OPERATION
- Preparation of Concrete Surface:
Use of a mechanical or air Vibrating Screed machine to strike the concrete surface to level will
provide good compaction to the slab and produce an ideal surface for finishing. It should be
remembered floating/finishing machines would not repair or correct a poorly screeded slab.
- Floating Operation:
Before attaching the floating disc, be sure the blades and blade disc are clean of any cement paste.
Before attaching the floating disc the trowel blades must be in the flat position.
When operating trowel machine to finish slab edges, commence the initial floating trowel and then
operate along the edges.
After each operation the engine should be stopped.
Never park the machine with the engine running; especially during the floating operation. Never lift the
machine by the rotating ring.

Maintenance Instructions
- Pitch Adjustment:
The blade pitch control is in easy reach of operator. The pitch adjustment has an unlimited pitch
variation and this can be undertaken whenever necessary. During finishing setting up/hardening may
vary from area across the floor, so the pitch adjustment can be changed to suit accordingly while the
machine is in operation.
