ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Before the trowel can be put into operation there are some
components that must be installed before the trowel can
be used. This section provides general instructions on how
to install those components. Instruction sheet P/N 20485
provides further details for the handle assembly.
Handle Tube Installation
1. Attach the main handle (tube) to the gearbox as
shown in (Figure 4). The mounting hardware should
be contained in the shipping container.

NOTICE
If additional handle height adjustment is desired, a
handle wedge kit can be purchased for your trowel by
ordering P/N 2576 from your Multiquip dealer.
These wedges are placed between the handle and the
gearbox to adjust the operating height of the handle.
This kit comes complete with wedges, new bolts and
installation instructions. This will move your operating
handle position up or down approximately 3” (76 mm).
