Figure 39. Worn Spider Plate
Trowel Arm adjustment Procedure
A
level, clean area to test the trowel prior to and after is essential.
Any unlevel
spots in the floor or debris under the trowel blades
will give an incorrect perception of adjustment. Ideally, a 5 x 5"
three-quarter inch thick
flat steel plate should be used for testing.
1. To determine which blades need adjustment, place the
trowel in the test area (three-quarter inch thick plate) and look
for the following conditions:
■
Pitch the blades as flat as possible and look at the
adjustment bolts. They should all barely make contact
with the
lower wear plate on the spider. If you can see
that one of them is not making contact, some adjustment
will be necessary.
■
Is the machine wearing out blades unevenly (i.e. one
blade is completely worn out while the others look new)?
Figure 39 below illustrates a "
worn spider bushings or bent
trowel arms". Check to see that adjustment bolt is barely
touching (0.10" max. clearance) lower wear plate. All alignment
bolts should be spaced the same distance from the lower wear
plate.
Figure 40 below illustrates the "
correct alignment " for a spider
plate (as shipped from the factory).
