Service and maintenance
MAINTENANCE
The Paclite MASTER Trowel is designed to give many years of trouble free operation. It is, however, important
that the simple regular maintenance listed in this section is carried out. It is recommended that an approved
Paclite Equipment dealer carry out all major maintenance and repairs. Always use genuine Paclite replacement
parts, the use of spurious parts may void your warranty. Before any maintenance is carried out on the machine,
switch off the engine and disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug. Always set the machine on level ground
to ensure any fluid levels will be correctly read. Only use recommended oils.
RUNNING IN PERIOD
When the trowel is first used from new, the engine oil must be changed after the initial running in period. (see
engine manual for full details).
MACHINE CLEANING
Clean the machine after it has been used to prevent the collection of hardened cement. The blades can usually
be cleaned with a high-pressure hose and water while the concrete is still wet. Hard cement/concrete is very
difficult to remove. Immediately replace any labels/stickers should you notice that they are worn, missing, or
damaged.
CHANGING BLADES
Be careful when changing old blades for new. Due to the way the blades wear, the old blades
become very sharp and can cut easily. Wear heavy duty gloves to avoid injury.
BLADES MUST BE REPLACED AS A SET!!!
