SILICOSIS/RESPIRATORY WARNINGS
WARNING
SILICOSIS WARNING RESPIRATORY HAZARDS
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metaland
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, metaland
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 beingused.

Handle Height Adjustment
If handle height adjustment is desired, a handle wedge kit can be
purchased for your trowel by ordering P/N 2576 from your Multiquip
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)

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.

Clip-On Float Blades (Optional)
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.
Float Discs (Optional)
These round discs (Figure 36) 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 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.

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
may be suspect and should be looked at for adjustment, wear, or
damage. See the following sections.
Changing Blades
It is recommended that ALL the blades on the entire machine
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
for direction of rotation.
5. Reinstall the bolts and lock washers.
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.
■
Are blades wearing unevenly? Is one blade 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?
1. Place the trowel in a flat, level area.
A level, clean area to test the trowel prior to and after is essential.
Any unlevel spots in the floor or debris under the trowel blades
will give an incorrect perception of adjustment. Ideally, a 5 x 5
feet(1.5 x 1.5 meter), three-quarter inch (19 mm) thick
steel plate should be used for testing.
2. Pitch the blades as flat as possible. The
should all barely make contact with the

necessary. (Item 1, Figure 39).

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:
