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 concrete
finisher on areas where water has been applied because the machine will tend to skate away. Be
sure to maintain control of the concrete finisher at all times.
Pitch Adjustment
The pitch control knob or the optional blade pitch lever 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 flatten the angle of the blades. Adjustment is based on the desired
performance for the specific job application. With the blade pitch lever, blade pitch can be adjusted
by depressing the spring-loaded button in the adjustment lever and moving the lever to the desired
pitch.
Spider Plate
By experience, we know that 2 major problems with the concrete finisher’s arms are lack of
lubrication and bent arms due to the machine being dropped. Greasing should be carried out on a
weekly basis using the grease nipple provided (Figure 3). If an arm becomes jammed, this is
probably due to the arm being bent and will require replacement.
