ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Your new Bartell Ride-On Trowel has been shipped to you partially disassembled. To
prepare for operation use the following instructions:
1. STEERING HANDLE ASSEMBLY
(Not applicable to BXR836 or 96H)
The steering handles are shipped ready to connect. Position the handles over the handle
sleeves so that the set-screws (2 per handle) are lined up with the tapped holes on the sleeves.
Tighten the set-screws and test the mobility of the handles.
2. PITCH CONTROL ASSEMBLY
(If required)
Bolt pitch control tube (C) to pitch control bracket (D) with
bolts provided. Put cable end (E) through yoke arm (F) and secure
with nylon insert locknut (G). For proper cable adjustment, turn
crank (A) counter-clockwise to the stop position. Tighten nut (G)
until all slack in the cable is removed. If more than 2 or 3 threads
show through the nut, it should be turned back and the guide
screw (B) moved to the next lower hole. Tension in the cable
should then be readjusted. After adjusting tension, turn hand crank
full clockwise (ABOUT 24 TURNS) and check for clearance
between the yoke arm (F) and the gear box at point (H). There
should be enough space to pass a business card through but not
more than 1/8 inch.
3. SEAT ASSEMBLY
(If required)
Remove protective wrapping from seat. The seat is now ready to secure to the frame
using included washers and hex nuts. If the seat adjuster is ordered, the slider bars must be
positioned between the seat and the frame using included screws to secure the seat to the
sliders, and then securing the sliders to the frame as indicated above.
4. TRANSPORTER ASSEMBLY
(Not applicable to 96H)
The components of the transporter (handle, frame, wheels, and parts bag) are shipped
separately, requiring some assembly. Extend the handle outside the frame. Slide the handle
along the frame cross-bar to align the hole on the handle with the hol
e on the “U” frame. Insert
the large hitch pin (Part
#12487) through the hole to secure the handle to the “U” frame.
Position one of the wheels on the axle and secure in place by inserting pin (Part #10315) into
the hole on the end of the axle. Repeat procedure for the other wheel.
CAUTION: The transporter is designed to be used on the job site only. Do not use the
transporter to tow the machine off-site.
