Installing Pans Onto Finisher Blades

These round discs sometimes referred to as "pans" attach to the spiders arms and allow early floating on wet concrete and easy movement from wet to dry areas. They are also very effective in embedding large aggregates and surface hardeners.

WARNING

Lifting/Crush Hazard. DO NOT lift trowel with pans attached.

WARNING

ALWAYS install pans either on the work area or on an area that is next to and level with the work area. DO NOT lift the trowel when the pans are attached.

1.Lift trowel just enough to slide pan under blades. Lower finisher onto pan with blades assembly adjacent to Z-Clips.

2.Rotate blades into position under Z-Clips (Figure 45). Ensure that the blades are rotated in the direction of travel when the machine is in operation or use the engine to rotate the blades into position.

Blade

3.Attach the blade tie-downs to the far side of the Z-Clip brackets with tie-down knobs as shown in Figure 45.

4.Check to make certain that the blade edges are secured under the Z-Clips and the tie-downs are secured completely over the edges of the blade bar before the machine is put back into operation.

Checking Hydraulic Steering Pressure

WARNING

NEVER use your hand to find hydraulic leaks. Use a piece of wood or cardboard. Hydraulic fluid injected into the skin must be treated by a knowledgable physician immediately or severe injury or death can occur.

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/test ports (one for each pump) are located beneath the right grill guard (Figure 46).
