Smart Pitch™ Mode
Smart Pitch
is activated by pressing the switch to the
TM
right, locked position.
When the Twin Pitch switch is pressed (up or down),
the right and left rotor pitch changes. When the operator
achieves the desired pitch on the right blades and releases
the Twin Pitch switch, the left pitch will synchronize with the
right blades. The Pitch Mode light will flash (0.1s ON, 0.1s
OFF) during synchronization.
The Pitch Mode light will remain ON when both rotors are
synchronized.
Left Pitch switch activation changes the left rotor pitch while
the right rotor pitch remains constant. The Pitch Mode light
turns off during desynchronization. Momentary Twin Pitch
switch activation re-synchronizes pitch.
Smart Pitch is disabled to prevent the pitch system from
TM
hunting and the Pitch Mode light will remain ON when left
and right pitch position are above calibration points.
Manual Pitch Mode
Manual Pitch is activated by pressing the switch to the
left, unlocked position.
The Pitch Mode light will remain OFF.
Twin Pitch switch activation changes left and right rotor
pitch simultaneously, but non-synchronously.
Left Pitch switch activation changes left rotor pitch while
the right rotor pitch remains constant.
Panning Mode
Panning Mode is activated by pressing and holding the
Twin Pitch switch and Left Pitch switch in the down position
for 10 seconds. Deactivate by pressing and holding the
switches in the up direction.
Pitch systems are retracted. This deactivates the pitch
system and allows the blades to float.
The Pitch Mode light will flash (0.9s ON, 0.1s OFF).
NOTICE
For installation of float pans, refer to the maintenance
section Installing Float Pans.

REMOVING THE TROWEL FROM A CONCRETE PAD
Care should be taken to not damage a concrete pad surface
while removing the trowel from the pad. This will require
at least two people—one to operate the forklift and one to
carefully rotate the blades.
WARNING
Removal of the trowel from concrete requires two people.
NEVER attempt to perform this procedure alone!
WARNING
DO NOT place any part of your body between the
forklift and the trowel. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
may result.
1. Carefully attach a forklift to the trowel as shown in the
Lifting and Transporting section of this manual.
2. Without sitting in the operator's seat, press and
hold either drive bypass rocker switch (Figure 31) and
press the foot pedal (by hand) to slowly rotate the
trowel blades.
