B-SERIES TROWEL — OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
BLADES
Note: BLADES SHOULD BE CHANGED WHEN THEY FAIL TO FINISH CONCRETE IN A SATISFACTORY MANNER.
Blades are a vital part of finishing concrete.This finisher has been designed to finish concrete and are built to stringent quality standards out of the finest trowel steel. If you need replacement blades, consult your parts list in this manual for part numbers and order them from your Multiquip parts dealer or importer.
Combo Blades
This trowel was equipped with combination FLOAT/FINISH 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.
Finish Blades
These blades 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 machine does not sink into the concrete when placed on it .
Clip-On Float Blades
These blades will clip 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
These round discs 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 quite effective in embedding large aggregates and surface hardeners.
FIELD 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. Multiquip makes a special tool that will adjust all of the trowel arms consistently, Part Number
Shown here is the adjustment fixture with an arm. As each 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. See Blade Pitch Adjustment Procedure in the Maintenance section of this manual for more information.
LIFT BALE
There is a heavy duty, center balance type lifting bale made specifically for your trowel. These bales are ideal for lifting and transporting your trowel. They are designed to lift the finisher and balance it on it’s center of gravity, providing great stability while lifting.
GRINDING ATTACHMENTS
Available grinding attachments are used for grinding surface imperfections or joints.These attachments allow greater utilization of your trowel.
