3. Next, check the clearance between the round shaft and
the test surface as one of the flat hex sections of the
arm rests on the test surface. Rotate the arm to each
of the flat hex sections and check the clearance of the
round shaft. Use a feeler gauge of .005" (0.127 mm).
Each section should have the same clearance between
the round of the trowel arm shaft and the test surface.
4. If the trowel arm is found to be uneven or bent, replace
the trowel arm.

Shown in (Figure 42) is the adjustment fixture with a trowel
arm inserted. As each trowel 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.
1. Locate the trowel arm adjustment tool P/N 9177.

2. Ensure the fixture arm is in the proper setting (up or down)
for your trowel arm rotation as shown in Figure 43.

3. Unscrew the locking bolts on the adjustment tool and
place the trowel arm into the fixture channel as shown
in Figure 44. A thin shim may be required to cover the
blade holes on the trowel arm. Make sure to align the
trowel adjustment bolt with the fixture adjustment bolt.

4. Use an allen wrench to tighten the locking bolts
securing the trowel arm in place.
5. Adjust the bolt “distance” shown in Figure 44to match
one of the arms. The other arms will be adjusted to
match this distance.
6. Loosen the locking nut on the trowel arm lever, then
turn the trowel arm adjusting bolt until it barely touches
(.010") the fixture adjusting bolt.
7. Once the correct adjustment is made, tighten the lock
nut on the trowel arm to lock in place.
8. Loosen locking nuts on the adjustment fixture, and
remove trowel arm.
9. Repeat steps for the remaining trowel arms.
