1.10 New Machine Set-up

Trowels are shipped from the factory with the handles and blades removed. Follow Sections 1.11 Installing Blades and

1.12 Installing and Adjusting Handles when setting up new machines or when installing new handles and blades.

Note: Steering handles come in two styles: a bicycle style grip or a wing grip. Assembly procedures are identical for

both styles.

1013SD51

1013SD52

1.11 Installing Blades

There are four types of blades available for the trowels.

Float pans are large "pizza pan" style blades, which hook

on over finish or combination blades and are available for

the 30" and 36" machines only. Float blades are avail-

able for all machines and clip on over finish or combina-

tion blades. Both are used in the earliest stages of work,

and are not pitched.

Finish blades, which are supplied with the machine, are

used in the final stages of working, and are progressively

pitched to burnish the concrete.

Combination blades can be used throughout the con-

crete working process. They are used in place of float

blades or pans and finish blades.

Note: Trowel blades must NOT be interchanged, i.e., do

NOT put larger diameter blades on a smaller diameter

trowel.

1. New machines are supplied with finish blades as

standard equipment. Finish blades are flat on both

edges and can be installed in either direction.

When installing combination blades, orient blades as

shown (r). This positions the raised edges of the blade

correctly for the clockwise rotation of the machine.

2. Secure blades to trowel arms with 1-1/2" screws (s).

Dip threads of screws in grease prior to installation.

This will prevent concrete from cementing the screws

in place and make removal of the blades easier later

on.

3. Plug the remaining threaded holes in the blade brace

with plastic plugs (t) to prevent them from filling with

concrete.

WARNING

Do not lift the trowel overhead with a float pan

attached, as the pan could fall off and strike person-

nel working in the vicinity.

Pipe Handle:

On new machines the pipe handle comes assembled

with the pitch control

(p) and stop switch (q). To install

pipe handle assembly:

1. Pull pitch control cable from bottom end of tube and

remove nuts from cable (a).

2. Thread cable through handle base

(b) and over pulley

3. Attach pipe handle to handle base with two M8x16

screws

(d). Secure screws using Loctite 243 or an

equivalent medium-strength threadlocking compound.

Torque screws to 16 ft.lbs. (22 Nm).

4. Turn the twist pitch control handle counterclockwise

as far as possible. Connect cable to fork (h) as shown

and adjust cable nuts (i) so cable is snug and trowel

blades lay flat (0° pitch).

Steering Handle:

1. Install steering handle (j) to machine as shown. Se-

cure shoulder bolt (k) using Loctite 243, or equivalent.

2. Position throttle lever (l) on handle and fasten in place.

3. Position handle by loosening knob (m) and adjusting

handle up or down to suit operator. Tighten knob to

secure handle in position.

1.13 Application

This trowel is a modern, high production machine in-

tended for floating and finishing freshly poured concrete

slabs. The machine's good balance, adjustable handle,

and easily reached controls add to operator comfort and

productivity. An automatic Run/Stop Switch, or a combi-

nation of an automatic Run/Stop Switch and an Operator

Present Lever, provide added operator safety. Finishing

rates will depend on operator skill and job conditions.

DO NOT use this machine for any application other than

troweling concrete.

1.16 Before Starting

Before starting trowel, check the following:

- oil level in engine

- oil level in gearbox

- fuel level

- condition of fuel lines

- condition of air filter

- condition of trowel arms and blades

- pages 6 and 7 of manual for label descriptions

1.17 Run/Stop Switch

The Run/Stop Switch (b) is located on the pipe handle.

When the switch is placed in the “I” (run) position (b

), the

engine may be started and the trowel operated. When the

switch is placed in the “O” (stop) position (b

), the engine

will not run and the trowel stops.

To prevent uncontrolled spinning of the trowel, the Run/

Stop Switch is also designed to automatically close under

certain conditions and shut off the engine. For example,

if the operator loses his/her grip on the trowel, the

centrifugal force created by the spinning machine will pull

the switch to the “O” position, stopping the trowel.

1.14 Recommended Fuel

The engine requires regular unleaded gasoline. Use only

fresh, clean fuel. Fuel containing water or dirt will

damage fuel system. Consult engine owner’s manual for

complete fuel specifications.

1.15 Controls

a - Throttle Lever

b - Run/Stop Switch

c - Pitch Control

d - Handle Adjustment

start. Replenish oil supply before attempting to start

engine.

5. After engine starts, leave throttle in slow position (a

)

and allow engine to warm up.

6. Open choke when engine is warm (e

CAUTION: Do not operate engine with choke lever

in partial “CHOKE” position. Excessive speeds may

occur.

7. Open throttle (a

1-14

1 OPERATION CT36BDT

1013SD58

1.20 Operation

Choose correct blade type and attach blades to trowel

arms. Do not mix float or finish blades with combination

blades.

Note: When operating on soft concrete, do not let trowel

stand in one spot too long. Always lift trowel from slab

when operation is complete.

Note: “Left” and “Right” references are made from the

operator's position.

1. Adjust handle height to suit operator. See Section

1.12 Installing and Adjusting Handles.

2. Start engine and engage blades by increasing engine

speed. Set speed with throttle control on handle bar to

appropriate speed for job conditions.

3. To move trowel forward twist handle clockwise (a).

4. To move backward twist handle counterclock-

wise (b).

5. To move to the left lift up slightly on the handle (c).

6. To move to the right press down slightly on the

handle (d).

7. Clean trowel after each use to remove concrete

splatter.

It is recommended that each set of work passes be at 90°

to the previous set of work passes. This will help prevent

the creation of valleys in the slab surface.

For example, in the illustration opposite, the second set

of work passes (2) is 90° to the first set of work passes

(1).

1013SD59

WARNING
