Due to the nature and environment of use, power trowels are exposed to severe operating conditions.
Some general maintenance guidelines will extend the useful life of your trowel.
The initial service for your power trowel should be performed after 25 hours of use, at which time your
mechanic (or authorized repair shop) should complete all of the recommended checks in the schedule above.
The chart on page 6 (six) is handy for keeping a record of the maintenance performed and the parts used for
servicing your trowel.
Regular service according to the schedule above will prolong the life of the power trowel and prevent
expensive repairs.
Keeping your power trowel clean and free from concrete residue is the single most important regular
maintenance operation, over and above the checks in the service schedule above, that can be performed.
Components such as oil seals, belts, drive line parts and bearings are prone to premature wear from
exposure to concrete residue. Using a spray-on non-stick coating on your power trowel before each use will
make clean-up after use easy and extend the time between replacement of most of the wearing components
of the machine.
After each use your power trowel should be cleaned to remove any concrete residue from the undercarriage
and surrounding components. Use of a power washer will make clean up quick and easy, especially if a non-
stick coating was applied prior to use.
In the Service Schedule above, items that should be checked, replaced or adjusted are indicated by “o” in the
appropriate column. Not all power trowel models include the same features and options and as such not all
service operations may have to be performed. For ease of recording place a checkmark (
) through the “o”
when the item is complete. If an item is not required or not completed place an “x” through the “o” in the box.
For all fuel-line powered trowels the governed speed of the engine is 2000 to 3600 rpm. See engine
manufacturer’s manual for exact specifications. Care should be used when making any adjustments to the
power trowel not to change the governed speed. Increasing the governed speed of the engine may lead to
premature failure and void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Failure to have your power trowel regularly serviced and properly maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions will lead to premature failure and void the warranty.
