PAGE 14 — CA4HM WALK-BEHIND TROWEL — OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #3 (10/28/10)

CA4HM Trowel Familiarization

This walk-behind trowel is designed for the

floating

and

finishing

of concrete slabs.

Take a walk around the trowel. Take notice of all the major

components (see Figure 2) like the engine, blades, Quick Pitch™

handle, clutch lever, etc. Check that there is always oil in the

engine.

Read

all the safety instructions carefully. Safety instructions will

be found throughout this manual and on the trowel. Keep all

safety information in good, readable condition. Operators should

be well trained on the operation and maintenance of the trowel.

Before using your trowel, test it on a flat watered down section of

finished concrete that is free of any debris and other objects.

This trial test run will increase your confidence in using the trowel

and at the same time it will familiarize you with the trowel’s

controls. In addition you will understand how the trowel handles

under actual conditions.

Engine

This trowel is available with an 4 HP

HONDA

gasoline engine.

Refer to the engine owner’s manual for instructions regarding

the operation and maintenance of your engine. Please contact

your nearest Multiquip Dealer for a replacement should the

original manual disappear or otherwise become unusable.

Training

For proper training, please use the “TRAINING CHECKLIST”

located in the front of this manual (Page 8). This checklist will

provide an outline for an experienced operator to provide training

to a new operator

Blades

The blades of the trowel finish the concrete as they are rotated

around the surface. This trowel comes equipped with four

combination

(8 in./203mm wide) blades per rotor equally

spaced in a radial pattern and attached to vertical rotating

shaft by means of a

spider assembly.

Manual Clutch

In the event of a trowel runaway condition (operator releases

the handle), a

manual clutch

will stop the engine and bring

the trowel to a halt.

Drive System

Power is transferred from the engine to the gearbox input shaft

via a V-belt pulley drive system. The pulley engages using a

manual clutch. See Parts section of this manual.

Gearbox

The

gearbox

is located beneath the engine and transfers power

to the

spider

assembly. The gearbox controls the rotational speed

of the trowel and is equipped with two shafts (input and output).

Guard Ring

This unit is equipped with a special rotating guard ring. It is

designed to allow the operator to run the machine alongside

walls, pipes, and obstructions without marring the surface.

Operate the CA4HM Trowel, tools and components in

accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Use of any

other tools for stated operation is considered contrary to

designated use. The risk of such use lies entirely with the user.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages as a result

of misuse.

Intended Use

Spider

The vertical output shaft of the gearbox connects to a cast hub

called the

spider

. The spider has 4 arms that extend outward

that are used for attachment of blades or other accessories.

Remember as the gearbox output shaft rotates so does the spider

assembly.
