PRO SERIES WALK-BEHIND TROWELS • OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #0 (9/21/17) — PAGE 29
Float Disc Installation (Optional)
Float discs, or pans, attach to the trowel blades and allow
the trowel to “float” on wet concrete. The disc design allows
early floating and easy movement from wet to dry areas.
Float discs are also very effective for embedding large
aggregates and surface hardeners.
Installing Float Discs with Z-Clips
Refer to Figure 27 when installing pans onto trowel blades
using Z-clips.
Figure 27. Float Disc Installation (Z-Clips)
1. Lift the trowel just enough to slide pans under the
blades. Lower the trowel onto the pans with the blades
adjacent to the Z-clips.
2. Rotate the blades into position under the Z-clips. Be
sure to rotate the blades in the operational direction
of travel, or use the engine to rotate the blades into
position.
3. Secure the blade tie-downs to the far side of the Z-clip
brackets with the tie-down knobs.
4. Make sure the blade edges are secured under the
Z-clips, and the tie-downs are secured completely over
the edges of the blade bar.

Installing Float Discs with Latch Pins
Refer to Figure 28 when installing pans onto trowel blades
using latch pins.
Figure 28. Float Disc Installation (Latch Pins)
1. Lift the trowel just enough to slide pans under the
blades. Lower the trowel onto the pans with the blades
between the blade stops.
2. Fit the blades between the blade stops. Be sure to
rotate the blades in the operational direction of travel,
or use the engine to rotate the blades into position.
3. Route the latch pins through the blade stop holes.
Make sure the blade edges are secured between the blade
stops, and the latch pins are secured completely over the
blades.
