Before adjusting the blade speed is sure to review the technical information document titled
"Checking Blade Speed" for the correct procedure and current blade speed specifications.
Because the two hydraulic drive motors operate independent of each other, the trowel speed
between them may vary. If the unit's steering is difficult to control, or if one spider is spinning
noticeably faster or slower than the other, the trowel speed may need to be checked. It is
also recommended that the trowel speed be checked at least once a year. Trowel speed
adjustment is a two-step process. First, the left side should be checked and/or adjusted.
Second, the right side should be adjusted to match the left.

STEP 1: LEFT SIDE TROWEL SPEED ADJUSTMENT

The left side trowel speed is adjusted by the set bolt located under the operator's platform
(Item A, Figure 1) and accessed by opening the storage panel door. Backing the set screw
out decreases the left side trowel speed; screwing it inward increases the speed. Check the
blade speed with the foot pedal fully depressed and the engine at FULL RPM.
