HPHA36C5H TROWEL — ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Assembly and Installation
Before the trowel can be put into operation, there are some
components that must be installed. This section provides general
instructions on how to install those components. Instruction sheet
P/N 20485 provides further details for the handle assembly.
Handle Tube Installation (All Models)
1. Install the handle tube to the gearbox as shown in (Figure 5).
The mounting hardware should be contained in the shipping
container with the handle.
Figure 5. Handle Tube Installation
2. On Quick-Pitch™ models, pivot the pitch handle back
(full pitch) (Figure 6). This will relax the spring inside the
handle tube. On either model, spread the handle bar ends
just enough to engage the teeth on the handle tube. Attach
the hand wheel assembly, position handlebar to desired
location, and tighten hand wheel firmly.

2. Feed the throttle cable through the cable housing.
3. Connect the throttle cable to the engine. (Figure 8). There
should be a piece of wire installed on the trowel to show
where to route the throttle cable. When connecting the cable
housing, make sure that no more than
1/4" (6.4mm) of the
cable housing protrudes past the housing clamp on the
engine.
