OPERATION
Concrete Finishing Techniques
The following steps are intended as a basic guide to machine
operation, and are not to be considered a complete guide to
concrete finishing. We suggest that all operators (experienced
and novice) read "Slabs on Grade" published by the
American Concrete Institute, Detroit, Michigan. Read the
"Training" section of this manual for more information.
Pitching the Blades (Standard Handle)
To pitch the blades upwards using the "Standard" handle,
(Figure 11) simply turn the star-wheel clockwise. Turning the
star wheel counter clockwise will cause the blades to lay flat.
