STX-SERIES — GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

The STX-SERIES Ride-On Power Trowels are designed for the
floating and finishing of concrete slabs.

Take a walk around the STX-SERIES Ride-On Power Trowel.
Take notice of all the entire major components (see Figures 2
and 3, pages 13 and 14) like the engine, blades, air cleaner,
ignition switch etc. Check that there is always oil in the engine,
and hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil reservoir.

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 STX-SERIES Ride-On Power Trowel.

Before using your STX-SERIES 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

Dual palm grip joystick controls located to the left and right of the
operator are provided for steering the STX-SERIES Ride-on
Power Trowel. The joysticks are linked to three hydraulic steering
cylinders located within the frame of the machine. Detailed
explanation of how the joystick controls affect the steering of the
trowel can be found in Table 3, on page 18.

Hydraulic Pump

Delivers a continuous controlled flow of hydraulic fluid to the
hydraulic motors.

The STX-SERIES Ride-On Power Trowel is available with a
standard 55hp John Deere diesel engine. Refer to the engine
owner’s manual for specific instructions regarding engine
operation. Please contact your nearest Multiquip Dealer for a
replacement should the original manual disappear or become
otherwise unusable.

Blades

The blades of the Ride-on Power Trowel finish the concrete as
they are swirled around the surface. Blades are classified as
float (10 or 8 inches wide), and finish (6 inches wide). The STX­SERIES is equipped with six blades per rotor equally spaced in
a radial pattern and attached to vertical rotating shaft by means

of a

Hydraulic Motor

Independent hydrostatic drive motors are coupled to the engine­powered hydrostatic pumps. Each motor drives a spider
assembly.

Moving the Ride-On Trowel

The STX-SERIES Ride-on Power Trowel is designed to be moved
and handled several ways. The easiest way to lift the ride-on
trowel is to utilize the lift loops that are welded to the frame.
These lift loops are located to the left and right sides of the
operator’s seat (Figure 2, Page 13).

A strap or chain can be attached to these lift loops, allowing a
forklift or crane to lift the Ride-on Power Trowel up onto a slab of
concrete. The strap or chain should have a minimum 2,000
pounds (1000-kg) lifting capacity and the lifting gear must be
capable of lifting at least this amount.

STX-SERIES — OPERATION

1. The foot pedal (Figure 13) solely controls blade speed.
The position of the foot pedal determines the blade speed.
Slow blade speed is obtained by slightly depressing the
pedal. Maximum blade speed is obtained by fully
depressing the pedal.

5. Practice maneuvering the Ride-on Power Trowel using the
information listed in Table 3. Try to practice controlled
motions as if you were finishing a slab of concrete. Practice
edging and covering a large area

6. Try adjusting the pitch of the blades. This can be done with
the ride-on trowel stopped or while the trowel is moving,
whatever feels comfortable. Test the operation of optional
equipment like retardant spray and lights if equipped.

7. Pull both the left and right joysticks backward (Figure 15)
and repeat steps 3 through 6 while substituting the word
reverse for forward.

Trowel Speed Limiter Control

The speed limiter control located on the control panel (Figure

16) can be used to adjust the maximum trowel speed that can be

obtained when the foot pedal is fully depressed. Pull up to reduce
the maximum speed and push down to return to full speed. For
fine adjustments, rotate the knob clockwise or counter-clockwise.

in a forward direction. Release both joystick controls to
stop forward movement then remove your right foot from
the foot pedal.

4. Practice holding the machine in one place as you increase
blade speed. When about 75% of maximum blade speed
has been reached, the blade will be moving at proper
finishing speed. The machine may be difficult to keep in
one place. Trying to keep the ride-on trowel stationary is a
good practice for operation.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Checking/Adjusting Trowel Speed

Because the two hydraulic drive motors operate independent of
each other, the trowel speed between them may vary. If the unit’s
steering is difficult to control, or if one spider is spinning noticeably
faster or slower than the other, the trowel speed may need to be
checked. It is also recommended that the trowel speed be
checked at least once a year.

Trowel speed adjustment is a two-step process. First, the left
side should be checked and/or adjusted. Second, the right side
should be adjusted to match the left.

Left Side Trowel Speed Adjustment

The left side trowel speed is adjusted by the set bolt located
under the operator's platform (Item A, Figure 20) and accessed
by opening the storage panel door. Backing the set screw out
decreases the left side trowel speed; screwing it inward increases
the speed.

Right Side Trowel Speed Adjustment

The right side trowel speed is adjusted by changing the length
of the connecting rod on the pump actuation levers (Figure 21).

Figure 20. Trowel Speed Control

STX-SERIES • RIDE-ON POWER TROWEL — OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #1 (07/16/04) — PAGE 21

/02) — PAGE 21

STX-SERIES — MAINTENANCE

This rod is basically a turnbuckle (Figure 22). Rotating it in one
direction increases the length and corresponding trowel speed.
Rotating it the opposite direction decreases the length and trowel
speed. The right side trowel speed should be within 3 rpm of the
left.

Matching Blade Pitch for Both Sets of Blades

Sometimes it may be necessary to match blade pitch between
the left and right sets of blades. There are some signs that this
may be necessary. For example, the differences in pitch can
cause a noticeable difference in finish quality between the left
and right sets of blades. The difference in blade pitch can also
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).

To synchronize pitch on both sides, the left blade assembly can
be pitched by itself. By using the electric blade pitch rocker
switches, (Figure 23) the pitch can be syncronized on the left
and the right sides.

A good starting point in the adjustment process is to adjust the
rod such that both trowels begin to rotate at the same time when
the foot pedal is slowly depressed. This will, generally, get the
speeds fairly close; close enough for use if instrumentation is
unavailable (i.e. on the job site). From this point on, some form of
instrumentation is required to verify that the trowel speeds are
within tolerance. A strobe or magnetic pickup type speed indicator
is recommended to verify the speeds.

The trowel speeds should be adjusted on a dry concrete floor
with the blades pitched flat. Units with the John Deere

Blade Pitch Adjustment Procedure

The maintenance adjustment of blade pitch is an adjustment
that is made by a bolt (Figure 24) 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.

Watch for the following indications when determining if blade

pitch adjustments are necessary:
turbocharged engine should be set at 130-135 RPM with the
engine at full speed.

■

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?

PAGE 22 — STX-SERIES • RIDE-ON POWER TROWEL — OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #1 (07/16/04)

)

STX-SERIES — MAINTENANCE

Adjustments are made by tightening or loosening the blade pitch
adjustment bolt (Figure 24).

3. Trowel Lever

4. Trowel Arm

5. Trowel Blade

The easiest and most consistent way to make this adjustment is
to use the Trowel Arm Adjustment Fixture (P.N. 9177) that is
manufactured by Whiteman Industries. 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.

Changing A Blade

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 at one time, 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. (Access is easier if the steps are
removed.)

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. Affix the bolts and lock washers.

6. Torque to 9 ft. lbs.

7. Repeat steps 2-6 for all remaining blades.

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. 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.

Checking Hydraulic Pressure

Many hydraulic problems are a result of low fluid levels. Before
checking any other possibilities, make sure the hydraulic fluid
level is up to the top of the sight glass which is located at the
back/center of the frame.

Hydrostatic pressure can be checked using a pressure gauge
with a range of at least 5,000 psi. Two male diagnostic quick
couplers (one for each pump) are located beneath the right grill
guard. To access couplers (Item B, Figure 26), remove the grill
guard. It is best to use two gauges simultaneously (Figure 25),
but it is possible to use only one gauge and repeat the procedure
for each side.

To fully test the hydrostatic system, the spiders will need to be
locked so that they cannot rotate. This can be done by wrapping
a chain around an arm on each spider, thus chaining them

Once the pressure gauges are installed and the spiders chained
together, the system can be checked.

With the foot pedal in the idle position and the engine at full
speed, the pressure should be 200 to 300 psi. If the pressure is
less than 200 psi, the charge system may need to be inspected
and/ or serviced. In particular, the suction filter and charge pump
relief valve should be checked. The suction filter may be plugged,
or the relief valve may be stuck. Either condition may cause low
charge pressure.

With the engine at 50% to 70% of full speed, and spiders chained
together, slowly depress the foot pedal and read the gauges.
The pressure should get to at least 4,350 psi (300 bar). If the
pressure will not attain 4,350 psi (300 bar), the pump should be
inspected and/or serviced by an authorized service
representative.

(Table 4) indicates proper steering pressure. Check with engine
at Full Speed.

Run the engine at full RPM. The steering system's factory setting
is as shown in Table 4, however some operators may prefer a
more responsive steering (higher pressure required) and some
operators may prefer a "softer feel" (lower pressure required).

Steering Pressure Adjustment

Remember, DO NOT depress the foot pedal with the 300-600
PSI gauge installed. Immediate damage to the gauge will occur.

1. Remove right grill guard.

2. Install 300 or 600 PSI gauge (Figure 27).

3. Loosen 1-1/16" jam nut on charge relief valve (Item A,
