WALK-BEHIND TROWEL INSTRUCTION MANUAL

QUALITY ASSURANCE / MACHINE BREAK IN

The Terex Bartell Walk-Behind Power Trowel is the product of extensive engineering
development designed to give long life and unmatched performance. The Walk-Behind
Power Trowels are shipped partially assemble, and only require filling with fuel and a brief
check of lubricant levels in preparation for operation.

You can help ensure that your Power Trowel will perform at top levels by observing a
simple routing on first use. Consider that your new Power Trowel is like a new car. Just
as you would break in a new car to the road or any new machine to the job, you should
start gradually and build up to full use. Learn what your machine can do and how it will
respond. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for run-in times. Full throttle and
control may be used after this time period, as allowed by material. This will serve to
further break in the machine on your specific application, as well as provide you with
additional practice using the machine.

We thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing a Terex Bartell
Walk-Behind Power Trowel and wish you many years of satisfied use.

WALK-BEHIND TROWEL INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Routine Service Intervals

Due to the nature and environment of use, Walk-Behind Power Trowels could be exposed to severe
operating conditions. Some general maintenance guidelines will extend the useful life of your trowel.

• The initial service for your power trowel should be performed after 25 hours of use, at which time your
mechanic (or authorized repair shop) should complete all of the recommended checks in the schedule
above. The chart on page 6 (six) is handy for keeping a record of the maintenance performed and the parts
used for servicing your trowel.

• Regular service according to the schedule above will prolong the life of the Walk-Behind Power Trowel and
prevent expensive repairs.

• Keeping your Walk-Behind Power Trowel clean and free from debris is the single most important regular
maintenance operation, over and above the checks in the service schedule above, that can be performed.
After each use your Walk-Behind Power Trowel should be cleaned to remove any dust and debris from the
undercarriage and surrounding components. Use of a power washer will make clean up quick and easy,
especially if a non-stick coating was applied prior to use.

• In the Service Schedule above, items that should be checked, replaced or adjusted are indicated by “o” in
the appropriate column. Not all Walk-Behind Power Trowel models include the same features and options
and as such not all service operations may have to be performed. For ease of recording place a checkmark
(√) through the “o” when the item is complete. If an item is not required or not completed place an “x”
through the “o” in the box.

• All Walk-Behind Power Trowels have governed engine speed of 3600 rpm. See engine manufacturer’s
manual for exact specifications. Care should be used when making any adjustments to the Walk-Behind
Power Trowel not to change the governed speed. Running the engine at lower rpm’s will result in a
decrease of compaction force and lower travel speed. It will create excessive “out-of-synch” vibrations
resulting in poor compaction, maneuverability, excessive wear to the machine, and discomfort to the
operator.

• Failure to have your Walk-Behind Power Trowel regularly serviced and properly maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions will lead to premature failure and void the warranty.

WALK-BEHIND TROWEL INSTRUCTION MANUAL

FOREWORD

The Terex Bartell Walk-Behind Power Trowel is highly
effective for a wide variety of surface, sub-soil, and
back-fill materials. Although relatively light in weight and
easy to operate, the Walk-Behind Power Trowel delivers
a tremendous impact to the soil. Pound for pound, the
Walk-Behind Power Trowels provide a higher impact
force. That means more productivity from our ideal
combination of speed and deeper compaction.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Always keep unauthorized, inexperienced, untrained
people away from this machine.

• Rotating and moving parts will cause injury if
contacted. Make sure guards are in place. Keep
hands and feet away from moving parts.

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

• The engine must always be stopped before
attempting any repair or adjustments. Ignition switch
should be off.

• Be careful not to come in contact with the muffler
when the engine is hot, serious burns may result!

DANGER:
Never operate the machine in an explosive
atmosphere, near combustible materials or where
ventilation does not clear exhaust fumes. Repair
fuel leaks immediately. Refer to your engine
owner’s manual for more safety instructions.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Your new Terex Bartell Walk-Behind Power Trowel has
been shipped to you partially assembled. Filling the fuel
tank and a brief check of lubricant levels in preparation
for operation is required. To complete the assembly the
following instructions will be helpful.

1. TROWELS – Attach trowel blades with screws and
lock washers supplied. See (A) and (B) Fig. 1. Be
careful that adjusting screw (C) does not protrude
below arm when attaching blades. This could cause
the machine to jump and promote excessive wear in
operation.

2. STABILIZER RING – (if supplied) Install using
screws, bushings and lock washers supplied. See
Fig. 1 (D)

3. HANDLE ASSEMBLY – Put cable end Fig. 2 (A)
through hole in yoke (B) and secure with nut (C),
then install handle bracket on gearbox. To get
proper cable tension, turn control knob Fig. 3,
counter-clockwise to stop position. Guide screw (B)
will now be at the bottom slot. Tighten nut Fig. 4 (A)
until slack is removed from point (B) as indicated. If
more than 2 or 3 threads show through, then nut
should be turned back.

590 HUEY RD, SOUTH CAROLINA, USA, 29730, 800-247-8577 FAX [phone]

Guide screw, Fig. 3 (B) should be moved to next
lower hole in slide bushing and cable re-adjusted as
above. Turn hand knob completely clockwise and
check for clearance between yoke and gearbox at
point (C) Fig. 4. There should be enough space to
pass a business card through.

4. STATIONARY RING – Install stationary ring as

shown in Fig. 5 with the side bar on engine recoil
side. (May not be exactly as shown). Install rubber
bushings (A) on top and bottom of mounting plate.
Install metal caps (B). Place ring on top and run
screw (C) through caps and rubbers. Tighten lock nut
(D) securely on bottom. It is best to start nuts on all 4
corners before tightening.

5. ENGINE CONTROLS – Attach throttle control to

handle with screws provided. See DIAGRAM 1 below
for your engine model hook-up. For safety switch
connection, attach wire to terminal provided at

“ON/OFF” location.
The throttle cable must be cut and formed to fit. Feed
the cable through the cable clamp on the engine. Pull
the cable through the clamp until it forms a smooth
arc from the handle to the engine. Mark the cable at
the clamp and pull the cable back from the casing at
the throttle. Without cutting the cable, Cut casing at
the mark and push the cable back through fresh cut
end. Form a small “L” bend in the cable, hook the
inner cable into the throttle block and tighten cable
clamp down onto the casing. With thumb lever and
throttle block in the fully open position, cut the inner
cable by the thumb lever, leaving enough wire
exposed to secure to the lever. Insert the cable into
the fitting and tighten the screw. Restore throttle to
idle position.

IMPORTANT:
Before running machine with belt installed, ensure
that engine idles properly and that the safety-switch
shuts off the engine.

6. BELT GUARD – Install after machine has been

tested, taking care that it does not touch clutch or

pulley.

ATTENTION:
For any information regarding engine adjustments,
please refer to the engine manual supplied.

OPERATION (Floating)

When the slab has set sufficiently firm that the
operator’s footprint leaves a very slight depression on
the surface of the slab, it is ready for the floating
operation.
Under normal operating conditions the machine should
cover as much as 1000 sq. ft. in about 15 minutes. It is
recommended that a slight tension on the trowel control
cable, (but not a definite tilt), during the floating
operation will cause the machine to operate much
smoother. After the floated slab has set sufficiently, it is
ready for the finishing operation.

CAUTION:
Do not let the machine stand in one spot on the
soft cement. Lift from the slab when the floating
operation is complete.

OPERATION (Finishing)

When starting the finishing operation, never set the
trowels up over 1/4” pitch. This is important. Guiding the
machine on the slab is very simple, a slight upward lift of
the handle causes the machine to travel to the left.
Holding the handle in the neutral position, will slowly
cause the machine to spin in one spot. Slight downward
pressure on the handle causes the machine to travel to
the right. Best results are obtained by covering
approximately 4” on each turn. In other words, let the
machine move right or left, backwards or forwards,
approximately 4” with each revolution of the trowels. To
fill a hole or cut down a hump, move the unit back and
forth over the problem area.
After the first pass over the slab, the waiting time
between operations is determined in the same manner
as if you were hand troweling. To repeat; the entire
application and action of the troweling machine in regard
to getting on the slab, and the correct pitch of the
trowels, is determined in the same manner as would be
used by a cement finisher when troweling by hand.

STARTING PROCEDURE: *WARM CLIMATE

Open fuel valve on gas tank. Set throttle lever to “Fast”
idle position, set choke to closed position, start engine.
Open choke slightly to prevent flooding. Move to “Open”
or “Run” position when engine is warm, increase throttle
to maximum operation position (3600 rpm).

STARTING PROCEDURE: *COLD CLIMATE

Follow same procedure as above but allow longer
warm-up period – 3 to 5 minutes. In cold weather, oil is
much heavier to move and requires more time to work
its way into the moving parts. If maximum power is not
attained, allow further warm-up time. Fill fuel tank with

DO NOT MIX OIL WITH GASOLINE – USE UNLEADED
GAS ONLY.

STOPPING PROCEDURE

1. Throttle engine down.

2. Turn off stop switch.

LUBRICATION

1. ENGINE OIL

The long life and successful operation of any piece of
machinery is dependent on frequent and thorough
lubrication.
Before using the trowel, always check your engine for
oil. Use proper engine oil as recommended in the
engine manufacturer’s manual. Fill crankcase to
levels as recommended.

2. SPIDER PLATE

There are 8 (eight) grease fittings on the spider
plates, 4 (four) on each must be greased daily.

SPIDER PLATES MUST BE GREASED EVERY
TIME MACHINE IS USED.

3. GEARBOX

Check the oil level sight plugs on both gearboxes
daily to ensure the oil is half way on the site glass.
Top up with Agma 8 compounded gear oil only.
Gearbox capacity 16 oz. to 19 oz. (473ml. To 562ml.)
Example: Esso/Exxon Cylesstic TK680.

4. TO CHANGE GEARBOX OIL

Place a pan beneath the drain plug to catch the oil.
Remove the drain plug and the filler plug from the
gearbox. After the oil has drained completely, replace
the drain plug and tighten. Fill the gearbox through
the filler plug with 16 oz. to 19 oz. (473ml. To 562ml.)
of Agma 8 compounded gear oil. Replace the filler
plug and tighten.

5. GREASE FITTINGS

There are 6 bearings in total. Grease all bearings and
U-joints to ensure adequate supply of lubricant. They
are located above the gearboxes (2 per gearbox) and
2 located in the drive system. The U-joints are
located in the drive system as well.

STORAGE

The following steps should be taken to prepare your
Walk-Behind Power Trowel for extended storage.

1. Close fuel shut off valve.

2. Siphon excess gasoline from tank.

3. Start engine until it stops from lack of fuel. This will
use up all the fuel in the carburetor and prevent
formation of deposits due to evaporation of fuel.

4. Remove spark plug and pour 2 oz. of SAE-30 or
SAE-40 motor oil into the cylinder. Slowly crank the
engine 2 or 3 times to distribute the oil throughout
the cylinder. This will help prevent rust during
storage. Replace spark plug.

5. Store the unit in an upright position in a cool, dry,
well ventilated area.

MAINTENANCE

Maintaining your Walk-Behind Power Trowel will insure
long life to the machine and its components.

AIR CLEANER - Keep air filter clean at all times. Wash
away dust and debris using a non-oil based cleaning
solvent. Let the filter dry before re-installing.
LUBRICATION – Always check engine oil regularly.
Use proper engine oil as recommended. See chart
below. Fill crankcase to levels as recommended in
manufacture’s engine manual.

SPARK PLUG – Check and clean spark plugs
regularly. A fouled, dirty or carboned spark plug causes
hard starting and poor engine performance. Set spark
plug gap to recommended clearance. Refer to engine
manual.

BELT TENSION – IMPORTANT!
If there is excessive belt play, there will be a decrease
in the impact force and erratic vibration, which could
cause machine damage. The normal belt play should
be 1/2” to 5/8” which is attained by depressing the top
section of the belt at the belt guard mounting bracket
location. When adjusting the belt make sure that the
clutch is in alignment with exciter pulley. Tighten all
engine mount bolts, adjust the two engine-stop bolts,
and tighten lock nuts.

The trowel arm adjustment fixture (20801) is reversible.
By rotating the arm clamping fixture and the ring bolt,
both left hand and right hand trowel arms may be
adjusted. Before attempting adjustment, determine
whether the trowel arm is right handed or left handed.
When adjusting left hand trowel arms use the side of the
fixture marked “L”. When adjusting right hand trowels
arms use the opposite side. The adjustment bar will be
set on “36” for the Walk-behind trowel arm.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

1. Remove all trowel arm assemblies (1 & 2 arm and
attached lift lever) from suspected maladjusted spider
plate.

2. Remove lift lever (2) from trowel arm (1) by first
loosening jam nut (3) then square head screw (4). If
upon inspection (method left to discretion of
serviceman) any trowel arm (1) is found to be in a
bent condition, it must either be brought back to its
original straight condition (method left to the
serviceman’s discretion) or replaced with new part.

3. Replace lift levers (2) on new or straightened arms
(1) by reversing procedure as described above.

NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WHEN TIGHT­ENING SQUARE HEAD NUT (4), IT SEATS ITSELF
SECURELY INTO DIMPLE MACHINED IN ARM.

4. Place trowel arm assembly (1 and 2) in fixture (5)
with lift lever (2) butting up against fixture. Secure in
place with bolts (6).

5a.

5. Loosen locknut (7) and screw carriage bold (8) down
to full depth allowable. This will provide for ample
clearance to swing precision ground adjustment bar
(9) over head of carriage bolt. Adjustment bar (9) is
stamped for appropriate size of machine. Swing
appropriate side directly over carriage bolt (8) and
secure in place with bolt (10).

6. Adjust carriage bolt (8) upwards until contact is made
with adjustment bar (9); holding carriage bolt in
position with one wrench, tighten locknut (7) to secure
in position with second wrench.

NOTE: IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE
THAT ONCE THE CARRIAGE BOLT IS ADJUSTED
TO THE CORRECT HEIGHT, IT DOES NOT MOVE
BEFORE, OR DURING THE TIGHTENING OF
LOCKNUT.

7. This same procedure is to be followed with ALL arms
from spider plate assembly, and will ensure correct
and exact adjustment.

TROWEL ARM ADJUSTMENT SCREW

When assembling trowel blades to trowel arms, the
adjustment screw should NEVER protrude below the
under-side surface to a trowel arm except when using for
emergency on-site adjustment to level trowel blades.
If the adjustment screw is not flush with the underside of
the trowel arm, then this will cause the power trowel to
bounce and vibrate especially at high speed. This will
also cause the trowel blades to leave an uneven finish to
the concrete due to the blades not being level to one

Make certain that the adjusting screw is held firmly in
place while tightening the bolt which secures the blade to
the trowel arm.
