FINISHING OPERATION
After the floating operation, the first thing to do is to remove the Float Pan from the
blades and clean the blades, spider assembly and guard ring of cement/concrete paste
collected during the floating operation. Increase the blade pitch up to 10mm for the first
finishing operation and then continue to increase the pitch on the following finishing
operations.
Continue the finishing passes until you obtained the desired finished floor surface. The
time required between each finishing pass is dependent on the weather conditions,
cement and water content of the concrete. If some areas of the concrete set harden too
fast, you may apply a small amount of water
with a brush to help achieve a finish. Be careful when running the Trowel on areas where
water has been applied because the Trowel will tend to skate away. Be sure to maintain
control of the Trowel at all times.
PITCH ADJUSTMENT
The pitch control knob is in easy reach of the operator. The pitch adjustment has a limited
pitch variation. Rotate the pitch control knob clockwise to tilt the blades and
counterclockwise to decrease the angle of the blades. Adjustment is based on the
desired performance for the specific job application.
SPIDER PLATE
By experience, we know the major problem on the Trowel arm is lack of lubrication.
During mounting, we undertake the greasing and sealing the Trowel arms on the spider
plate. Greasing to be carried out on a weekly basis using the grease nipple provided. If
an arm becomes jammed, this is probably due to the arm being bent and will require
replacement.
