WALK BEHIND POWER TROWEL INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

 

The trowel arm adjustment fixture (20801) is reversible. 

By  rotating  the  arm  clamping  fixture  and  the  ring  bolt, 

both  left  hand  and  right  hand  trowel  arms  may  be 

adjusted.  Before  attempting  adjustment,  determine 

whether  the  trowel  arm  is  right  handed  or  left  handed. 

When adjusting left hand trowel arms use the side of the 

fixture  marked  “L”.  When  adjusting  right  hand  trowels 

arms use the opposite side. The adjustment bar will be 

set on “36” for the Walk-behind trowel arm. 

 

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE 

1.  Remove  all  trowel  arm  assemblies  (1  &  2  arm  and 

attached lift lever) from suspected maladjusted spider 

plate. 

2.  Remove  lift  lever  (2)  from  trowel  arm  (1)  by  first 

loosening jam nut (3) then square head screw (4). If 

upon  inspection  (method  left  to  discretion  of 

serviceman)  any  trowel  arm  (1)  is  found  to  be  in  a 

bent  condition,  it  must  either  be  brought  back  to  its 

original  straight  condition  (method  left  to  the 

serviceman’s discretion) or replaced with new part. 

3.  Replace  lift  levers  (2)  on  new  or  straightened  arms 

(1) by reversing procedure as described above.

4.  Place  trowel  arm  assembly  (1  and  2)  in  fixture  (5) 

with lift lever (2) butting up against fixture. Clamp in 

place with bolts (6). 

5.  Loosen locknut (7) and screw carriage bolt (8) down 

to  full  depth  allowable.  This  will  provide  for  ample 

clearance  to  swing  precision  ground  adjustment  bar 

(9) over head of carriage bolt.  

 

 

Adjustment bar (9) is stamped for appropriate size of 

machine. Swing appropriate side directly over carriage 

bolt (8) and secure in place with bolt (10). 

6.  Adjust carriage bolt (8) upwards until contact is made 

with  adjustment  bar  (9);  holding  carriage  bolt  in 

position with one wrench, tighten locknut (7) to secure 

in position with second wrench. 

7.  This same procedure is to be followed with ALL arms 

from  spider  plate  assembly,  and  will  ensure  correct 

and exact adjustment. 

 

TROWEL ARM ADJUSTMENT SCREW 

The trowel arm  adjustment  screw is  to be used for field 

adjustment  of  blade  level,  in  the  event  of  a  damaged 

trowel arm, to enable completion of the job. At the end of 

the job repairs should be made to eliminate the damage. 

When  assembling  trowel  blades  to  trowel  arms,  the 

adjustment  screw  should  NEVER  protrude  below  the 

under-side surface of a trowel arm. 

If the adjustment screw is not flush with the underside of 

the  trowel  arm,  then  this  will  cause  the  power  trowel  to 

bounce  and  vibrate  especially  at  high  speed.  This  will 

also cause the trowel blades to leave an uneven finish to 

the  concrete  due  to  the  blades  not  being  level  to  one 

another. 

Make  certain  that  the  adjusting  screw  is  held  firmly  in 

place while tightening the bolt which secures the blade to 

the trowel arm.
