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 your trowel's parts manual for part numbers
and order from your Multiquip parts dealer or importer.
COMBO BLADES (STANDARD)
This trowel is equipped with combination float/finish blades
(Figure 55), which provide optimum performance for both
floating and finishing operations. These versatile blades
should accomodate most troweling needs.
Figure 55. Combination Blade
FINISH BLADES (OPTIONAL)
Finish blades (Figure 56) are specifically designed for
finishing operations, and provide premium surface finishing
capability. Finish blades should only be used after the
concrete has dried enough to prevent the trowel from
sinking into the concrete when placed on it.
Figure 56. Finish Blade
CLIP-ON FLOAT BLADES (OPTIONAL)
Clip-on float blades (Figure 57) are easily installed onto
existing finish blades for floating purposes. They are easily
removed once floating is complete so that finishing can be
started immediately.

FLOAT DISCS (OPTIONAL)
Float discs, or pans (Figure 53), 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
for embedding large aggregates and surface hardeners.

FRESNO BRUSHES
The fresno brush is a useful component for finishing
concrete. It provides a textured or decorative look using the
sides of the brush bristles, not the ends. There are three
different fresno brushes compatible with this unit, color-
coded for texture (stiffness): black (soft), orange (medium),
and green (stiff).
Fresno brushes should be replaced when they fail to finish
concrete in a satisfactory manner. If a replacement brush is
needed, or a different concrete finish is desired, refer to the
parts manual included with your trowel for part numbers,
and order from your Multiquip parts dealer or importer.
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 59.
