B-SERIES TROWEL — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #0 (12/03/01) — PAGE 17
BLADES
Note: BLADES SHOULD BE CHANGED WHEN THEY FAIL TO
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
B-SERIES TROWEL — OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
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.
