4.5 Installing and Adjusting Handles

See Graphic 3,4
On new machines the pipe handle comes assembled with the pitch control (Twist or Pro-
Shift®) (c), engine switch handle (b), throttle (a), screws (g), and nut (m).
To install the pipe handle assembly:
4.5.1 On machines with an adjustable handle, position the handle by loosening the knob
(d) and adjusting the handle up or down to suit the operator. Tighten the knob to
secure the handle in position.
4.5.2 Pull the pitch control cable (j) from bottom end of the tube and remove the nut from
the cable.
4.5.3 Thread the cable through the handle base (f) and over the pulley (h) as shown.
4.5.4 Attach the pipe handle to the handle base with two M8x65 screws (g). Torque the
screws to 25 Nm (18 ft·lbs.).
4.5.5 Push the handle all the way forward (away from the operator) OR turn the twist pitch
control handle counterclockwise as far as possible. Connect the cable to the fork
(k) as shown and adjust the cable nut (m) so the cable is snug and the trowel blades
lay flat (0° pitch).
4.5.6 Move throttle (a1) to idle position. Remove air cleaner cover. Feed cable through
clamp on recoil cover. Connect throttle cable to engine throttle bracket by placing
z-bend through hole in throttle plate. Clamp cable into throttle casing bracket and
replace air cleaner cover.
4.5.7 Connect electrical wire on handle to both ends of the engine wire. See handle
instruction sheet for additional detail on installation.
Note: On machines with the engines, do not connect wires in bag to wires in handle.
WARNING: Do not lift the trowel overhead with a float pan
attached, as the pan could fall off and strike personnel working
