BLADE REPLACEMENT
It is recommended to replace all of the trowel blades at the
same time. If only one or some of the blades are changed,
the machine may wobble or bounce and will not finish
concrete consistently.
NOTICE
Please note the orientation of each blade on the trowel
arm before removal.
1. Place the trowel on a flat, level surface, with blocks
under the main guard ring for support.
2. Remove the bolts from each of the trowel arms, then
remove the blades as shown in Figure 45.

3. Wire brush and remove all concrete and debris from
each of the four trowel arms. This is important to
properly seat the new blades.
4. Install the new blades, maintaining the proper blade
orientation as noted during removal. Secure with the
bolts that were removed earlier.
