MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 

GENERAL 

Keep engine oil clean. Change according to engine manufacturer’s specifications. 

  Maintain the oil levels in the engine and gearbox assemblies. Change as required. 

  Use only clean fuel in the engine. 

  Check for loose nuts and bolts on the trowel and tighten as necessary. 

  Check belts for wear, replace if worn. 

  Grease all fittings daily. See diagram. 

  Clean the unit after every use to prevent hardening of concrete residue. Hard concrete is 

very difficult to remove, greatly increases weight, and reduces efficient subsequent 
operation of unit. 

  Check clutch linings regularly for wear. Linings should be changed when 3/4 worn. Do 

not allow metal to metal contact as this will damage the clutch drum. (New lining is 
8mm.) 

AIR CLEANER 

Maintaining a clean engine will extend engine life. 
Always keep air filter clean. Clean air filter using the recommended solvent. See engine manual 
for proper cleaning procedure. Let the filter dry before reinstalling. 
 

SPARK PLUG

 

Check and clean spark plugs regularly. A fouled, dirty spark plug causes hard starting and poor 
engine performance. Set spark plug gap to recommended clearance. Refer to engine manual. 
 

BELT CHANGE PROCEDURE 

 

BXR836/830: 

1.  Remove belt cover from the machine to expose the drive components. 
2.  Release the belt tensioner to release the belt. 

 

TS78 & TS88: 

1.  Remove belt cover from the machine to expose the drive components. 
2.  Compress the belt in the directions shown (Figure 4) while pushing the belt towards the 

center of the driven pulley (1). 

3.  While the pulley is opened by the belt, insert a wedge so that it will remain open. (Figure 

5) 

4.  Slip the belt off by rotating the opened pulley. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Figure 4 

 

Step 2: Press belt toward 
center of driven pulley. 
 
 
 
 
 
Step 3: Insert a wedge to 
hold the pulley open.
