OPTIONS
BLADES AND PANS
Trowel blades are essential for finishing concrete. The
blades of this trowel were built to stringent quality standards
from the finest steel. Trowel blades should be replaced
when they fail to finish concrete in a satisfactory manner.
If replacement blades are needed, refer to the parts manual
included with your trowel for part numbers, and order from
your Multiquip parts dealer.
Combo Blades (Standard)
This trowel is equipped with combination float/finish blades
(Figure 45), which provide optimal performance for both
floating and finishing operations. These blades are versatile
and should accomodate most troweling needs.
Figure 45. Combination Blade
Finish Blades (Optional)
Finish blades (Figure 46) are specifically designed for
trowel finishing operations, and provide premium surface
finishing capability. Finish blades should
only be used after
the concrete has partially dried enough to prevent the trowel
from sinking into the concrete when placed on it.
Figure 46. Finish Blade
Clip-On Float Blades (Optional)
Clip-on float blades (Figure 47) are easily installed onto
existing finish blades for floating purposes. They are easily
removed once floating is complete so that finishing can be
started immediately.
Figure 47. Clip-On Float Blade
Float Discs (Optional)
Float discs, or pans (Figure 48), attach to the spider
assembly and allow the trowel to float on wet concrete.
The disc design allows early floating and easy movement
from wet to dry areas. Float discs are also very effective
for embedding large aggregates and surface hardeners.

TROWEL ARM ADJUSTMENT TOOL
If the trowel blades show uneven wear patterns, or some
blades wear out faster than others, the trowel arms
may need to be adjusted. A trowel arm adjustment tool
(P/N 1817) is available for consistent adjustment of all
trowel arms. See Figure 49.

NOTICE
For optimal pan performance, blade speed must be
lowered using the Low Speed Kit (P/N 22587). Refer
to the
Engine and Clutch Assembly
section of the
trowel parts manual for more information.
