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.
