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.

15. Engine – This trowel uses a Honda or a Robin gasoline
engine.

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.

19. Pre-Load Adjuster (Quick Pitch Handle) – Handle Pre­Load can be adjusted to the specific trowel that the handle

J-36/M-30 TROWEL— BASIC ENGINE

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 manufacturer's 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.

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

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.

NOTE

8. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set
spark plug gap according to engine manufacturer's
instructions. Clean spark plug once a week.

9. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.

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

11. Oil Drain Plug – Remove this plug to remove oil from the
engine's crankcase.

12. Dipstick/Oil Filler Cap – Remove this cap to determine if
the engine oil is low. Add oil through this filler port as
recommended in Table 4.

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.

dealer. These wedges are placed between the handle and the
gearbox to adjust the operating height of the handle. This kit
comes complete with wedges, new bolts and installation
instructions. This will move your operating handle position up or
down approximately 3” (76mm).

Operator Presence Switch Installation (Optional)

Your adjustable handle utilizes an "Operator Presence Switch"
that shuts the engine down once the Operator Presence Lever
is released. To install the lever, switch, and associated wiring,
perform the following procedures:

1. Ensure the handle tube is properly installed onto the
gearbox, handlebars onto the handle tube, and throttle
cable installed according to the instruction sheet provided
with the handle.

2. Connect the Safety Stop Wire from the Safety Stop Switch
to the tail wire on the engine. (Figure 10)

J-36/M-30 TROWEL — OPERATION

Figure 32 below illustrates a typical walk-behind trowel
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.

These blades will clip (Figure 35) 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.

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. A
special tool is available (Figure 37) that will adjust all of the trowel
arms consistently. The Trowel Arm Fixture P/N is 1817.

Blade Pitch Adjustment Procedure

Maintenance adjustment of blade pitch is made by adjusting a
bolt (Figure 38) 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.

Look for the following indications if blades are wearing unevenly.
If so, adjustment may be necessary.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Daily (8-10 Hours)

1. Check the oil level in the engine crankcase and gear box,
fill as necessary.

2. Check V-belt.

Weekly (50-60 Hours)

1. Relube arms, thrust collar and clutch.

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 (200-300 Hours)

1. Remove, clean, reinstall and relube the arms and thrust
collar. Adjust the blade arms.

2. Remove, clean, reinstall clutch.

Yearly (2000-2500 Hours)

1. Check and replace if necessary the arm bushings, thrust
collar bushings and shaft seals.

2. Check pitch control cables for wear.

3. Adjust blade speed.

Figure 38. Blade Pitch Adjustment Bolt

The easiest and most consistent way to make adjustments on
the trowel arm fingers is to use the Trowel Arm Adjustment Fixture
(P/N 9177) . It comes with all the hardware necessary to properly
accomplish this maintenance and instructions on how to utilize
this tool.

If a trowel arm adjustment fixture is not available and immediate
adjustment is necessary, temporary field adjustment can be made
if you can see or feel which blade is pulling harder by adjusting
the bolt that corresponds to that blade.

A better way to determine which blades need adjustment is to
place the machine on a known FLAT surface (steel metal plate)
and pitch the blades as flat as possible. 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.

J-36/M-30 TROWEL — MAINTENANCE

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.

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.

If, after making Blade Pitch adjustments the machine is still
finishing poorly, blades, trowel arms, and trowel arm bushings

Trowel Arm Adjustment

Use the following procedure to check and adjust trowel arms,
and check for worn or damaged components when it becomes
apparent that the trowel is finishing poorly or in need of routine
maintenance.
Look for the following indications. Trowel arm alignment, worn
spider bushings or bent trowel arms may the cause.

damage. See the following sections.

Look at the machine while it is running; do the guard rings

“rock up and down” relative to the ground?

Changing Blades

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.

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.

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

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.

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 45 and 46:

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 of .005" (0.127 mm). Each section should have the
