Figure 34. Belt Guard Inspection
BLADES
Inspect the trowel blades for wear or damage (Figure 35). If
one blade is worn out while the others look new, there could
be a blade pitch problem. Refer to the
Maintenance section
of this manual for the blade pitch adjustment procedure.
Replace any worn or damaged blades immediately.

V-BELT
1. Inspect the V-belt (Figure 33) to determine if it is frayed,
peeling, full of tiny cracks, has pieces of rubber missing,
or is otherwise damaged.
Figure 33. V-Belt Inspection
2. Inspect the V-belt (Figure 33) to determine if it is
oil-soaked or glazed (a hard, shiny appearance on the
sides of the belt). Either of these conditions can cause
overheating of the belt, which may weaken the belt and
increase the danger of it breaking.
3. Replace the V-belt immediately if any of the
aforementioned wear conditions are observed.
