SILICOSIS/RESPIRATORY WARNINGS

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.

Concrete Finishing Techniques

The following steps are intended as a basic guide to machine operation, and are not to be considered a complete guide to concrete ﬁnishing. We suggest that all operators (experienced and novice) read “Slabs on Grade” published by the American Concrete Institute, Detroit, Michigan. Read the “Training” section of this manual for more information.

Pitching the Blades (Standard Handle)

To pitch the blades upwards using the "Standard" handle, (Figure 11) simply turn the star-wheel clockwise. Turning the star wheel counter clockwise will cause the blades to lay ﬂat.

BACKWARDS

Maneuvering the Trowel

1. Get into the operator’s position behind the handle. With

a secure foothold and a ﬁrm grasp on the handle, slowly increase the engine speed until the desired blade speed is obtained.

2. Figure 12 below illustrates a typical walk-behind trowel application. Practice maneuvering the trowel. The trick is to let the trowel do the work.

3. 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.

CAUTION

NEVER place your feet or hands inside the guard rings

while starting or operating this equipment.

OPTIONS

NOTICE

Trowel blades should be changed when they fail to ﬁnish concrete in a satisfactory manner.

Blades are a vital part of ﬁnishing concrete. This trowel, or ﬁnisher, has been designed to ﬁnish concrete and the blades are built to stringent quality standards out of the ﬁnest steel.

If you need replacement blades, consult the parts list in this manual for part numbers and order them from your Multiquip parts dealer or importer.

Combo Blades

This trowel is equipped with combination ﬂoat/ﬁnish (Figure

13) blades as original equipment. These blades have been designed for optimum performance in both the ﬂoating and ﬁnishing operations. These blades are versatile and should take care of most troweling needs.

These blades 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.

Figure 15. Clip-On Float Blade

Float Discs (Optional)

These round discs (Figure 16) 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.

Figure 13. Combination Blade

Finish Blades (Optional)

These blades (Figure 14) have been speciﬁcally designed for ﬁnish operations with this trowel. They will provide a premium surface ﬁnishing capability from your trowel. They should only be used after the concrete has set to the point where the trowel does not sink into the concrete when placed on it.

Figure 14. Finish Blade

Clip-On Float Blades (Optional)

These blades will clip (Figure 15) onto an existing installed blade, allowing your ﬁnisher to ﬂoat on “wet” concrete so that the troweling operation can begin as early as possible.

Figure 16. Float Disk/Pan

Trowel Arm Adjustment Tool (Optional)

If blades show uneven wear patterns or some tend to wear out faster than others, the trowel arms may. need to be adjusted. A special tool is available (Figure 17) that will adjust all of the trowel arms consistently. The Trowel Arm Fixture P/N is 1817.

Ge neral mainten ance practices are cruc ial to the performance and longevity of your trowel. This equipment requires routine cleaning, blade and trowel arm inspection, lubrication and V-belt inspection for wear and damage. Reference Table 5 for scheduled trowel maintenance.

The following procedures, devoted to maintenance, can prevent serious trowel damage or malfunctioning.

Every

50-60 Hrs

Every

200-300 Hrs

Every

2000-2500 Hrs

Also, examine the V-belt and determine if it is "glazed " (hard shiny appearance on the sides of the belt). Either of these two conditions can cause the belt to run hot, which can weaken it and increase the danger of it breaking.

If the V-belt exhibits any of the above wear conditions replace the V-belt immediately

GENERAL CLEANLINESS

Clean the trowel daily. Remove all dust and slurry buildup. If the trowel is steam-cleaned, ensure that lubrication is accomplished AFTER steam cleaning.

GLAZED

ELECTRIC MOTOR

The electric motor bearing is prelubricated, no further lubrication or maintenance is required.

V-BELT

Visually examine the V-belt (Figure 18) and determine if it is full of tiny cracks, frayed, has pieces of rubber missing, is peeling or otherwise damaged.

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 arm lever. This bolt is the contact point of the trowel arm lever to the lower wear plate on the thrust collar. The goal of the adjustment is to promote consistent blade pitch and ﬁnishing quality. Adjustments are made by tightening or loosening the blade pitch adjustment bolt.

Watch for the following indications when determining if blade pitch adjustments are necessary:

2. Pitch the blades as flat as possible. The pitch adjustment bolts (Figure 20) should all barely make contact (0.10 inch max. clearance) with the lower wear plate on the spider. All pitch alignment bolts should be spaced the same distance from the lower wear plate. If one is not making contact, adjustment will be necessary.

3. 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 after adjustment the blades pitch correctly.

• 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?

If it is determined that blade pitch adjustments are required do the following:

1. Place the trowel on a ﬂat, level area free of dirt and debris.

NOTICE

Before any blade pitch adjustments can be made it is essential to have a clean level area free of dirt and debris to test the trowel. Any unlevel spots in the ﬂoor or debris under the trowel blades will give an incorrect perception of adjustment. Ideally, a 5 x 5 ft. (1.5 x 1.5 meter), three-quarter inch (19 mm) thick FLAT steel plate should be used for testing.

4. Blades that are incorrectly adjusted often will not be able to pitch ﬂat. This can occur if the adjusting bolts are raised too high. Conversely, adjusting bolts that are too low will not allow the blades to be pitched high enough for ﬁnishing operations.

5. If, after making blade pitch adjustments the machine is still ﬁnishing poorly, blades, trowel arms, and trowel arm bushings may be suspect and should be looked at for adjustment, wear, or damage.

CHANGING BLADES

It is recommended that ALL the blades on the trowel are changed at the same time. If only one or some of the blades are changed, the machine will not ﬁnish concrete consistently and the machine may wobble or bounce.

Perform the following procedure when changing blades: Please note the blade orientation on the trowel arm before removing.

1. Lift the trowel up, placing blocks under the main guard ring to support it.

2. Remove the bolts and lock washers from all the towel arms, and then remove the blades as shown in Figure 23.

TROWEL ARM LEVER ADJUSTMENT

The easiest and most consistent wASSY. to adjust the trowel arm lever is to use the Trowel Arm Adjustment Fixture (P.N. 1817).

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.

This ﬁxture will allow consistent adjustment of the trowel arm lever. 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 lever without a ﬁxture requires a special talent.

Perform the following procedure when adjusting the trowel arm lever:

PAGE 26 — J36E2 ELECTRIC WALK-BEHIND TROWEL • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (07/24/12)

MAINTENANCE

1. Unscrew the locking bolts on the adjustment ﬁxture and place the trowel arm (lever attached) into the ﬁxture channel as shown in Figure 27.

2. Ensure the ﬁxture arm is in the up position.

3. A thin shim may be required to cover the blade holes on the trowel arm. Make sure to align the trowel adjustment bolt with the ﬁxture adjustment bolt.

BLADE ASSEMBLY

VARIABLE SPEED PULLEY

General Description

A ﬁxed center distance compound drive consists (Figure 29) of one cam stabilized automatic variable pulley, one manually controlled pulley and a standard "V" belt or a variable speed belt.

The speed adjustment is accomplished by turning the leadscrew of the manually controlled pulley. As the faces contract, the belt is forced to a larger diameter in the manual pulley and consequently to a smaller diameter in the automatic pulley.

Compound center distance drives may be "C" mounted, both driving and driven shafts pointed in the same direction, or "Z" mounted, driving and driven shafts opposed.

The manually controlled pulley must be mounted on the driver shaft.

DRIVER PULLEY

1. Lift trowel just enough to slide pan under blades. Lower ﬁnisher onto pan with blades adjacent to Z-Clips.

2. Rotate blades into position under Z-Clips. Ensure that the blades are rotated in the direction of travel when the machine is in operation or use the engine to rotate the blades into position.

3. Attach the blade tie-downs to the far side of the Z-Clip brackets with tie-down knobs as shown in Figure 28.

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:

 Clean all external parts of the trowel with a cloth.

 Cover the trowel and store in a clean, dry place.

MAINTENANCE

ELECTRIC MOTOR INSTALLATION

1. Locate the electric motor so its shaft is offset from the

driven shaft according to the dimension J for "C" mount or dimension L minus J for "Z" mount. Make sure the shafts are parallel.

2. Place both pulleys on the proper shaft and install the

belt with the manually controlled pulley wide open (minimum speed position). It should not be necessaryto use force to mount the pulleys.

If they do not slide on easily, examine the shaft for burrs and check the diameter. The shaft should be of proper size (+.0000-0005). Too loose a ﬁt between pulley bore and the shaft can cause vibration, imbalance and pounding-out of the pulley bore.

3. Align the drive by placing a straight edge along the

outside rim of the automatic pulley and move either pulley axially on its shaft until the belt edge is parallel to the straight edge. See Figure 29.

4. Before starting the drive tighten the set screws and

make sure the torque arm is anchored. Install torque arm guide (anchor) rod through clip on torque arm.

Secure one end of guide rod to a stationary object.

NOTICE

CLEANING: Foreign matter may collect in the moving parts of the pulley causing them to stick or freeze. If this occurs, disassemble the pulley (see section on disassembly) and clean the slide disc bushing and shaft thoroughly with a solvent. After cleaning, relubricate the pulley by wiping a ﬁlm of grease on all bearing surfaces.

DISASSEMBLY

1. Remove the handwheel (Figure 30) from the leadscrew. Screw in the leadscrew until the front disc comes off the shaft.

2. The bearing housing will push the lube seal out of the front disc.

3. The shaft bearing is removed by removing the retaining ring and pushing against the inside end of the leadscrew in an arbor press.

4. Remove the disc bearing by pushing against the outer race of the bearing from the proﬁle end of front disc. Use extreme care in removing the bearings as they

are easily damaged.

NOTICE

Torque arm must be free to slide over guide rod through the full range of speed adjustments.

5. Adjust the tension on the leadscrew by tightening the set screw in the leadscrew nut . If the leadscrew creeps in operation, more tension is necessary.

6. In order to obtain the full ratio of a compound drive, the V-belt should bottom on the manually controlled pulley shaft when it is at the maximum diameter of the automatic pulley.

If practical, a take-up allowance should be provided for on either the driver or driven shaft.

However, the allowable tolerance on belt lengths and the possibility of belt stretch may require an adjustment

of the center distance from that listed.

NOTICE

LUBRICATION: The ﬁxed-center compound drive pulley has oil impregnated sintered bushings on all bearing surfaces and under normal operating conditions will not require lubrication for the life of the pulley. Ball bearings in the manual control are permanently lubed.

NOTICE

Before the parts are removed, they should be line marked so they can be reassembled in the same order.

Reassemble all the parts onto the pulley shaft in the reverse sequence in which they were removed for placement under the arbor press.

Check that all blades are set at the same pitch angle as measured at the spider. A ﬁ eld adjustment tool is available for height adjustment of the trowel arms. (Contact Parts Dept.)

Check the spider assembly for bent trowel arms. If one of the arms is even slightly bent, replace it immediately.

Check ﬁ t of arms in spider. This can be done by moving the trowel arms up and down. If there is more than 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) of travel at the tip of the arm, the spider and arms should be replaced.

Check the ﬂ atness of the thrust collar by rotating it on the spider. If it varies by more than 0.02 inch (0.5 mm) replace the thrust collar.

Check the thrust collar by rocking it on the spider. If it can tilt more than 3/32 inch (2.4 mm) - as measured at the thrust collar O.D., replace the thrust collar.

Check the thrust bearing to see that it is spinning freely. Replace if necessary.

The main output shaft of the gearbox assembly should be checked for straightness. The main shaft must run straight and cannot be more than

0.003"" (0.08 mm) out of round at the spider attachment point.

Check to make sure that both ﬁ ngers of the yoke press evenly on the wear cap. Replace yoke as necessary.

Check to ensure that each blade is adjusted to have the same pitch as all other blades. Adjust per maintenance section in manual.
