Figure 37. 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 37) below illustrates " worn spider bushings or bent
trowel arms ". Check to see that adjustment bolt is barely
touching (0.010" max. clearance) lower wear plate. All alignment
bolts should be spaced the same distance from the lower wear
plate.
(Figure 38) below illustrates the " correct alignment " for a spider
plate (as shipped from the factory).
Figure 38. Correct Spider Plate Alignment
At the front of the book (Page 7) there is a “
Daily Pre-Operation
Checklist ”. Make copies of this checklist and use it on a daily
basis.
