safety information in good, readable condition. Operators should
be well trained on the operation and maintenance of the trowel.

Before using your trowel, test it on a flat watered down section of
finished concrete that is free of any debris and other objects.

This trial test run will increase your confidence in using the trowel
and at the same time it will familiarize you with the trowel’s
controls. In addition you will understand how the trowel handles
under actual conditions.

Engines
This trowel is available with either an 8.0 HP HONDA, 8.5 HP

ROBIN, or a 8.0 HP Briggs and Stratton gasoline engine.

Refer to the engine owner’s manual for instructions regarding
the operation and maintenance of your engine. The engine
manual is included with your trowel at the time of shipment from
Whiteman. Please contact your nearest Multiquip Dealer for a
replacement should the original manual disappear.

Drive System

Power is transferred from the engine to the gearbox input shaft
via a V-belt or pulley drive system. The pulley engages using
either a centrifugal or manual clutch. See page 23.

BA-SERIES TROWEL— CONTROLS AND COMPONENTS

Figures 3 shows the location of the basic controls or components,
for the BA-Series trowel. Listed below is a brief explanation of
each control or component

1. Quick Pitch™ Control Handle – To adjust the pitch of
the blades, grasp the handle then squeeze and either move
the handle forward or backward to achieve the desired
blade pitch.

2. Handlebar Adjuster – Change the angle/height of the
handle bars by loosening star wheel, adjust handlebars to
desired location, tighten starwheel firmly to hold handlebars
in that position.

3. Hand Grip/Handle Bar – When operating the trowel, place
both hands on each grip to maneuver the trowel. Replace
hand grips when they become worn or damaged.

4. Throttle Control Grip – Controls the speed of the engine.
Rotate the hand grip away from the operator to increase
engine speed (high), toward the operator to decrease
engine speed (low).

5. Throttle – Controls engine speed when throttle control
grip is rotated.

15. Engine – This trowel uses Honda, Robin and Briggs and
Stratton type gasoline engines.

16. Trowel Arm – NEVER operate the trowel with a bent,
broken or out of adjustment trowel arm. If the blades show
uneven wear patterns or some blades wear out faster than
others, the trowel arm may need to be adjusted. Use the
trowel arm adjustment tool P/N 1817 to adjust the trowel
arms.

17. Blades – This trowel is equipped with combination blades.
These blades are versatile and should take care of most
troweling needs. In addition float discs can be attached to
the trowel arms that will allow the trowel to float on "wet"
concrete.

18. V-Belt Cover – Remove this cover to gain access to the V­belt. NEVER operate the trowel with this cover removed.

20. Stabilizer Ring – Reduces trowel arm vibration. Helps
stabilize trowel arm.

6. Hand Grip/Handle Bar – When operating the trowel, place
both hands on each grip to maneuver the trowel. Replace
hand grips when they become worn or damaged.

7. Centrifugal Kill Switch – In the event the operator loses
control of the trowel, this switch will shut-down the engine.

8. Auxiliary Lifting Tube - Use this tube to lift the trowel onto
a slab. Tube is to be inserted into socket located in front of
the gearbox.

9. Weights – The trowel may be equipped with two 10 lbs.
weights. The weights may be removed to reduce the
operating weight of the trowel.

10. Trowel Lifting Point – Insert the auxiliary lifting tube here.
See Figure 21.

11. Pitch Control (standard models) - Turn this "Star Wheel"
clockwise for increase blade pitch, and counter-clockwise
for decrease blade pitch.

12. Clutch Lever - Clutch engagement lever. When this lever
is engaged, the blades will begin to rotate. May be used
with either Quick Pitch™ or Standard handle.

13. Main Tube - When disassembling components inside the
tube exercise extreme CAUTION! Tube is spring-loaded,
severe injury could result if not disassembled correctly.

14. Guard Ring- NEVER! put hands or feet inside guard ring.

Figure 4. Engine Controls and Components

INITIAL SERVICING

The engine (Figure 4) must be checked for proper lubrication and
filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers engine
manual for instructions & details of operation and servicing. The
engine shown above is a HONDA engine, operation for other
types of engines may vary somewhat.

1. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded
gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened
securely. DO NOT over fill.

5. Fuel Valve Lever – OPEN to let fuel flow, CLOSE to stop
the flow of fuel.

6. Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in
cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel
mixture.

7. Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering
the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter
cannister to gain access to filter element.

DANGER

Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when

the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to
cool down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT attempt to start the
engine until the fuel residue has been completely wiped up, and the
area surrounding the engine is dry.

2. Throttle Lever – Used to adjust engine RPM speed (lever

).

, lever back toward operator

8. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set
spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.028 - 0.031 inch) Clean
spark plug once a week.

9. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.

NOTE

Operating the engine without an air filter,
with a damaged air filter, or a filter in need of
replacement will allow dirt to enter the
engine, causing rapid engine wear.

WARNING

3. Engine ON/OFF Switch – ON position permits engine
starting, OFF position stops engine operations.

4. Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method. Pull
the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and
smoothly.

PAGE 18 — BA-SERIES WALK-BEHIND TROWEL— OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #6 (07/06/10)

while the engine is running or immediately after operating. NEVER
operate the engine with the muffler removed.

10. Fuel Tank – Holds unleaded gasoline. For additional
information refer to engine owner's manual.

Engine components can generate extreme heat.
To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas

BA-SERIES TROWEL — ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

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.

Handle Tube Installation (All Models)

1. Install the

handle tube

to the gearbox as shown in (Figure 5).
The mounting hardware should be contained in the shipping
container.

application. Practice maneuvering the trowel. The trick is to let
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
trowel is repeated use.

Clip-On Float Blades (Optional)

These blades will clip (Figure 34) 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 35) 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.

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 38) that will adjust all of
the trowel arms consistently. The Trowel Arm Fixture P/N is 1817.

2. Start engine, and bring trowel blades up to full speed and look
for the following conditions:

■

Does the trowel have a perceived rolling or bouncing
motion when in use?

■

Look at the trowel while it is running, does the guard
ring “rock up and down” relative to the ground?

Spider Removal

1. Once it is determined that an adjustment is required, remove
the spider assembly from the gearbox shaft as follows:

a. Locate the cone point square head set screw (Figure 41)

and attached jam nut found on the side of the spider
assembly.

b. Loosen the jam nut and cone point square head set

c. If the trowel is equipped with an outer stabilizer ring

screw, and carefully lift the
of the spider assembly. A slight tap with a rubber mallet
may be necessary to dislodge the spider from the main
shaft of the gearbox.

(Figure 42), remove the four bolts at the end of each
spider arm.

Trowel Arm Adjustment

Shown in Figure 47 is the adjustment fixture with a trowel arm
inserted. As each trowel arm is locked into the fixture, the arm bolt
is adjusted to where it contacts a stop on the fixture. This will
consistently adjust all of the trowel arms, keeping the finisher as
flat and evenly pitched as possible.

1. Locate the trowel arm adjustment tool P/N 1817. Set the
adjustment tool for a clock-wise blade rotation, meaning the
fixture arm is in the "UP" position.

3. Un-screw the locking bolts on the adjustment tool, and place
the trowel arm into the adjustment fixture channel as shown
in Figure 48. A
holes on the trowel arm. Make sure to align the trowel
adjustment bolt with the fixture adjustment bolt.

4. Using an allen wrench, tighten the locking bolts on the
adjustment tool and securely lock the trowel arm in place.

5. Loosen the locking nut on the trowel arm lever, then turn the
trowel arm adjusting bolt until it barely touches (.010") the
adjusting bolt on the fixture.

6. After the correct adjustment has been made, tighten lock nut
on trowel arm lever to lock in place.

7. Loosen locking bolts on adjustment fixture, and remove
trowel arm from fixture.

8. Repeat steps 2-7 for the remaining trowel arms.

Re-Assembly

1. Clean and examine the upper/lower wear plates and thrust
collar. Examine the entire spider assembly. Wire brush any
concrete or rust build-up. If any of the spider components are
found to be damaged or out of round, replace them.

2. Trowels manufactured prior to June of 1982 require that the
distance from the end of the adjusting bolt and the fixture arm
must be 7/8" (Figure 48). Conversely, trowels manufactured
after June of 1982 require that the distance from the end of
the adjusting bolt and the fixture arm must be 1/2".

Hand Clutch Adjustment

Some trowels are equipped with a hand-operated clutch instead
of an automatic centrifugal clutch. Two types of hand clutches
have been installed. Both are belt-tightener type clutches. They
operate by removing
power from the engine to the gearbox.

13. Lubricate all grease points (zerk fittings) with premium

based grease, conforming to NLG1 Grade #2

There are two reasons to adjust the hand clutch: 1) operator
comfort; 2) initial belt stretch and break-in.

consistency.

Testing

1. Place trowel in test area, start engine and test trowel for
smoothness.

The easiest and most simple adjustment is to adjust the clutch
cable housing using the adjustment nut (Figure 48) located on the
clutch lever. Rotating the nut provides either more or less
(depending upon the direction of rotation) clutch engagement.

2. If trowel bounces has excessive vibration or does not run
smoothly repeat alignment procedure.

in the V-belt which then transmits

Figure 48. Hand Clutch Adjustment

1. Place the machine on a flat, level surface. Adjust the blade
pitch control to make the blades as flat as possible. Note the
blade orientation on the trowel arm.

Hand Clutch Disengagement

1. Start the trowel as outlined in the "
this manual. Move the throttle lever so that the engine is
running about 1/4 to 1/3 of full speed.

NOTE

Before removing the blades, please note
the orientation of the blade on the trowel
arm.

2. Grip the trowel handle firmly and carefully engage the clutch
by squeezing the clutch lever toward the handle with your left
hand. After the trowel is stabilized and you feel comfortable
with its operation, use your right hand to adjust the housing
adjustment nut.

3.

1. Remove the three bolts and lock washers that secure the
blade to the trowel arm. Remove the blade.

2. Using a wire brush, scrape all concrete particles and foreign
debris from the trowel arm.

3. Install the new trowel blade onto the trowel arm. Make sure
blade is installed correctly, maintaining the proper orienta­tion for direction of rotation

4. Reinstall the three bolts and lock washers that secure the

.

blade to the trowel arm. Tighten all three bolts securely.

Rotating the nut so that it backs out of the lever housing
increases the engagement and also the squeezing force
required to keep it engaged.

Too much squeezing force may cause premature hand
fatigue. Too little squeezing force may cause belt slippage
and premature belt wear. Each operator should experiment
with the adjustment to get the optimum combination of
squeeze force and belt grip.

4. After initial break-in (approximately 8 hours) the above
procedure should be repeated to attain optimum operator
comfort and belt wear.

above may have a little or no effect on clutch engagement. If
this is the case, the belt should be replaced.
