(89mm). Trailing edge of blade should be straight and

 

 

parallel to the blade bar.

 

 

 

 

 

Check that all blades are set at the same pitch angle

 

Spider?

as measured at the spider. A fi eld adjustment tool is

 

available for height adjustment of the trowel arms (see

 

 

 

 

Optional Equipment)..

 

 

 

 

Bent trowel arms?

Check the spider assembly for bent trowel arms. If one

Thrust collar bushing?

can tilt more than 1/16"" (1.6 mm) [as measured at the

 

thrust collar O.D.], replace the bushing in the thrust

 

 

 

 

collar.

 

 

 

 

Thrust bearing worn?

Check the thrust bearing to see that it is spinning freely.

 

Replace if necessary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blade pitch?

Check blades for consistent pitch. Adjust per

 

Maintenance Section instructions if necessary.

 

 

 

Spider Finger Screws?

Adjust per procedure in Maintenance Section.

 

 

 

 

Yoke?

Check to make sure that both fi ngers of the yoke press
