HPLA/HPHA-SERIES 36"TROWEL — OPTIONS

Blades

NOTE

Blades should be changed when they fail to finish concrete in a satisfactory manner.

Clip-On Float Blades (Optional)

These blades will clip (Figure 33) 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.

Blades are a vital part of finishing concrete. This trowel, or finisher, has been designed to finish concrete and the blades 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 (Figure

31)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.

Float Discs (Optional)

These round discs (Figure 34) 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 very effective in embedding large aggregates and surface hardeners.
