NOTICE

If additional 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” (76 mm).

Throttle Cable Installation (Engine)

1.Uncoil the throttle cable and housing.

2.Feed the throttle cable through the cable housing.

3.Connect the trowel throttle cable to the engine throttle linkage (Figure 6). There should be a piece of wire installed on the trowel to show where to route the throttle cable.

4.Route cable end through the cable locking screw. When connecting the cable housing, make sure that no more than 1/4" (6.4 mm) of the cable housing protrudes past the housing clamp on the engine.
