Stow SCT36, SCT46 operation manual Combo Blades, Clip-On Float Blades Optional

Blades

Blades should be changed when

NOTE they fail to finish concrete in a satisfactory manner.

Blades are a vital part of finishing concrete. This trowel, or finisher, has been designed to finish concrete and the blades are built to stringent quality standards out of the finest trowel steel. If you need replacement blades, consult your parts list in this manual for part numbers and order them from your Multiquip parts dealer or importer.

Combo Blades

This trowel was equipped with combination float/finish (Figure

25)blades as original equipment. These blades have been designed for optimum performance in both the floating and finishing operations. These blades are versatile and should take care of most troweling needs.

Figure 25. Combination Blade

Finish Blades (Optional)

These blades (Figure 26) have been specifically designed for finish operations with this trowel. They will provide a premium surface finishing capability from your trowel. They should only be used after the concrete has set to the point where the trowel does not sink into the concrete when placed on it.

Clip-On Float Blades (Optional)

These blades will clip on to an existing installed blade, (Figure 27), allowing the finisher to "float" on “wet” concrete so that the troweling operation can begin as early as possible. They can be easily removed, so when the concrete is sufficiently cured, the troweling operation can continue.

Float Discs (Optional)

These round discs (Figure 28) attach to the spiders and allow the machine to “float” on “wet” concrete. The disc design allows early floating and easy movement from wet to dry areas. They are also very effective in embedding large aggregates and surface hardeners.

Trowel Arm Adjustment Tool

If blades show uneven wear patterns or some tend to wear out faster than others, the trowel arms may need to be adjusted. A special tool P/N 1817, (Figure 29) is available that can be used to adjust all of the trowel arms consistently.

See page 33 for Trowel Arm Adjustment procedures using this tool.
