Lift Lever Adjustment Procedure
• Damage to and/or replacement of a trowel arm can change the adjustment of the lift lever. This can unbalance the
trowel arms and cause the riding trowel to wobble during operation. To operate smoothly the lift lever on all trowel
arms must be adjusted the same to ensure that the riding trowel is balanced correctly.
• Adjusting the trowel arms is accomplished by using the optional trowel arm alignment jig AEC PN 016863. The
service manual that is included with the alignment jig describes in detail the steps to preform this procedure and to
check the flatness and straightness of the trowel arms.
Make sure that there is no pitch in the blades
before attempting to remove a trowel arm.
• The steps below descried the general procedure to remove the trowel arms to be aligned.
1. Block up pressure plate [A] using a wooden block.
2. Remove stabilizer ring from spider assembly (only on available models).
3. Remove blades from trowel arms.
4. Loosen hex head cap screw
