THIS MANUAL MUST ACCOMPANY THE EQUIPMENT AT ALL TIMES.
P/N 20382
Engine exhaust and some of its constituents, and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drillingand other constructionactivities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Leadfromlead-based paints. Crystallinesilica frombricks. Cementand other masonryproducts. Arsenicandchromiumfromchemically treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, dependingon howoftenyoudo thistype of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in aALWAYS well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING
SILICOSIS WARNING RESPIRATORY HAZARDS
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow the respiratory precautions mentioned above.
WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials. California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the materials being used.

HHN -31V — GENERAL INFORMATION
HHN RIDE-ON TROWEL FAMILIARIZATION
The HHN series Ride-On Power Trowel is designed for the floating and finishing of concrete slabs.
Take a walk around the HHN Ride-On Power Trowel. Take notice of all the major components (see Figures 2 and 3, pages 13 and
14) like the engine, blades, air cleaner, fuel system, fuel shut-off valve, ignition switch etc. Check that there is always oil in the engine, and gear oil in the gear box assembly.
Read all the safety instructions carefully. Safety instructions will be found throughout this manual and on the machine. Keep all safety information in good, readable condition. Operators should be well trained on the operation and maintenance of the HHN Ride-On Power Trowels.
Look at the operator control levers. Grab the control levers and move them around a bit. Look to see how moving the control levers causes the gearboxes and frame to move.
Notice the foot pedal which controls the engine speed. Also take a look at the main driveline of the trowel. Take note and reference how the belts look, this is the way the belts should look when adjusted properly.
Before using your HHN Ride-On Power Trowel, test it on a flat watered down section of finished concrete. 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 and indicators. In addition you will understand how the trowel will handle under actual conditions.
Engine
Gearboxes
The HHN Ride on Power Trowel consist of two separate gearbox assemblies that are enclosed in rugged cast aluminum gear cases.
The gearbox casing holds 50% more oil capacity than competitors, which allows more lubrication to be provided to critical points.
Steering Assist
Dual control levers located in front of the operator's seat are provided for steering the HHN Ride on Power Trowel. The control levers are linked to two spring loaded cylinders.
Push the left control lever forward and pull the right control lever backward and the trowel will rotate clockwise on approximately a center axis. Pull the left control lever backward and push the right control lever forward and the trowel will rotate counterclockwise. See Table 3 on page 15 for a complete description on the control levers directional positioning.
Constant Velocity Joints (CV-Joints)
Constant velocity joints insure the efficient transfer of power to the drive shaft and maintain the timing of the gearboxes without any chance of slippage.
Training
For training, please use the “TRAINING CHECKLIST” located in the front of this manual (Page 5). This checklist is not intended to be a substitute for proper training but will provide an outline for an experienced operator to provide training to a new operator.
The HHN Ride-On Power Trowel is equipped with a liquid cooled 31 HP Vanguard gasoline engine. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for specific instructions regarding engine operation. This manual is included with the ride-on trowel at the time of shipping from Whiteman. Please contact your nearest Multiquip Dealer for a replacement should the original manual disappear.
Blades
The blades of the ride-on power trowel finish the concrete as they are swirled around the surface. Blades are classified as combination (10 or 8 inches wide) and finish (6 inches wide). The HHN ride-on power trowels are equipped with five blades per rotor equally spaced in a radial pattern and attached to a vertical rotating shaft by means of a

4. Practice holding the machine in one place as you increase blade speed. When about 75% of maximum blade speed has been reached, the blade will be moving at proper finishing speed. The machine may be difficult to keep in one place. Trying to keep the ride-on trowel stationary is a good practice for operation.
5. Practice maneuvering the ride-on trowel using the information listed in Table 3. Try to practice controlled motions as if you were finishing a slab of concrete. Practice edging and covering a large area.
6. Try adjusting the pitch of the blades. This can be done with the ride-on trowel stopped or while the trowel is moving, whatever feels comfortable. Test the operation of optional equipment like retardant spray and lights if equipped.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
.
See the engine manual supplied with your machine for appropriate engine maintenance schedule and troubleshooting guide for problems.
At the front of the book (Page B) there is a “Daily Pre-Operation Checklist”. Make copies of this checklist and use it on a daily basis.
Disconnect spark plug wires and battery cables before attempting any service or maintenance on the ride-on trowel.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Daily (8-10 Hours)
NOTE
Checking The Drive Belt
The drive belt needs to be changed as soon as it begins to show signs of wear. DO NOT reuse a belt under any circumstances. Indications of excessive belt wear are fraying, squealing when in use, belts that emit smoke or a burning rubber smell when in use.
Under normal operating conditions, a drive belt may last approximately 150 hours. If your trowel is not reaching this kind of life span for drive belt wear, check the drive belt for proper pulley alignment and spacing .
To gain access to the drive belt, remove the drive belt guard cover, then visually inspect the drive belt for signs of damage or excessive wear. If thedrive belt is worn or damaged, replace the drive belt.
HHN -31V — MAINTENANCE
1. Check the fluid levels in the engine and gearboxes, fill as necessary.
Weekly (30-40 Hours)
1. Relube arms, thrust collar and steering links.
2. Replace blades if necessary.
3. Check and clean or replace the engine air filter as necessary.
4. Replace engine oil and filter as necessary, see engine manual.
Monthly (100-125 Hours)
1. Remove, clean, reinstall and relube the arms and thrust collar. Adjust the blade arms.
2. Replace gearbox lubricant after the first 100 hours of operation. Then replace every 500-600 hours.
3. Check drive belt fro excessive wear.
Yearly (500-600 Hours)
1. Check and replace if necessary the arm bushings, and thrust collar bushings, shaft seals and belts.
2. Check pitch control cables for wear.
WARNING:
DO NOT attempt to insert hands or tools into the belt area while
the engine is running and the safety guard has been removed. Keep fingers, hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent bodily injury.

Installing the Replacement Drive Belt
The HHN trowel is equipped with a replacement drive belt (spare) carrier (Figure 13), which is mounted on the back-side of the fuel tank opposite the clutch. Make sure that there is ALWAYS a spare drive belt in the drive belt carrier before the trowel is placed on a slab to finish concrete.
1. To add a replacement drive belt for use on the upper and lower drive pulleys, remove the 2 screws that secure the spare drive belt carrier.
2. Remove the spare drive belt carrier from the trowel, and free the replacement drive belt.
3. Slide the replacement drive belt over the upper and lower pulleys reversing steps 1 thru 5 on page 20.
NOTE
It will be necessary to disconnect the CV-Joint from the left-side gear box coupler. This means the removal of the three screws that secure the CV-Joint to the gear box.
Spare Drive Belt Replacement
To replace a spare drive belt, be prepared to disconnect the CV­joint from the left-side gear box.
1. Place the HHN trowel on jack stands, and observe all safety precautions.
2. Remove the three screws that secure the CV-joint to the left-side gear box coupler.
3. Once the CV-joint has been separated from the left-side gearbox, push the CV-joint inward so that a gap exist between the gearbox and the CV-joint (Figure 13). Slide the spare V-belt between the gear box coupler and the CV­joint. If any grease or oil is present on the replacement drive belt, remove it.
4. Place the spare drive belt inside the drive belt carrier, and secure the spare belt carrier to the back-side of fuel tank.
5. Install the three screws that secure the CV-joint to the left­side gear box coupler.
It may be necessary to disconnect the CV-Joint from the lower pulley coupler. This means the removal of the three screws that secure the CV-Joint to the pulley.

HHN -31V — MAINTENANCE
The HHN trowel is equipped with a "Torque Converter" which supplies torque to both the left and right gear boxes.
The function of the a torque converter is to automatically deliver the correct amount of torque required by the trowel under all load conditions. This enables the trowel to deliver the necessary torque for float pan applications and the high rotor speeds required for burnishing concrete.
The torque converter used in the HHN series trowels is of the variable pitch pulley type (Figure 14) connected by a drive belt.
Fig. 14. Torque Converter/Variable Pitch Pulley
As shown in Figure 16, centrifugal force pushes the roller arms (see Figure 17 below) against the ramp plate, forcing moveable face toward fixed face squeezing belt.

Blade Pitch
Matching Blade Pitch for Both Sets of Blades
Sometimes it may be necessary to match blade pitch between the two sets of blades. There are some signs that this may be necessary. For example, the differences in pitch could cause a noticeable difference in finish quality between the two sets of blades. Or, the difference in blade pitch could make the machine difficult to control. This is due to the surface area in contact with the concrete (the blade set with the greater contact area tends to stick to the concrete more).

Clutch
This clutch system provides a high pulley ratio (a low gear- so to speak) to start out and a low pulley ratio ( a high gear- so to speak) for a high speed operation, with infinite variation between the two.
This means that it will not be necessary to give order to "break the blades/pans loose". The machine can slowly be brought up to speed.

HHN -31V — MAINTENANCE
Blade Pitch Adjustment Procedure
The maintenance adjustment of blade pitch is an adjustment that is made by a bolt (Figure 19) on the arm of the trowel blade finger. This bolt is the contact point of the trowel arm to the lower wear plate on the thrust collar. The goal of adjustment is to promote consistent blade pitch and finishing quality.
There are some things to look for when checking to see if adjustment is necessary. Is the machine wearing out blades unevenly (i.e. one blade is completely worn out while the others look new)? Does the machine have a perceptible rolling or bouncing motion when in use? Look at the machine while it is running, do the guard rings “rock up and down” relative to the ground? Do the pitch control towers rock back and forth? These are some of the indications that the blade pitch may need to be adjusted using the adjustment bolts on the trowel blade finger.
It will be possible to adjust the “high” bolts down to the level of the one that is not touching, or adjust the “low” bolt up to the level of the higher ones. If possible, adjust the low bolt up to the level of the rest of the bolts. This is the fastest way, but may not always work. Verify that after adjustment, the blades pitch correctly.
Often times, if the blades are incorrectly adjusted, they will not be able to pitch flat. This occurs when the adjusting bolts have been raised too high. Conversely, sometimes the adjusting bolts are too low and the blades cannot be pitched high enough for finishing operations.
Changing A Blade
Whiteman recommends that all the blades on the entire machine be changed at the same time. If only one or some of the blades are changed at one time, the machine will not finish concrete consistently and the machine may wobble or bounce.
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. This is important for ride-on trowels as the two sets of blades counter-rotate. Lift the machine up, placing blocks under the main guard ring to support it.
Figure 19. Blade Pitch Adjustment Bolt
The easiest and most consistent way to make this adjustment is to use the Trowel Arm Adjustment Fixture (P.N. 9177) . This fixture will allow consistent adjustment of the trowel arm fingers. It comes with all the hardware necessary to properly accomplish this maintenance and instructions on how to properly utilize this tool. Adjusting the trowel arm fingers without a fixture requires a special talent.
If a trowel arm adjustment fixture is not available and immediate adjustment is necessary; we suggest the following procedure. If you can see or feel which blade is pulling harder, adjust the bolt that corresponds to that blade.
Another way to determine which blades need adjustment is to place the machine on a flat surface and pitch the blades as flat as possible. Now, look at the adjustment bolts. They should all barely make contact with the lower wear plate on the spider. If you can see that one of them is not making contact; some adjustment will be necessary.
2. Remove the bolts and lock washers on the trowel arm, and then remove the blade.
3. Scrape all concrete and debris from the trowel arm. This is important to properly seat the new blade.
4. Install the new blade, maintaining the proper orientation for direction of rotation.
5. Affix the bolts and lock washers.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for all remaining blades.
Steering Adjustment
The steering assist adjustment is to be performed only by qualified service technicians. For HHN steering adjustment instructions, reference MQ Whiteman service bulletin 200925
Clean-Up
Never allow concrete to harden on the power trowel. Immediately after use wash any concrete off the trowel with water, be careful not to spray a hot engine or muffler. An old paint brush or broom may help loosen any concrete that has started to harden.
