OPERATIONS
1A-12
Damage to, or replacement of, a trowel arm can change the adjust-
ment of the lift lever. This can unbalance the trowel arms and cause
the trowel to wobble during operation. To operate smoothly, the lift
lever on all arms must be adjusted equally. All arms should be adjust-
ed at the same time to ensure that the trowel is balanced correctly.
Adjust trowel arms using optional adjusting tool as described below.
1. Block up pressure plate using wooden blocks (b).
and have blades without contact.
2. Loosen hex head screws (a) on spider which
secures trowel arm in place (do not remove screws).
3. Remove trowel arms from spider with lift levers in
place.
4. Remove blade from trowel arms.
5. Clean all flats on trowel arm before placing it in the
adjusting tool (c) to make sure it lies flat. Clean thor-
oughly using a wire brush and scraper.
6. The adjusting tool comes with three different size
spacers. Use the shortest spacer (d) when adjusting
a Cyclone™ Power Trowels.
7. Insert trowel arm into adjusting tool as shown.
8. Tighten socket head bolts (e) down on the trowel
arm to hold it in place.
9. Move adjusting tool arm (f) over carriage bolts (g)on
lift levers shown.
10. Loosen the jam nut (h) and adjust the carriage bolt
so that the top of the bolt is just touching and mak-
ing contact with the bottom of the adjusting tool.
11. Tighten jam nut to secure adjustment in place.
12. Attach blades to arms and trowel arms to spider
plate. Tighten hex head screws to secure arm in
spider.

mount disc(a), lift trowel off the ground (engine off) and position
disc against blades. Turn disc either to the right or the left to
engage clip angles (b) as shown. Remember the right hand trowel
blades turn counterclockwise the left-hand blades turn clockwise.
