7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help ensure the long and trouble-free life of your LTM power
trowel.
7.1. General maintenance
Please note: Do not let concrete residue harden on the machine. After use, remove dirt and
concrete residue from the machine immediately. Use a brush or a broom to remove dirt and
concrete residue. After cleaning the machine, the trowel arms and blades must be coated in
bond breaker oil. This prevents rust and makes the cleaning of these parts easier.
Warning: Never use a high-pressure system or water jet to clean an LTM power trowel.
7.2. Cleaning and maintenance of petrol-engine power trowels
Daily maintenance
1) For the engine to cool effectively, the ventilation gaps must be free of oil and dirt. Check
this at the end of every working day.
2) If necessary, clean the ventilation gaps using a brush or damp cloth.
3) For the carburettor regulation mechanism to work effectively, check it for any possible
pollution , f.e. concrete residue, after every use. If necessary, clean the mechanism using
a brush or damp cloth (specific LTM600B).
4) Check the engine oil level. If necessary, fill the oil reservoir to the uppermost mark on the
dipstick (specific LTM600B).
5) Check the gearbox oil level by unscrewing the inspection plug on the side of the gearbox.
The oil should be on the same level as the inspection plughole. If necessary, fill with ISO
680 gearbox oil.
6) Check the performance of the blade angle adjustment mechanism.
7) Check the performance of the safety switch
Maintenance after approximately 20 hours of use (Specific LTM600B)
1) For maintenance on the Honda engine please refer to the Honda workshop manual that
was provided with the LTM.
Maintenance after approximately 50 hours of use.
1) For maintenance on the Honda engine please refer to the Honda workshop manual that
was provided with the LTM.
2) Thoroughly check the drive belt and the centrifugal clutch (specific LTM600B).
3) Change the engine oil (SAE 15 W 30) (specific LTM600B).
4) Check the trowel blades for wear.
Long-term storage
1) Remove the sparkplug and pour 5cc of new motor oil into the sparkplug hole. Pull the
starter cord a few times and replace the sparkplug (specific LTM600B).
2) Pull on the starter cord until the piston creates compression (specific LTM600B).
3) Spread a thin layer of motor oil on the engine’s surface using an oil-soaked cloth (specific
LTM600B).
4) Store the power trowel in a clean, dry area.
