HTN/HTO-31V — SILICOSIS/RESPIRATORY HAZARDS
WARNING
SILICOSIS WARNINGRESPIRATORY 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.

HTN/HTO-31V — GENERAL INFORMATION
HTN/HTO Ride-On Trowel Familarization
The HTN/HTO series Ride-On Power Trowels are designed for
the floating and finishing of concrete slabs. These ride-on trowels
are available in non-overlapping (HTN), and overlapping (HTO)
configurations.
Take a walk around the HTN/HTO Ride-On Power Trowel. Take
note of all the major components 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 HTN/
HTO 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 HTN/HTO 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 HTN/HTO Ride on Power Trowel consist of two separate
gearbox assemblies that are enclosed in rugged cast aluminum
gear cases. The main gear is a high quality bronze and steel
composite. The worm gear is composed of hardened steel.
Cooling fins and fans are integrated into the gearbox to provide
maximum cooling for the gearbox oil. 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 HTN/HTO 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.
Constant Velocity Joints (CV-Joints)
Constant velocity joints insure the efficient transfer of power to
the drive shaft and maintains the timing of the gearboxes without
any chance of slippage.
Training
For proper training, please use the “TRAINING CHECKLIST”
located in the front of this manual. This checklist will provide an
outline for an experienced operator to provide training to a new
operator.
The HTN/HTO 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), finish (6 inches wide). The
HTN/HTO 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

HTN/HTO-31V — MAINTENANCE (TROWEL)
Belt Changing Procedure
The belts need to be changed as soon as they show signs
of wear. Remember that all belts should be changed at the
same time. 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 set of belts may last
approximately six months. If you trowel is not reaching this
kind of life span for belts, there are some things to check
when you replace a set of belts.
Check to ensure that the belts are tensioned correctly. Next,
check to make sure that the lower drive pulley (Figure 18) is
aligned properly.
Your machine is equipped with a spare belt carrier (Figure 18). It
is located opposite the clutch, mounted on the fuel tank. Make
sure that there are belts in the carrier before the trowel is placed
on a slab to finish concrete.
To install new belts from the spare belt carrier, first cut off
the old belts. Next, remove the spare belt carrier by
unscrewing the two bolts that attach it to the fuel tank.
Make sure that there are belts in
NOTE
the belt carrier before the trowel is
placed on a slab to finish concrete.
The next step is to loosen the four engine mounting bolts
and slide the engine toward the rear of the trowel. Slide the
first belt over the clutch and place it on the upper drive pulley,
then pull it down and place it on the lower drive pulley. Repeat
this procedure for the second belt.
Realign the engine as described in the Belt TensionAdjustment Procedure, and replace the belts in the spare
belt carrier.
Replacing Spare Belts
.
After the spare set of belts has been installed on the clutch
pulley, it will be necessary to replace the spare set of belts
that were in the spare belt carrier.
To replace a spare set of belts, be prepared to disassemble
driveline
the
The driveline is located directly under the spare belt carrier.
There are three bolts that need to be removed that will
disconnect the CV-joint from the gearbox coupler. Reference
Figure 18.
Once the CV-joint has been separated from the gearbox
coupler, push the CV-joint inward so that a gap exist between
the coupler and the CV-joint. Slide the replacement belts
between this gap, and place them onto the spare belt carrier.
Secure the spare belt carrier to the fuel tank.

Checking Trowel Arm Straightness
Trowel arms can be damaged by rough handling, (such as
dropping the trowel on the pad), or by striking exposed
plumbing, forms, or rebar while in operation. A bent trowel
arm will not allow the trowel to operate in a smooth fluid
rotation. If bent trowel arms are suspect, check for flatness
as follows, refer to Figures 26 and 27.

the test surface as one of the flat hex sections of the arm
rests on the test surface. Rotate the arm to each of the
flat hex sections and check the clearance of the round
shaft. Use a feeler gauge of .005" (0.127 mm). Each
section should have the
same clearance
between the
round of the trowel arm shaft and the test surface (Figure

Trowel Arm Adjustment
Shown in Figure 28 is the adjustment fixture with a trowel arm
NOTE
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 9177.
2.Ensure the fixture arm is in the proper position (up or
down) for your trowel arm rotation as shown in Figure 29.
Arms with CLOCK-WISE blade rotation use
the fixture arm in the UP position (A in Figure
39). Arms with COUNTER CLOCK-WISE
blade rotation use the fixture with the fixture
arm in the DOWN position. (B in Figure 29)
3.Un-screw the locking bolts on the adjustment tool, and
place the trowel arm into the adjustment fixture channel
as shown in Figure 28. A
cover the blade holes on the trowel arm. Make sure to
align the trowel adjustment bolt with the fixture adjustment bolt.
4.Adjust the bolt "distance" shown in Figure 28 to match
one of the arms. The other arms will be adjusted to match

5.Using an allen wrench, tighten the locking bolts on the
adjustment tool and securely lock the trowel arm in
place.
HTN/HTO trowels manufactured
prior to June of 1982 require that
NOTE
the distance from the end of the
adjusting bolt and the fixture arm
must be 7/8" (Figure 28).
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".
6.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.
7.After the correct adjustment has been made, tighten lock
nut on trowel arm lever to lock in place.

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.Make sure that the bronze trowel arm bushing is not
damage or out of round. Clean the bushing if necessary.
If the bronze bushing is damage or worn, replace it.
3.Reinstall bronze bushing onto trowel arm.
4.Repeat steps 2 -3 for each trowel arm.
5.Make sure that the spring tensioner is in the correct
position to exert tension on the trowel arm.
6.Insert all trowel arms with levers into spider plate (with
bronze bushing already installed) using care to align
grease hole on bronze bushing with grease hole fitting on
spider plate.
7.Lock trowel arms in place by tightening the hex head zerk

Blade Pitch Overview
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).
The maintenance adjustment of blade pitch is an adjustment
that is made by a bolt (Figure 30) on the arm of the trowel
blade finger.

reverse order

thrust collar
that they were dis-
and
upper
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.
Figure 30. Blade Pitch Adjustment Bolt
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.
The easiest and most consistent way to make this adjustment
is to use the Trowel Arm Adjustment Fixture (P.N. 9177).
See Figure 30. 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.
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.
HTN/HTO- 31V • RIDE-ON POWER TROWEL — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #6 (07/09/07) — PAGE 33
Page 34
HTN/HTO-31V — MAINTENANCE
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.
Matching Blade Pitch for Both Sets of Blades
The HTN/HTO trowels are equipped with Twin Pitch
controls and may need to have blade pitch between the two
sets of blades "
syncronized
". If the blades need to be
syncronized this is easily accomplished by performing the
following. Refer to Figure 31.
1.Lift the pitch adjustment handle on either side. Once
lifted, that side is now disconnected from the Twin
PitchTM system.
2.Adjust to match the opposite side.
3.When adjusted, lower the handle to Twin Pitch

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.
2.Remove the bolts and lock washers on the trowel arm,
(Figure 32) and then remove the blade.
3.Scrape all concrete and debris from the trowel arm.
This is important to properly seat the new blade.

Installing Pans Onto Finisher Blades
These round discs sometimes referred to as "pans" attach to the
spiders arms and allow early floating on wet concrete and easy
movement from wet to dry areas. They are also very effective in
embedding large aggregates and surface hardeners.
3.Attach the blade tie-downs (Item #3) to the far side of
the Z-Clip brackets (Item #4) with tie-down knobs (Item
#2) as shown in Figure 33.
4.Check to make certain that the blade edges are secured
under the Z-Clips and the tie-downs are secured completely over the edges of the blade bar before the
machine is put back into operation.
Long Term Storage
For storage of the trowel for over 30 days, the following is
required:
■
Run the engine until the fuel in the carburetor is
completely consumed.
■
CAUTION
ALWAYS install pans either on the work area or on an area
that is next to and level with the work area. DO NOT lift the
trowel when the pans are attached.
- Installing Float/Finishing Pans
Remove the battery.
■
Completely drain fuel from fuel tank, fuel line and
carburetor.
■
Completely drain used oil from the engine crankcase and
fill with fresh clean oil, then follow the procedures
