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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

INTENDED USE

Operate this trowel, tools and components in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Use of any other tools for stated operation is considered contrary to designated use. The risk of such use lies entirely with the user. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages as a result of misuse

TROWEL FAMILIARIZATION

This walk-behind trowel is designed for the ﬂoating and ﬁnishing of concrete slabs.

Take a walk around the trowel. Take notice of all the major components (Figure 2) like the engine, blades, steering handle, kill switch, gearbox, etc. Check that there is always oil in the engine.

Read all the safety instructions carefully. Safety instructions will be found throughout this manual and on the trowel. Keep all 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.

GEARBOX

The gearbox is located beneath the engine and transfers power to the spider assembly. The gearbox controls the rotational speed of the trowel and is equipped with two shafts (input and output).

SPIDER

The vertical output shaft of the gearbox connects to a cast hub called the spider. The spider has 4 arms that extend outward that are used for attachment of blades or other accessories. Remember as the gearbox output shaft rotates so does the spider assembly.

GUARD RING

This unit is equipped with a safety guard ring. It is designed to help protect items from coming into contact with the rotating blades while the trowel is in operation.

BLADES

The blades of the trowel ﬁnish the concrete as they are rotated around the surface. This trowel comes equipped with four combination blades (8 in./203 mm wide) per rotor equally spaced in a radial pattern and attached to a vertical rotating shaft by means of a spider assembly.

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.

ENGINE

This trowel is equipped with a SUBARU 5.7 HP gasoline engine. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for instructions regarding the operation and maintenance of your engine. Please contact your nearest Multiquip Dealer for a replacement should the original manual disappear or otherwise become unusable.

DRIVE SYSTEM

Power is transferred from the engine to the gearbox input shaft via a V-belt pulley drive system. The pulley engages using a centrifugal clutch. See parts section of this manual for a breakdown of the drive system.

CENTRIFUGAL

In the event of a trowel runaway condition (operator releases handlebars during operation), the centrifugal safety stop switch will stop the engine and bring the trowel to a halt

CAUTION

NEVER attempt to lift the trowel by yourself. ALWAYS get the assistance of another person to help lift the trowel.

SAFETY STOP SWITCH

TRAINING

For proper training, please use the “TRAINING CHECKLIST” form located in the front of this manual. This checklist will provide an outline for an experienced operator to provide training to a new operator.

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 31 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.

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

36) 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.

Clip-On Float Blades (Optional)

These blades will clip (Figure 38) onto an existing installed blade, allowing your ﬁnisher to ﬂoat on “wet” concrete so that the troweling operation can begin as early as possible. 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 38. Clip-On Float Blade

Float Discs (Optional)

These round discs (Figure 39) 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 36. Combination Blade

Finish Blades (Optional)

These blades (Figure 37) 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 37. Finish Blade

Figure 39. Float Disk/Pan

NOTICE

For optimum panning performance blade speed must be changed. Use Low Speed Kit. Reference Engine Assembly in parts section of this manual.

MAINTENANCE

Ge neral maintenance practices are crucial 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 and Table 6 for scheduled engine and trowel maintenance.

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

NOTICE

Reference HONDA engine manual supplied with your trowel for more detailed engine maintenance and troubleshooting.

CAUTION

ALWAYS allow the engine to cool before

servicing. NEVER attempt any maintenance work on a hot engine.

CAUTION

ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark

plug and secure away from the engine before performing maintenance or adjustments on the machine.

Engine Air Cleaner

DANGER

DO NOT use gasoline or low ﬂash point

solvents for cleaning the air cleaner, the possibility exists of ﬁre or explosion which can cause damage to the equipment and severe bodily harm or even DEATH!

CAUTION

Wear protective equ ipment such as approved safety glasses or face shields and dust masks or respirators when cleaning air ﬁlters with compressed air.

This engine is equipped with a replaceable, high-density paper air cleaner element. See Figure 42 for air cleaner components.

1. Remove the air cleaner cover and foam ﬁlter element.

2. Tap the paper ﬁlter element several times on a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air not exceeding 30 psi (207 kPa, 2.1 kgf/cm2) through the ﬁlter element from the inside out. NEVER brush off dirt. Brushing will force dirt into the ﬁbers. Replace the paper ﬁlter element if it is excessively dirty.

WARNING

Some maintenance operations may require the engine to be run. Ensure that the maintenance area is well ventilated. Gasoline engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can cause unconsciousness and may result in DEATH

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.

ENGINE CHECK

Check daily for any oil and/or fuel leakage, thread nut and bolt tightness, and overall cleanliness.

3. Clean foa m e lement in warm, soapy water or nonﬂammable solvent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Dip the element in clean engine oil and completely squeeze out the excess oil from the element before installing.

SPARK ARRESTER CLEANING

Clean the spark arrester every 6 months or 100 hours.

1. Remove the 4 mm screw (3) from the exhaust deﬂector, then remove the deﬂector. See Figure 46

2. Remove the 5 mm screw (4) from the mufﬂer protector, then remove the mufﬂer protector.

3. Remove the 4 mm screw from the spark arrestor, then remove the spark arrester.

BLADE PITCH ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

The maintenance adjustment of blade pitch is an adjustment that is made by a bolt (Figure 48) 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.

Figure 47. Cleaning The Spark Arrester

5. If the spark arrester is damaged and has breaks or holes, replace with a new one.

6. Reinstall the spark arrester and mufﬂer protector in reverse order of disassembly.

• 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.

PAGE 32 — J36S60 WALK-BEHIND TROWEL • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #1 (01/23/13)

MAINTENANCE

2. Pitch the blades as flat as possible. The pitch adjustment bolts (Figure 49) 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.

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.

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 52.

TROWEL ARM REMOVAL

1. Each trowel arm is held in place at the spider plate by a hex head bolt (zerk grease ﬁtting) and a roll pin. Remove both the hex head bolt and the roll pin (Figure 53) from the spider plate.

2. Remove the trowel arm from the spider plate.

3. Should the trowel arm inserts ( bushing ) come out with the trowel arm, remove the bushing from the trowel arm and set aside in a safe place. If the bushing is retained inside the spider plate, carefully remove the bushing

4. Examine the trowel arm bushing insert (Figure 53), clean if necessary. Replace bushing if out of round or worn.

MAINTENANCE

CHECKING TROWEL ARM STRAIGHTNESS

Trowel arms (Figure 54) 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:

TROWEL ARM LEVER ADJUSTMENT

The easiest and most consistent way 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:

1. Unscrew the locking bolts on the adjustment ﬁxture and place the trowel arm (lever attached) into the ﬁxture channel as shown in Figure 56.

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

2. Check each of the six sides of the trowel arm (hex section). A feeler gauge of .004 inch (0.10 mm) should not pass between the ﬂat of the trowel arm and the test surface along its length on the test surface.

3. Next, check the clearance between the round shaft and 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 (Figure 56) of .005 inch (0.127 mm). Each section should have the same clearance between the round of the trowel arm shaft and the test surface.

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.

4. Use an allen wrench to tighten the locking bolts securing the trowel arm in place.

5. Adjust the bolt distance shown in Figure 56 to match one of the arms. The other arms will be adjusted to match this distance.

4. If the trowel arm is found to be uneven or bent, replace the trowel arm.

J36S60 WALK-BEHIND TROWEL • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #1 (01/23/13) — PAGE 35

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

MAINTENANCE

7. Once the correct adjustment is made, tighten the lock nut on the trowel arm to lock in place.

8. Loosen locking nuts on the adjustment ﬁxture, and remove trowel arm.

9. Repeat steps for the remaining trowel arms.

REASSEMBLY

1. Clean and examine the upper/lower wear plates and thrust collar. Examine the entire spider assembly. Wire brush any concrete or rust buildup. 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 damaged 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.

13. Lubricate all grease points (zerk ﬁttings) with premium "Lithum 12" based grease, conforming to NLG1 Grade #2 consistency.

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.

Refer to Figure 57 when installing pans onto ﬁnisher blades.

BLADE ASSEMBLY

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 bolt with zerk grease ﬁtting and jam nut.

8. Reinstall the blades onto the trowel arms.

9. Install stabilizer ring onto spider assembly.

10. Reinstall lower wear plate, thrust collar and upper wear ring in the reverse order that they were disassembled onto the spider shaft. Make sure that there is little or no lateral movement between the thrust collar and the spider shaft.

11. Carefully lift the upper trowel assembly, line up the keyway on gear box main shaft and insert into spider assembly.

12. Reinstall square head cone point into spider plate and tighten in place. Tighten jam nut. Use care in making sure point of set screw engages groove in gear box main shaft.

Figure 57. Z-Clip Finisher Pan Installation

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 57.

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.
