INTRODUCTION:

depending on the operator’s skill and job conditions. This trowel has four finishing
blades. Walk-behind trowels are designed for the floating and finishing of concrete slabs.
• The standard duty gearbox is designed to provide exceptional performance with low
maintenance and trouble-free use under some of the worst conditions. Power is trans-
ferred from the engine to the gearbox input shaft via a V-belt pulley drive system. The
pulley engages using a clutch, see the Parts Section (Section 4) of this manual for a
breakdown.
