Assembly and Installation
Before the trowel can be put into operation there are some
components that must be installed before the trowel can be used.
This section provided general instructions on how to install those
components. Instruction sheet P/N 20485 provides further details
for the handle assembly.

the trowel do the work.
Continue to practice maneuvering the trowel. Try to practice as if
you were finishing a slab of concrete. Practice edging and
covering a large area. Remember a good finishing technique is
to work backwards. Be careful when moving backwards so that
hazards can be avoided. The best way to get accustomed to the

Clip-On Float Blades (Optional)
These blades will clip (Figure 33) on to an existing installed blade,
allowing your finisher to float on “wet” concrete so that the
troweling operation can begin as early as possible. They are
easily removable, so that after the floating operation, when the
concrete is sufficiently cured, they can be removed to expose the
finish blades for continued troweling.
Float Discs (Optional)
These round discs (Figure 34) attach to the spiders and allow the
machine to “float” on “wet” concrete. The disc design allows early
floating and easy movement from wet to dry areas. They are also
very effective in embedding large aggregates and surface
hardeners.

Grinding Attachments
Available grinding attachments are used for grinding surface
imperfections or joints. These attachments allow greater utilization
of your trowel. (Figure 35) illustrates a typical grinding disk
assembly, complete with hub and stone mounting plate.
Trowel Arm Adjustment Tool
If blades show uneven wear patterns or some tend to wear out
faster than others, the trowel arms may need to be adjusted.
Whiteman makes a special tool (Figure 37) that will adjust all of
the trowel arms consistently. The Trowel Arm Fixture P/N is 1817.

Lifting Bail
There is a heavy duty, center balance type lifting bail (Figure 36)
made specifically for your trowel. These bails are ideal for lifting
and transporting your trowel. They are designed to lift the finisher
and balance it on it’s center of gravity, providing great stability
while lifting. This option is not available on electric trowel models.
