Before the trowel can be put into operation there are some
components that must be installed before the trowel can
be used. This section provides general instructions on how
to install those components. Instruction sheet P/N 20485
provides further details for the handle assembly.

13. Attach the main handle (tube) to the gearbox as shown
in (Figure 4). The mounting hardware should be
contained in the shipping container.

Throttle Cable Installation (engine)

1. Uncoil the throttle cable and housing.
2. Feed the throttle cable through the cable housing.
3. Connect the trowel throttle cable to the engine
throttle linkage (Figure 6). There should be a piece of
wire installed on the trowel to show where to route the
throttle cable.
4. Route cable end through the cable locking screw.
When connecting the cable housing, make sure that
no more than 1/4" (6.4 mm) of the cable housing
protrudes past the housing clamp on the engine.

5. Tighten cable clamp screw.
6. After the trowel throttle cable has been connected to
the engine throttle linkage, adjust and tighten operator
position of the T-bar handle to lock the throttle cable at
the proper length.
NOTICE
If additional handle height adjustment is desired, a
handle wedge kit can be purchased for your trowel by
ordering P/N 2576 from your Multiquip dealer.
These wedges are placed between the handle and the
gearbox to adjust the operating height of the handle.
This kit comes complete with wedges, new bolts and
installation instructions. This will move your operating
handle position up or down approximately 3” (76 mm).
