Reassembly
1. Clean and examine the entire spider assembly including
the upper and lower wear plates and thrust collar. Wire
brush any concrete or rust buildup. Replace any spider
components that are damaged or out-of-round.
2. Make sure the bronze trowel arm bushings are
not damaged or out-of-round. Clean the bushings
if necessary. Replace any bronze bushing that is
damaged or worn.
3. Reinstall the bronze bushings onto the trowel arm.
4. Repeat steps 2–3 for each trowel arm.

PREPARATION FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE
1. Disconnect and remove the battery.
2. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank.

of direct sunlight in a moisture- and dust-free location.
TROWEL DECOMMISSIONING
Decommissioning is a controlled process used to safely
retire a piece of equipment that is no longer serviceable.
If the equipment poses an unacceptable and unrepairable
safety risk due to wear or damage, or is no longer cost
effective to maintain (beyond life-cycle reliability), and is
to be decommissioned (demolition and dismantlement),
the following procedure must be performed:
1. Drain all fluids completely. These may include engine
oil, gasoline, hydraulic oil, and coolant. Dispose
of all fluids properly in accordance with local and
governmental regulations. NEVER pour fluids on the
ground or down drains or sewers.
2. Remove the battery and bring it to an appropriate
facility for lead reclamation. Use safety precautions
when handling batteries that contain sulfuric acid.
3. The remainder can be brought to a salvage yard or
metal reclamation facility for further dismantling.
