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.

WARNING

ALWAYS install pans either on the work area or on an area that is next to and level with the work area. DO NOT lift the trowel when the pans are attached.

Refer to Figure 36 when installing pans onto finisher blades.

Figure 36. Z-Clip Finisher Pan Instructions

1.Lift trowel just enough to slide pan under blades. Lower finisher onto pan with blades adjacent to Z-Clips.

2.Rotate blades into position under Z-Clips. Ensure that the blades are rotated in the direction of travel when the machine is in operation or use the engine to rotate the blades into position.

3.Attach the blade tie-downs to the far side of the Z-Clip brackets with tie-down knobs as shown in Figure 36.

4.Check to make certain that the blade edges are secured under the Z-Clips and the tie-downs are secured completely over the edges of the blade bar before the machine is put back into operation.

Decommissioning Trowel/Components

Decommissioning is a controlled process used to safely retire a piece of equipment that is no longer serviceable. If the equipment poses an unacceptable and unrepairable safety risk due to wear or damage or is no longer cost effective to maintain, (beyond life-cycle reliability) and is to be decommissioned, (demolition and dismantlement), the following procedure must take place:

1.Drain all fluids completely. These may include oil, gasoline, hydraulic oil and antifreeze. Dispose of properly in accordance with local and governmental regulations. Never pour on ground or dump down drains or sewers.

2.Remove battery and bring to appropriate facility for lead reclamation. Use safety precautions when handling batteries that contain sulfuric acid, (Reference Setup Section).

3.The remainder can be brought to a salvage yard or metal reclamation facility for further dismantling.
