Float/Trowel pitch setting
Once you are familiar with the steering functions on a flat floor, you are ready to
combine the steering with float/trowel pitch settings to produce the finish
you require. The pitch adjustment feature of the Beton Trowel RIDE-ON TROWEL
permits quick and accurate pitch changes of the finishing/float blades, without having
to stop the machine. Turning the adjustment crank-handle at the end of the pitch
control tubes enables you to change the pitch whenever necessary to allow for
varying conditions over the slap surface.
Each spider plate is adjusted independently. The pitch setting will affect the steering
of your unit. Experiment with the settings as you test drive so you will know what to
expect.
CAUTION: Do not let the machine stand in one spot on the soft
concrete; This may place unnecessary strain on the clutch to break it
free of the concrete. If the unit has been sitting for any length of time,
break it free from the concrete before attempting operation.
CAUTION: When finishing concrete above grade, erect a situation barrier along the
edge of the slab as a protective measure. The barrier must follow all applicable
codes and should be such that it will stop the trowel from riding over the edge of the
slab in case of loss of control.
