lift handle up and the machine moves to the right.

Slightly twist to the right and the machine will move forward.

Slightly twist to the left and the machine will move to backward.

Holding the handle in the neutral position, the machine will remain stationary.

PREPARATION OF CONCRETE SURFACE

Use of a mechanical or vibrating screed to “strike” the concrete surface to level will

provide good compaction to the slab and produce an ideal surface for finishing. It should

be remembered that floating/finishing machines cannot repair or correct a poorly

screeded slab.

FLOATING OPERATION

Before attaching the floating disc, be sure that the blades are free of any cement. The

trowel blades must be in the flat position. When the slab has set sufficiently firm that the

operator’s footprint leaves a very slight impression, it is ready for the finishing step.

A standard trowel should be used to float the surface up to the walls or as close to any

obstacles as permitted and then be followed by the mini-trowel for the balance.

When the surface has set properly continue on to the next phase.

FINISHING OPERATION

After the floating operation, remove the floating disc from the finishing blades and clean

the blades, spider plate and rotating ring of cement / concrete paste collected during the

floating operation. Set the pitch to approximately 1/4 “ for the first pass and then continue

to increase the pitch on the following passes, continuing your passes until the desired

floor finish is obtained.

MAINTENANCE

PITCH ADJUSTMENT

The pitch knob is in easy reach of the operator permitting unlimited pitch variation at all

times. When finishing, the setting up/ hardening of the floor may vary from area to area

across the floor, so the pitch may be changed as required, while the machine is in

operation. When transporting the trowel, always keep the blades flat on the floating disc.

CAUTION

: NEVER LIFT THE MACHINE BY THE ROTATING RING. AVOID LEAVING

THE MACHINE RUNNING IN ONE SPOT ON THE CONCRETE TO MAINTAIN SURFACE

TOLERANCES.

CAUTION

: BE CAREFUL WHEN RUNNING THE TROWEL IN AREAS WHERE

STANDING WATER IS EVIDENT AS THE TROWEL WILL TEND TO SKATE AWAY. BE

SURE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AT ALL TIMES.

LUBRICATION

ENGINE

For full lubricating instructions refer to engine manufacturer’s manual.

GEARBOX

In operation the gear box lubricant is in a fluid state. When the machine is stopped the

lubricant returns to its normal gel state. It will only be necessary to inspect the sealed

components if the outside of the gear box gets too oily or otherwise shows evidence of a

leak. If this happens, clean the machine thoroughly and look for leaks. Effect necessary

repairs immediately. Use SHELL TIVELA COMPOUNDS A (400 gr.) gear oil or

equivalent to top up the gear box after any maintenance to the internal components.

SPIDER PLATE

By experience we know that the major problem with power trowels results from lack of

lubrication. The trowel arm on the spider plate does not require lubrication. If a trowel

arm becomes jammed, this is probably due to an arm being bent which will require

replacement.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Engine life will be extended by maintaining a clean engine. Keep air filter clean at all

times. Wash the element in non-oil based solvent. Let the filter dry before re-installing it

in the air cleaner.

SPARK PLUG

Check and clean the spark plug regularly. A fouled, dirty or carboned spark plug causes

hard starting and poor engine performance. Set spark plug according to the recommended

clearance.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Clean the machine after each use to prevent hardening of sludge. Hard concrete is

difficult to remove, greatly increases the weight and reduces efficient operation of the

machine. Avoid spilling solvents used in cleaning, on any of the machine’s rubber parts

such as “V” belts, seals, bearings etc.

DAILY

Check engine oil

Check air filter

Check blade pitch adjustment for proper operation.

Check blade bolts for tightness.

WEEKLY

Check belt for wear. Replace if worn.

Check blades for wear. replace as required.

Change engine oil as required.

Check for loose nuts and bolts. Tighten as required.

CHANGING BLADES

Be sure spark plug is disconnected before changing the blades.

Make certain that the machine is on a flat surface and the blades are flat.

Remove bolts and lock washers on each trowel arm and remove the used blades.

Before installing the new blades, clean all concrete / cement form the bottom and sides of

the trowel.

Install new blades, securing all bolts and lock washers.

TROWEL ARM ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

1. Mount trowel arm assemblies onto

attaching blade disc item #6. refer to

drawing.

2. Set pitch so that blades, item #1 are

sitting flat.

3. Loosen off jam nut item #3.

4. Adjust carriage bolt item #4 so that it

is touching the bottom of the plate.

5. Tighten jam nut against the carriage

bolt. NOTE: It is vitally important

that once the carriage bolt is

adjusted to the proper height, it

does not move before or during the

tightening of the jam nut.

6. Repeat the procedure for remaining

blades. Ensure that all connections

are secure before replacing the

floating disc and beginning any

further work with the machine.

CAUTION:

DUE TO THE WEAR PATTERN OF THE BLADES THEY TEND TO BE

EXTREMELY SHARP. WEAR HEAVY DUTY GLOVES DURING THE CHANGE

OPERATION TO AVOID CUTS.

LIABILITY

Terex Bartell Ltd. denies any liability for possible damages to persons and / or things

resulting from improper or wrong use of the machine or non-observance of the instructions

contained in this manual.
