general information

Intended Use

Operate this trowel, tools and components in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Use of any other tools for stated operation is considered contrary to designated use. The risk of such use lies entirely with the user. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages as a result of misuse

Trowel Familiarization

This walk-behind trowel is designed for the floating and finishing of concrete slabs.

Take a walk around the trowel. Take notice of all the major components (Figure 2) like the engine, blades, steering handle, kill switch, gearbox, etc. Check that there is always oil in the engine.

Read all the safety instructions carefully. Safety instructions will be found throughout this manual and on the trowel. Keep all safety information in good, readable condition. Operators should be well trained on the operation and maintenance of the trowel.

Before using your trowel, test it on a flat watered down section of finished concrete that is free of any debris and other objects.

This trial test run will increase your confidence in using the trowel and at the same time it will familiarize you with the trowel’s controls. In addition you will understand how the trowel handles under actual conditions.

Engine

This trowel is equipped with a SUBARU 5.7 HP gasoline engine. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for instructions regarding the operation and maintenance of your engine. Please contact your nearest Multiquip Dealer for a replacement should the original manual disappear or otherwise become unusable.

Drive System

Power is transferred from the engine to the gearbox input shaft via a V-belt pulley drive system. The pulley engages using a centrifugal clutch. See parts section of this manual for a breakdown of the drive system.

Gearbox

The gearbox is located beneath the engine and transfers power to the spider assembly. The gearbox controls the rotational speed of the trowel and is equipped with two shafts (input and output).

Spider

The vertical output shaft of the gearbox connects to a cast hub called the spider. The spider has 4 arms that extend outward that are used for attachment of blades or other accessories. Remember as the gearbox output shaft rotates so does the spider assembly.

Guard Ring

This unit is equipped with a safety guard ring. It is designed to help protect items from coming into contact with the rotating blades while the trowel is in operation.

Blades

The blades of the trowel finish the concrete as they are rotated around the surface. This trowel comes equipped with four combination blades (8 in./203 mm wide) per rotor equally spaced in a radial pattern and attached to a vertical rotating shaft by means of a spider assembly.

CENTRIFUGAL Safety Stop Switch

In the event of a trowel runaway condition (operator releases handlebars during operation), the centrifugal safety stop switch will stop the engine and bring the trowel to a halt

CAUTION

NEVER attempt to lift the trowel by yourself. ALWAYS get the assistance of another person to help lift the trowel.

Training

For proper training, please use the “TRAINING CHECKLIST” form located in the front of this manual. This checklist will provide an outline for an experienced operator to provide training to a new operator.
