INSTALLING PANS ONTO FINISHER BLADES
These round discs, sometimes referred to as "pans", attach
to the spiders arms and allow early floating on wet concrete
and easy movement from wet to dry areas. They are also
very effective in embedding large aggregates and surface
hardeners.
Refer to Figure 29 when installing pans onto finisher blades.
Figure 29. Z-Clip Finisher Pan Installation
1. Lift trowel just enough to slide pan under blades. Lower
finisher onto pan with blades adjacent to Z-Clips.
2. Rotate blades into position under Z-Clips. Ensure that
the blades are rotated in the direction of travel when
the machine is in operation or use the engine to rotate
the blades into position.
CAUTION
NEVER store the ride-on trowel with fuel in the tank for
any extended period of time. Always clean up spilled
fuel immediately.
