General maintenance practices are crucial to the
performance and longevity of your trowel. This equipment
requires routine cleaning, blade and trowel arm inspection,
lubrication and V-belt inspection for wear and damage.
Reference Table 5 for scheduled trowel maintenance.
The following procedures, devoted to maintenance, can
prevent serious trowel damage or malfunctioning.
geNeral cleaNliNess
Clean the trowel daily. Remove all dust and slurry buildup.
If the trowel is steam-cleaned, ensure that lubrication is
accomplished aFTer steam cleaning.
elecTric mOTOr
The electric motor bearing is prelubricated, no further
lubrication or maintenance is required.
v-BelT
Visually examine the V-belt (Figure 18) and determine if it
is full of tiny cracks, frayed, has pieces of rubber missing,
is peeling or otherwise damaged.
Also, examine the V-belt and determine if it is " glazed "
(hard shiny appearance on the sides of the belt). Either of
these two conditions can cause the belt to run hot, which
can weaken it and increase the danger of it breaking.
If the V-belt exhibits any of the above wear conditions
replace the V-belt immediately
