BLADE PITCH ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Maintenance adjustment of blade pitch is made by adjusting
a bolt (Figure 38) on the arm of the trowel blade finger.
This bolt is the contact point of the trowel arm to the lower
wear plate on the thrust collar. The goal of adjustment is to
promote consistent blade pitch and finishing quality.

ADJUSTMENT BOLT
Figure 38. Blade Pitch Adjustment Bolt
Look for the following indications if blades are wearing
unevenly. If so, adjustment may be necessary.
„ Are the blades wearing unevenly? Is one blade
completely worn out while the others look new?
„ Does the machine have a perceptible rolling or bouncing
motion when in use?
„ Do the guard rings rock up and down while the machine
is running?
„ Do the pitch control towers rock back and forth?
