Maintenance
Installing pans Onto Finisher Blades
These round discs sometimes referred to as "pans" attach
to the spiders arms and allow early floating on wet concrete
and easy movement from wet to dry areas. They are also
very effective in embedding large aggregates and surface
hardeners.
1. Lift trowel just enough to slide pan under blades. Lower
finisher onto pan with blades assembly adjacent to
Z-Clips.
2. Rotate blades into position under Z-Clips (Figure 45).
Ensure that the blades are rotated in the direction of
travel when the machine is in operation or use the
engine to rotate the blades into position.

aLWayS install pans either on the work area or on an
area that is next to and level with the work area. DO
NOT lift the trowel when the pans are attached.

3. Attach the blade tie-downs to the far side of the Z-Clip
brackets with tie-down knobs as shown in Figure 45.
4. Check to make certain that the blade edges are
secured under the Z-Clips and the tie-downs are
secured completely over the edges of the blade bar
before the machine is put back into operation.
Checking Hydraulic Steering pressure
Many hydraulic problems are a result of low fluid levels.
Before checking any other possibilities, make sure the
hydraulic fluid level is up to the top of the sight glass which
is located at the back/center of the frame.
Hydrostatic pressure can be checked using a pressure
gauge with a range of at least 5,000 psi. Two male
diagnostic quick couplers/test ports (one for each pump)
are located beneath the right grill guard (Figure 46).

NeveR use your hand to find hydraulic
leaks. Use a piece of wood or cardboard.
Hydraulic fluid injected into the skin must
be treated by a knowledgable physician
immediately or severe injury or death can
occur.
