J36/B46-M30 SERIES WALK-BEHIND TROWELS • OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #1 (11/17/17) — PAGE 19
Figure 2 shows the location of the basic trowel components.
Listed below is a brief explanation of each component.
1.
Access Panel — Allows access to the blade area.
NEVER run the trowel with the access panel removed.
2.
Engine — Gasoline engine. Refer to Table 3 and
Table 4 for engine specifications.
3.
Lifting Bail — Attach a suitable lifting device to the
lifting bail whenever lifting of the trowel is required.
4.
Throttle Lever — Controls engine speed. Returns the
engine to
idle when released.
5.
Operator Presence Lever (Optional) — In the event
of a trowel runaway condition (the operator releases
the handle), the operator presence lever signals the
safety stop switch which will stop the engine and bring
the trowel to a halt.
6.
Vibratory Handlebar — Rubber shock mounts/
isolators reduce trowel vibration.
7.
Pitch Control Star Wheel — To adjust the pitch
of the blades, rotate the star wheel
clockwise to
pitch the blades upward. Rotate the star wheel
counterclockwise to pitch the blades flat (no pitch).
8.
Handlebar Pad — Foam rubber pad that protects the
body when coming into contact with the handlebar.
9.
Hand Grips (2) — ALWAYS place hands on both hand
grips when maneuvering the trowel. Replace hand grips
when they become worn or damaged.
10.
Handlebar Adjuster — Change the angle or height
of the handlebar by loosening the star wheel. Adjust
the handlebar to the desired location and tighten the
star wheel firmly to secure the handlebar in position.
11.
Centrifugal Safety Stop Switch — If the operator
loses control of the trowel, this switch will shut down
the engine.
12.
Blades (4) — Versatile combination blades should take
care of most troweling needs.
13.
V-Belt Cover — Remove this cover to gain access to
the V-belt.
NEVER operate the trowel with this cover
removed.
14.
Guard Ring — NEVER put hands or feet inside the
guard ring while the engine is running.
15.
Gearbox — Helical worm gear drive gearbox. Provides
rotation of blades via engine interface.
ALWAYS check
the gearbox oil level (sight glass) prior to each use. Fill
with Mobil SHC™ 634 gearbox oil as needed.
16.
Trowel Arms (4) — Combination blades attach here.
In addition, float discs can be attached to the trowel
arms that will allow the trowel to “float” on wet concrete.
17.
Quick Pitch™ Control Handle —
To adjust the pitch
of the blades upward using the Quick Pitch™ handle,
simply pull the T-handle backward while squeezing the
trigger. Push the T-handle forward to pitch the blades flat
(no pitch).
Contact Multiquip unit sales to purchase
this option.
NOTICE
NEVER operate the trowel with a bent, broken, or
out-of-adjustment trowel arm. If the blades show uneven
wear patterns, or some blades wear out faster than
others, the trowel arm may need to be adjusted. Refer
to the
Maintenance
section for more information.
