ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Your new Bartell Walk-Behind Power Trowel has been
shipped to you partially assembled. Filling the fuel tank
and a brief check of lubricant levels in preparation for
operation is required. To complete the assembly the
following instructions will be helpful.
1. TROWELS – Attach trowel blades with screws and
lock washers supplied. See (A) and (B) Fig. 1. Be
careful that adjusting screw (C) does not protrude
below arm when attaching blades. This could cause
the machine to jump and promote excessive wear in
operation.
2. STABILIZER RING – (if supplied) Install using
screws, bushings and lock washers supplied. See
Fig. 1 (D)
3. HANDLE ASSEMBLY – Put cable end Fig. 2 (A)
through hole in yoke (B) and secure with nut (C),
then install handle bracket on gearbox. To get
proper cable tension, turn control knob Fig. 3,
counter-clockwise to stop position. Guide screw (B)
will now be at the bottom slot. Tighten nut Fig. 4 (A)
until slack is removed from point (B) as indicated. If
more than 2 or 3 threads show through, then nut
should be turned back.
Guide screw, Fig. 3 (B) should be moved to next
lower hole in slide bushing and cable re-adjusted as
above. Turn hand knob completely clockwise and
check for clearance between yoke and gearbox at
point (C) Fig. 4. There should be enough space to
pass a business card through.

handle with screws provided. See DIAGRAM 1 below
for your engine model hook-up. For safety switch
connection, attach wire to terminal provided at
"ON/OFF" location.
The throttle cable must be cut and formed to fit. Feed
the cable through the cable clamp on the engine. Pull
the cable through the clamp until it forms a smooth
arc from the handle to the engine. Mark the cable at
the clamp and pull the cable back from the casing at
the throttle. Without cutting the cable, Cut casing at
the mark and push the cable back through fresh cut
end. Form a small "L" bend in the cable, hook the
inner cable into the throttle block and tighten cable
clamp down onto the casing. With thumb lever and
throttle block in the fully open position, cut the inner
cable by the thumb lever, leaving enough wire
exposed to secure to the lever. Insert the cable into
the fitting and tighten the screw. Restore throttle to
idle position.
IMPORTANT:
Before running machine with belt installed, ensure
that engine idles properly and that the safety -switch
shuts off the engine.
