Service
Due to the nature and environment of use, power trowels are exposed to severe operating
conditions.
Some general maintenance guidelines will extend the useful life of your trowel.
The initial service for your power trowel should be performed after 25 hours of use, at
which time your mechanic (or authorized repair shop) should complete all of the
recommended checks in the schedule above.
Regular service according to the schedule above will prolong the life of the power
trowel and prevent expensive repairs.
Keeping your power trowel clean and free from concrete residue is the single most
important regular maintenance operation, over and above the checks in the service
schedule above, that can be performed.
Components such as oil seals, belts, drive line parts and bearings are prone to
premature wear from exposure to concrete residue. Using a spray-on release agent
on your power trowel before each use will make clean-up after use easy and extend
the time between replacement of most of the wearing components of the machine.
After each use your power trowel should be cleaned to remove any concrete residue
from the undercarriage and surrounding components. Use of a power washer will
make clean up quick and easy, especially if a release agent was applied prior to use.
In the Service Schedule above, items that should be checked, replaced or adjusted
are indicated by “o” in the appropriate column. Not all power trowel models include
the same features and options and as such not all service operations may have to be
performed. For ease of recording place a checkmark (√) through the “o” when the
item is complete. If an item is not required or not completed place a
n “x” through the
“o” in the box.
For all fuel-line powered trowels the governed speed of the engine is 2000 to 3600
rpm. See engine manufacturer’s manual for exact specifications. Care should be
used when making any adjustments to the power trowel not to change the governed
speed. Increasing the governed speed of the engine may lead to premature failure
and void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Failure to have your power trowel regularly serviced and properly maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions will lead to premature failure and
void the warranty.
