Changing Blades Only
We recommend 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.
Before removing the
blades, please note the
orientation of the blade on
the trowel arm.
1. Remove the two bolts and lock washers that secure the blade
to the trowel arm. Remove the blade.
2. Using a wire brush, scrape all concrete particles and foreign
debris from the trowel arm.
3. Install the new trowel blade onto the trowel arm. Make sure
blade is installed correctly, maintaining the proper orienta-
tion for direction of rotation.
4. Reinstall the two bolts and lock washers that secure the
blade to the trowel arm. Tighten both bolts securely.
5. Repeat steps 1 - 4 for all remaining blades.
