Figure 3 shows the location of the basic trowel components.
A brief explanation of each component is listed below.
1. Lift Handles — Grasp the lift handles to lift the trowel
with two people.
2. Engine — Honda 4.8-horsepower (3.6 kW) gasoline
engine. Refer to Table 2 for engine specifications.
3. Lifting Bail — Attach a suitable lifting device to the
lifting bail whenever lifting of the trowel is required.
4. Pitch Control Star Wheel — Adjusts blade pitch.
Rotate the star wheel clockwise to pitch the blades
upward. Rotate the star wheel counterclockwise to
pitch the blades flat (no pitch).
5. Throttle Lever — Controls engine speed.
6. Hand Grip — ALWAYS place hands on both hand
grips when maneuvering the trowel. Replace hand
grips when they become worn or damaged.
7. Handlebar Pad — Foam rubber pad protects the body
when coming into contact with the vibratory handlebar.
8. Vibratory Handlebar — Rubber shock mounts/
isolators reduce trowel vibration.
9. Handlebar Adjuster — Change the angle or height of
the handlebar by loosening the star wheel. Adjust the
handlebar to the desired position, then tighten the star
wheel firmly to secure the handlebar in place.
10. Centrifugal Safety Stop Switch — Will stop the
engine and bring the trowel to a halt in the event of a
trowel runaway condition (i.e. the operator releases the
handlebar during operation).
11. V-Belt Cover — Remove this cover to gain access to
the V-belt. NEVER operate the trowel with this cover
removed.

COMPONENTS (TROWEL)
12. 30" Guard Ring Assembly — Consists of a 30" guard
ring, bumper ring, and bumper. Prevents blade contact
with boundaries (i.e. walls) when finishing surface
edges in the 30" configuration. NEVER place hands or
feet inside the guard ring while the engine is running.
13. 36" Guard Ring — Consists of six fastened guard ring
segments that cover the trowel blades and support the
36" bumper and bumper ring. Can be removed and
reinstalled without being fully disassembled. NEVER
place hands or feet inside the guard ring while the
engine is running.
14. 36" Bumper — Prevents blade contact with boundaries
(i.e. walls) when finishing surface edges.
15. 36" Bumper Ring — Supports the 36" bumper.
16. Blades (4) — Versatile 8" × 14" combination blades
will satisfy most troweling needs. Additional 8" × 10.5"
blades are included for use with the 30" guard
ring configuration.
17. Trowel Arms (4) — Blades or float discs are attached
to the trowel arms. NEVER operate the trowel with a
bent, broken, or out-of-adjustment trowel arm.
18. Gearbox — Helical worm gear drive gearbox rotates
the trowel blades via engine interface. ALWAYS check
the gearbox oil level (sight glass) prior to each use. Fill
with Mobil SHC™ 634 gearbox oil as needed.
19. Quick Pitch™ Control Handle (Optional) — To
adjust the pitch of the blades upward using the Quick
Pitch™ handle, simply pull the T-handle backward while
squeezing the trigger. Push the T-handle forward to pitch
the blades flat (no pitch). Contact Multiquip unit sales
to purchase this option.
