BLADES AND PANS
Trowel blades are essential for finishing concrete. The
blades of this trowel were built to stringent quality standards
from the finest steel. Trowel blades should be replaced
when they fail to finish concrete in a satisfactory manner.
If replacement blades are needed, refer to the parts manual
provided with your trowel for part numbers, and order from
your Multiquip parts dealer or importer.
Combination Blades (Standard)
This trowel is equipped with combination blades (Figure 51)
which provide optimal performance for both floating and
finishing operations. These blades are versatile and should
satisfy most troweling needs.

Finish Blades (Optional)
Finish blades (Figure 52) are specifically designed for
trowel finishing operations, and provide premium surface
finishing capability. Finish blades should only be used after
the concrete has partially dried enough to prevent the trowel
from sinking into the concrete when placed on it.

Clip-On Float Blades (Optional)
Clip-on float blades (Figure 53) are easily installed onto
existing finish blades for floating purposes. They are easily
removed once floating is complete so that finishing can
proceed immediately.

Float Discs (Optional)
Float discs, or pans (Figure 54), attach to the spider
assembly and allow the trowel to float on wet concrete.
The disc design allows early floating and easy movement
from wet to dry areas. Float discs are also very effective
at embedding large aggregates and surface hardeners.

NOTICE
For optimal pan performance, blade speed must be
lowered using the Low Speed Kit (P/N LOWSPEEDKITJB).
Refer to the Engine and Clutch Assembly section of
the trowel parts manual for more information.
TROWEL ARM ADJUSTMENT TOOL
If the trowel blades show uneven wear patterns, or some
blades wear out faster than others, the trowel arms
may need to be adjusted. A trowel arm adjustment tool
(P/N 1817) is available for consistent adjustment of all
trowel arms. See Figure 55.
