ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
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 provided general instructions on how to install those
components. Instruction sheet P/N 20485 provides further details
for the handle assembly.
Handle Tube Installation (All Models)
1.
Install the
handle tube
to the gearbox as shown in (Figure 5).
The mounting hardware should be contained in the shipping
container.
Figure 5. Handle Tube Installation
2.
Pivot the
T-handle
back (full pitch) (Figure 6). This will
relax the spring inside the handle tube. Spread the handle
bar ends just enough to engage the teeth on the handle
tube. Attach the hand wheel assembly, position handlebar
to desired location, and tighten hand wheel firmly.
Figure 6. Handlebar Installation
1. Uncoil the throttle cable and housing.
2. Feed the throttle cable through the cable housing.
3. Connect the throttle cable to the engine. (Figure 7),
HONDA
and (Figure 8),
ROBIN
. There should be a piece of wire
installed on the trowel to show where to route the throttle
cable. Route cable end (item 2) through the spring (item 4)
and swivel stop (item 6). When connecting the cable housing,
make sure that no more than
1/4" (6.4mm)
of the cable
housing (item 5) protrudes past the housing clamp (item 7)
on the engine.
