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.

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).
