1.15 Lift Lever Adjustment
Damage to or replacement of a trowel arm can change
the adjustment of the lift lever. This can unbalance the
trowel arms and cause the trowel to wobble during oper-
ation. To operate smoothly the lift lever on all arms must
be adjusted the same to ensure that the trowel is bal-
anced correctly. Adjust trowel arms using optional trow-
el arm jig as described below.
NOTE: Make sure that there is no pitch in the
blades before attempting to remove a
trowel arm.
