Due to the nature and environment of use, Nexus Power Trowels could be 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 on Page 31. The “Routine Service Intervals”
chart is handy for keeping a record of the maintenance performed and the parts
used for servicing your equipment.
•
Regular service according to the previous schedule will prolong the life of the NXT-
90 and prevent expensive repairs.
•
Keeping your NXT-90 clean and free from debris is the single most important
regular maintenance operation, over and above the checks in the service schedule
above, that can be performed. After each use your Power Trowel should be cleaned
to remove any dust and debris from the undercarriage and surrounding
components. Use of a power washer will make clean up quick and easy, especially
if a non-stick coating was applied prior to use. Dried concrete is most easily cleaned
off using
Liquid Hammer
from Bartell Morrison Inc.
•
In the Service Schedule above, items that should be checked, replaced or adjusted
are indicated by “o” in the appropriate column. All Power Trowels have governed
engine speed of 3600 rpm. See the engine manufacturer’s manual for exact
specifications.
•
Failure to have your NXT-90 regularly serviced and properly maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions will lead to premature failure and
void the warranty.

The following steps should be taken to prepare your NXT-90 for extended storage:
1.
Clean all concrete residue from the equipment.
2.
Close the fuel shut-off valve.
3.
Siphon all possible gasoline from the fuel tank.
4.
Start the engine with the fuel shut-off valve still closed and let it run until it stops on
its own. This prevents the build-up of residue in the carburetor.
5.
Remove the spark plug and pour 2 oz. of SAE-30 or SAE-40 motor oil into the
cylinder. Slowly crank the engine 2 – 3 times to distribute the oil throughout the
cylinder to prevent corrosion during storage.
6.
Store the NXT-90 upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
