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

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 47 when installing pans onto finisher blades.

Decommissioning is a controlled process used to safely retire a pieceofequipmentthatisnolongerserviceable. Iftheequipment 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 accor- dance with local and governmental regulations. Never pour on ground or dump down drains or sewers.
