Remove one brass nut from the cable end. Thread the second brass nut towards the cable as far as possible (Step 3). Insert the cable end into the yoke as shown. Replace the brass set nut on the cable end. Tighten the set nut by hand as far as possible to remove slack from the cable (Step 4). Using a wrench, tighten the locking nut on the other side of the boss to lock the cable in place

(Step 5).

second bolt carries the auxiliary lift handle bracket in the place of a washer.

After the handle is connected to the trowel, grasp the QUICK

PITCH control from operator’s position. Pull the adjustment trigger on the QUICK PITCH handle and push the entire handle towards the engine as far as possible (Step 2). This will compress the spring inside the handle. Considerable force may be required to do this! Release the trigger to lock the spring in this compressed position.

PAGE 8 — B-SERIES TROWEL — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #1 (12/03/01)

B-SERIES TROWEL — INSTRUCTIONS

Preload adjustment for QUICK PITCH

After the handle is installed on the machine, spring preload adjustment will be required. Locate the adjustment screw on the underside of the handle. A decal has been placed there to assist in the adjustment. Turn the screw to adjust until it lines up with the arrow on the decal matching your setup. Test pitch control operation.

Adjust if necessary.

Remove one brass nut from the cable end. Thread the second brass nut towards the cable as far as possible. Insert the cable end into yoke as shown in the QUICK PITCH installation. Replace the brass set nut on the cable end. Tighten the set nut by finger as far as possible to remove slack from the cable. Using a wrench, tighten the locking nut on the other side of the boss to lock the cable in place.

SAFETY KILL WIRE

If you want to be able to increase the blade pitch using less arm force, adjust the block away from the gearbox. Be aware, this will also require more force to decrease the blade pitch. If you want to be able to decrease the blade pitch using less arm force, adjust the block toward the gearbox.

HANDLE ASSEMBLY — STANDARD HANDLE

Turn the pitch adjustment knob (located on the operator end of the handle) counter-clockwise until resistance is felt.

Attach the handle tube to gearbox as shown in the QUICK PITCH handle installation. Bolts are to be inserted from the bottom side of the handle. Note that the bolt on the engine side must have a washer between the gearbox and the nut. The second bolt carries the auxiliary lift handle bracket in the place of a washer.

Locate the red wire protruding from the handle tube and connect it to the red wire tail on the engine. Test to insure proper operation!

HANDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

If handle height adjustment is desired, a handle wedge kit can be purchased for your machine by ordering Part Number 2576 from your Multiquip dealer. These wedges are placed between the handle and the gearbox to adjust the operating height of the handle. This kit comes complete with wedges, new bolts and installation instructions. This will move your operating handle position up or down approximately 3” (76mm).

THROTTLE CABLE INSTALLATION

Note: A red wire piece has been placed on the engine throttle assembly to show where the throttle cable from your handle should be placed.

B-SERIES TROWEL — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #0 (12/03/01) — PAGE 9

General Instructions

Set the throttle lever to the idle position by pushing it away from the operator’s position towards the engine (counter clockwise from the top- Step 1). Loosen the screw that crimps the throttle cable to allow free movement of throttle cable (Step 2).

B-SERIES TROWEL — INSTRUCTIONS

Connect the throttle cable to the engine. Keep in mind there should be a piece of wire installed on the machine to show you where to route the throttle cable. When connecting the cable housing, make sure that no more than 1/4" (6.4mm) of the cable housing protrudes past the housing clamp on the engine (Step 4).

After the cable has been installed on the engine, tighten the clamp on the throttle control, operator position of the handle to lock the throttle cable at the proper length.

These are general instructions. Installation of the throttle cable may vary for different engine configurations. Please look for more detailed instructions inside the box containing the handle. These more detailed instructions should provide adequate guidance for installing.

On Robin engines, the hook on the engine end of the throttle wire must be removed. Make the cut as shown (Step 3). The rest of the engine will not require this modification to the throttle cable.

B-SERIES TROWEL — INSTRUCTIONS

Handling

Machine is heavy and awkward to move around.

Use proper heavy lifting procedures and DO

NOT LIFT THE MACHINE BY GUARD RINGS.

Moving the Machine

Auxiliary Lifting Tube

Remove the auxiliary lifting tube located on top of the main handle.

Insert the tube into the socket located on the opposite side of the gearbox from the handle. Make sure that the hole in the tube engages with the pin in the socket. With one person lifting from the main handle, and another lifting from the auxiliary lifting tube pick up the machine to move it, as shown in the following diagram.

Machine Operations

CONTROLS

Safety Kill Switches

Your finisher has been equipped with a safety kill switch or a hand operated clutch. Safety kill switches should be tested every time the engine is started.

Note: NEVER disable or disconnect the kill switch. It is provided for operator safety. Injury may result if it is disable, disconnected or improperly maintained.

Centrifugal Type

This is a red switch located on the main handle tube. The switching mechanism should operate freely and should be kept in this condition. With the switch in the OFF position, the engine should not start or run. The purpose of this switch is to stop the engine in a runaway situation, (i.e.-the operator releasing the handle during operation).

Caution! The machine must be stabilized by the person carrying the operator’s handle. If it is not stabilized properly by this person it will rotate upside down.

Lift Bale

The lift bale is optional on new machines. It provides an optimal lift point for moving the finisher. Lift bales can be used to lift a machine up onto a building with a crane. They can also be used to lift a machine up onto a slab with a forklift machine. Using a crane to move a machine with a lift bale is highly recommended, and is perfectly safe for the machine. Extra care should be taken when lifting the machine off the ground, though. Serious damage to the machine or personal injury could be caused by dropping a finisher. See “Optional Equipment” in this manual for ordering information.

Hand Clutch

Some finisher models are equipped with a hand operated clutch.

These units are not equipped with a safety kill switch since the unit automatically stops rotating when the clutch lever is released.

Clutch operation should be tested each time the machine is started.

Do not let the machine sit unused with the engine at high speed for an extended period of time. It will cause premature belt wear or may destroy the belt. Always set the engine speed to idle when the hand clutch is disengaged.

B-SERIES TROWEL — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #0 (12/03/01) — PAGE 11

B-SERIES TROWEL — INSTRUCTIONS

Blade Pitch — Standard Handle

The pitch control on machines equipped with the standard handle is a big star-wheel knob located at the operator end of the main handle tube. Pitch is controlled by turning the knob. Clockwise for increased blade pitch, counter-clockwise for decreased blade pitch.

Engine Operation

Check the oil level before starting the engine.

Because of the number of engine options, please refer to engine owner’s manual for specific instructions regarding engine operation.

Blade Pitch — QUICK PITCH™ handle

Pitch is controlled on machines with this option by a T-shaped lever located on the top of the main handle tube. To change the blade pitch, pull the locking control up to the T-handle. Pulling the handle towards the operator will increase blade pitch. Pushing the handle away from the operator will decrease the blade pitch.

See page 8 for adjustment.

Electric Control Switch (electric motors only)

Located on the control handle, this switch transfers power to the electric motor when grasped.

Electric On-Off Switch (electric motors only)

Located on the handle, it is the main power control switch.

Gearbox Oil Level

Check the gearbox oil level daily.

Check the gearbox oil level by removing the plug located on the side of the gearbox. It will be clearly marked by the “check” decal (see Machine

Decals section). Take care when removing plugs on the gearbox, there are two of them. Removal of the bottom-most plug (DRAIN PLUG) will drain the oil. The level should be up to the bottom of the fill plug hole, located approximately half way up the side of the gear box. If needed, refill with specifically formulated gearbox lubricant (P>N> 10139) or ISO 680 oil.

Operation

The following steps are intended as a basic guide to machine operation, and are not to be considered a complete guide to concrete finishing. We suggest that all operators (experienced and novice) read “Slabs on Grade” published by the American

Concrete Institute, Detroit, Michigan. Read the “Training” section of this manual for more information.

1. Check oil levels in the engine and gearbox.

2. Check to make sure that the fuel control valve is on and fuel is in the tank.

3. Set safety kill switch (if equipped with centrifugal type clutch) to ON position.

4. Set throttle to idle position.

PAGE 12 — B-SERIES TROWEL — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #1 (12/03/01)

B-SERIES TROWEL — INSTRUCTIONS

NEVER start the engine with the throttle above the idle position.

5. Grasp the control handle with left hand. Pull slowly on starter rope until resistance is felt, then pull briskly to start the engine. If the engine fails to start after several tries, consult the engine owner’s manual.

6. After the engine starts, let it warm up by idling for a few minutes.

7. Test the safety kill switch. If you have the centrifugal type clutch, try momentarily switching the kill switch to the OFF position. If your safety kill switch is working properly, the engine on your finisher should stop.

8. Get into the operator’s position behind the handle. With a secure foothold and a firm grasp on the handles slowly increase the engine speed until the desired blades speed is obtained. If your finisher has a hand clutch, set your engine speed with the throttle, then pull on the hand clutch lever to start the blades. Adjust the blade speed after the hand clutch is fully engaged.

9. To maneuver the machine, gently lift up on or press down on the main trowel handle. To move the machine to the operator’s left-lift up on the handle, to move machine to the right-push down on the handle.

10. The best method for finishing concrete is to slowly walk backwards with the machine, guiding the machine from side to side as you do so. See the diagram in than "Suggested Training

Checklist” at the end of this manual.

Always look behind you to avoid hazards before moving backwards.

Cleanup

NEVER allow concrete to harden on the power trowel.

Immediately after use, wash any concrete off your trowel with water. Be careful not to spray water on the engine. An old paintbrush or broom may help loosen any concrete that has started to harden.

Coat the blades and blade arms with diesel fuel after cleaning.

This should help prevent rusting and allow for easier cleanup in the future.

Maintenance (Service, Adjustment and Repair)

Note: See the engine manual supplied with your machine for appropriate engine maintenance schedule.

There is a “Daily Preoperation Check List” at the end of this manual . Please feel free to make copies of it and use it on a daily basis.

Maintenance Schedule

Daily (8-10 Hours)

Check the fluid levels in the engine and gearbox.

Weekly (50-60 Hours)

Relube arms, thrust collar and clutch.

Replace the blades if necessary.

Check and clean or replace the engine air filter as necessary.

Monthly (200-300 Hours)

Remove, clean, reinstall and relube the arms, thrust collar and clutch.

Adjust the blade arms.

Yearly (2000-2500 Hours)

Check and replace if necessary the arm bushings, thrust collar bushings, shaft seals and belts.

Check pitch control cable for wear.

SERVICE PROCEDURES

Checking Belt Tension

The first indication of belt wear is a reduced blade speed despite the engine running at full speed. Inspect belts often for signs of damage or excessive wear.

There is no method for manual adjustment of belt tension.

Excessively worn belts must be replaced.

Blade Pitch Adjustment Procedure

The maintenance adjustment of blade pitch is an adjustment that is made by a bolt on the arm of the trowel blade finger. This bolt is the contact point of the trowel arm to the lower wear plate on the spider. The goal of adjustment is to promote consistent blade pitch.

There are some things to look for when checking to see if adjustment is necessary. Is the machine wearing out blades unevenly (i.e. one blade is completely worn out while the others look new)? Does the machine have a perceptible rolling motion?

Look at the machine while it is running, do the guard rings “rock up and down” relative to the ground? These are some indications that the blade pitch needs to be adjusted.

B-SERIES TROWEL — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #0 (12/03/01) — PAGE 13

B-SERIES TROWEL — INSTRUCTIONS

The easiest way to make this adjustment is to use the Trowel Arm

Adjustment Fixture, Part Number 1817 (pictured below). This fixture will allow consistent adjustment of the trowel arm fingers.

It comes with all the hardware necessary to properly accomplish this maintenance and instructions on how to properly utilize this tool. Adjusting the trowel arm fingers without a fixture requires a special talent.

If a trowel arm adjustment fixture is not available and immediate adjustment is necessary , we suggest the following procedure. If you can see or feel which blade is pulling harder, adjust the bolt that corresponds to that blade. Another way to determine which blades need adjusting is to place the machine on a flat surface and pitch the blades as flat as possible. Now, look at the adjustment bolts. They should all barely make contact with the lower wear plate on the spider. If you can see that one os them is not making contact, some adjustment will be necessary.

It is possible to either adjust the “high” bolts down to the level of the one that is not touching, or adjust the “low” bolt up to the level of the higher ones. Verify that after adjustment, the blades will pitch correctly. Often times, if the blades are incorrectly adjusted, they will not be able to pitch flat. This is due to the adjusting bolts being raised too high. Conversely, some times the adjusting bolts are too low and the blades cannot be pitched enough.

Changing a Blade

It is recommended that all the blades be changed at the same time.

The machine may wobble or bounce if only some of the blades are changed at one time.

1. Place the machine on a flat, level surface. Adjust the blade pitch control to make the blades as flat as possible. Note the blade orientation on the trowel arm.

2. Remove the bolts and lock washers on the trowel arm, then remove the blade.

3. Scrape all concrete particles from the trowel arm.

4. Install the new blade, maintaining the proper orientation for direction of rotation.

5. Affix the bolts and lock washers.

6. Repeat steps 2-6 for all of the remaining blades.

Hand Clutch Adjustment

Some finishers are equipped with a hand-operated clutch instead of an automatic centrifugal clutch. Two types of hand clutches have been installed. Both are belt-tightener type clutches. They operate by removing slack in the V-belt which then transmits power from the engine to the gearbox.

There are two reasons to adjust the hand clutch: 1) operator comfort; 2) initial belt stretch and break-in.

The easiest and most simple adjustment is to adjust the clutch cable housing using the adjusting nut located on the clutch lever.

Rotating the nut provides either more or less (depending upon the direction of rotation) clutch engagement.

Always check to verify that the clutch will properly disengage!

For operator comfort: start the trowel following the instruction given earlier in this manual. Move the throttle lever so that the engine is running about 1/4 to 1/3 of full speed. Grip the trowel handle firmly and carefully engage the clutch by squeezing the clutch lever toward the handle with your left hand. After the trowel is stabilized and you feel comfortable with its operation, use your right hand to adjust the housing adjustment nut. Rotating the nut so that it backs out of the lever housing increases the engagement and also the squeezing force required to keep it engaged. Too much squeezing force may cause premature hand fatigue. Too little squeezing force may cause belt slippage and premature belt wear. Each operator should experiment with the adjustment to get the optimum combination of squeeze force and belt grip.

After initial break-in (approximately 8 hours) the above procedure should be repeated to attain optimum operator comfort and belt wear.

After considerable belt wear, the adjustments mentioned above may have a little or no effect on clutch engagement. If this is the case, the belt should be replaced.

B-SERIES TROWEL — TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING

SYMPTOM POSSIBLE PROBLEM SOLUTION

Engine running rough or not at all.

Kill switch off or malfunctioning? Make sure that the kill switch is on or replace switch if necessary.

Other problems? Consult engine manufacture’s manual.

Safety kill switch not functioning.

Loose wire connections? Check wiring. Replace switch if necessary.

Bad contacts? Replace switch.

Clutch slipping or sluggish response to engine speed change.

Worn belts? Replace.

Dirty centrifugal clutch? Disassemble and clean the clutch.

Worn out centrifugal clutch? Replace entire clutch.

Hand clutch out of adjustment? Adjust as per instructions in Maintenance section.

Worn hand clutch parts? Replace parts as necessary.

Worn bearings in gearbox? Rotate input shaft by hand. If it rotates with difficulty check the input and output shaft bearings. Replace if necessary.

Worn or broken gears in gearbox? Check in particular to verify that the gearbox output shaft rotates when the input shaft is rotated.

Replace both worm and worm gear as a set.

If trowel “bounces, rolls concrete, or makes uneven swirls in concrete”.

Blades? Make certain blades are in good condition, not excessively worn. Finish blades should measure no less than 2" (50 mm) from the blade bar to the trailing edge, combo blades should measure no less than 3-1/2" (89mm). Trailing edge of blade should be straight and parallel to the blade bar.

Spider? Check that all blades are set at the same pitch angle as measured at the spider. A field adjustment tool is available for height adjustment of the trowel arms (see Optional Equipment section).

Bent trowel arms? Check the spider assembly for bent trowel arms. If one of the arms is even slightly bent, replace immediately.

Trowel arm bushings? Check the trowel arm bushing for tightness. This can be done by moving the trowel arms up and down. If there is more than 1/8" (3.2mm) of travel at the tip of the arm, the bushings should be replaced. All bushings should be replaced at the same time.

Thrust collar? Check the flatness of the thrust collar by rotating it on the spider. If it varies by more than 0.02" (0.5mm) replace the thrust collar.

Thrust collar bushings? Check the thrust collar by rocking it on the spider. If it tilts more than 1/16" (1.6mm) (as measured at the thrust collar O.D.), the bushing in the thrust collar should be replaced.

Thrust bearing worn? Check the thrust bearing to see that it is spinning free and has not worn into the thrust cap. Replace if necessary.

Machine has a perceptible rolling motion while running.

Main shaft? The main output shaft of the gearbox assembly should be checked for straightness. The main shaft must run straight and cannot be more than 0.003" (0.08mm) out of round at the spider attachment point.

Blade pitch? Check blades for consistent pitch. Adjust per Maintenance section instructions if necessary.

Operator Training

SUGGESTED TRAINING

Note: ONLY QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED PERSONNEL

SHOULD OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT

Before taking your new equipment to the job site for it’s first use, there are a few things that should be considered before operation.

Handling

Know how to transport your trowel properly. Keep in mind that you will need to place your trowel on a slab of concrete in the middle of construction area. How will you accomplish this? Do you need any special equipment for lifting or transport? These are questions that you should be able to answer.

Operation

Perhaps it would be wise to familiarize yourself with machine operation before placing your machine on a slab. It would of use to understand how your trowel will behave and how it is controlled. The best way to do this is to test run your machine.

To test run your machine, place it on a flat piece of existing finished concrete. Before starting the machine, make sure that the area around the machine is clear of any obstructions and people. Test running your machine will give a good idea as to how the machine will operate under normal conditions. Keep in mind that running a machine on dry concrete could wear your blades at an accelerated rate.

Training Checklist

For proper operator training please use the attached sheet

OPERATOR TRAINING CHECKLIST. It is located at the end of this manual. This sheet will list some of the minimums for basic operation of the machine. Please feel free to detach it and make copies. This sheet is a checklist by which an experienced operator can provide training to a new operator. This sheet should help to familiarize the new operator with the machine.

It covers basic machine controls and use, but it is not to be considered a complete training exercise. Nor is it to be considered a complete guide to concrete finishing.

FINISH CONCRETE IN A SATISFACTORY MANNER.

Blades are a vital part of finishing concrete. This finisher has been designed to finish concrete and 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 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.

Finish Blades

These blades 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 machine does not sink into the concrete when placed on it .

Clip-On Float Blades

These blades will clip on to an existing installed blade, allowing your finisher to float on “wet” concrete so that the troweling operation can begin as early as possible. They are easily removable, so that after the floating operation, when the concrete is sufficiently cured, they can be removed to expose the finish blades for continued troweling.

Float Discs

These round discs 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 quite effective in embedding large aggregates and surface hardeners.

FIELD 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.

Multiquip makes a special tool that will adjust all of the trowel arms consistently, Part Number 1817-Trowel Arm Fixture.

Shown here is the adjustment fixture with an arm. As each arm is locked into the fixture, the arm bolt is adjusted to where it contacts a stop on the fixture. This will consistently adjust all of the trowel arms, keeping the finisher as flat and evenly pitched as possible.

See Blade Pitch Adjustment Procedure in the Maintenance section of this manual for more information.

LIFT BALE

There is a heavy duty, center balance type lifting bale made specifically for your trowel. These bales are ideal for lifting and transporting your trowel. They are designed to lift the finisher and balance it on it’s center of gravity, providing great stability while lifting.

GRINDING ATTACHMENTS

Available grinding attachments are used for grinding surface imperfections or joints. These attachments allow greater utilization of your trowel.
