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

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.

1-11

CT48BDT OPERATION 1

1013SD55

1013SD53

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

1022SD37

1.13 Application

This trowel is a modern, high production machine in-

tended for floating and finishing freshly poured concrete

slabs. Do not use this machine for any other purpose.

The machine's good balance, adjustable handle, and

easily reached controls add to operator comfort and

productivity. An automatic stop switch provides added

operator safety. Finishing rates will depend on operator

skill and job conditions.

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 “RUN” position (b

), the

engine may be started and the trowel operated. When the

switch is placed in the “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 centrifu-

gal force created by the spinning machine will pull the

switch to the “STOP” 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

1.20 Operation

Choose desired blade type and attach blades to trowel

arms. See Section 1.11 Installing Blades.

Do not mix float or finish blades with combination blades.

Each blade type has a different width and if used in

combination will cause erratic machine performance.

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. See Section 1.35 Lifting.

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

operator's position.

1. Adjust the handle height to suit the operator. See

Section 1.12 Installing and Adjusting Handles. Always

keep both hands on the steering handle

when operating the trowel.

2. Start engine and engage blades by increasing engine

speed. Set speed with throttle control on steering

handle to appropriate speed for job conditions. Use

slower speed for initial work (floating) and higher

speed for finishing (burnishing).

3. To move the trowel forward, twist the handle clock-

wise (a).

4. To move backward, twist the handle counter-

clockwise (b).

5. To move the trowel 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).
