EPOXY/M SERIES TROWEL — ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Assembly and Installation
Before the trowel can be put into operation there are some
components that must be installed before the trowel can be used.
This section explains how to install those components.
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.

Quick Pitch™ Handle Installation (Quick Pitch Models Only)
The Quick Pitch™ handle is spring loaded, personal injury
or damage could result from improper handling or installation.
Be careful when installing this component.
1. Grasp the Quick Pitch™ T-handle from the operator's
position and squeeze the blade pitch adjustment trigger.
Move the
T-handle towards the engine as far as possible
(Figure 6). This will compress the spring inside the handle
tube. Allowing maximum exposure of the pitch cable.
2. Lock the spring in the compressed position, by releasing
the blade pitch adjustment trigger.
