Troubleshooting (Walk-behind Trowel)
Symptom
possible problem
Solution
Engine running rough or not at all.
Engine ON/OFF Switch in "OFF" position 
or malfunctioning?
Make sure that the Engine ON/OFF Switch is ON 
or replace switch if necessary.
Centrifugal ON/OFF Switch in "OFF" 
position or malfunctioning?
Place centrifugal stop switch in "ON" position. 
Check wiring. Replace switch if necessary.
Fuel?
Look at the fuel system. Make sure there is fuel 
being supplied to the engine. Check to ensure that 
the fuel fi lter is not clogged.
Ignition?
Check to ensure that the ignition switch has power 
and is functioning correctly.
Loose wire connections
Check wiring. Replace or repair as necessary.
Bad contacts in ON/OFF switch?
Replace ON/OFF switch. 
Trowel bounces, rolls concrete, or makes 
uneven swirls in concrete.
Blades?
Make certain blades are in good condition, not 
excessively worn. Finish blades should measure 
no less than 2"" (50mm) from the blade bar to 
the trailing edge, combo blades should measure 
no less that 3.5"" (89mm). Trailing edge of blade 
should be straight and parallel to the blade bar.
Pitch adjustment?
Check that all blades are set at the same 
pitch angle as measured at the spider. A fi eld 
adjustment tool is available for height adjustment 
of the trowel arms. (Contact Parts Dept.)
Bent trowel arms?
Check the spider assembly for bent trowel arms. 
If one of the arms is even slightly bent, replace it 
immediately.
Spider?
Check fi t of arms in spider. This can be done by 
moving the trowel arms up and down. If there is 
more than 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) of travel at the tip of 
the arm, the spider and arms should be replaced. 
Thrust collar?
Check the fl atness of the thrust collar by rotating 
it on the spider. If it varies by more than 0.02 inch 
(0.5 mm) replace the thrust collar.
Thrust collar bushing?
Check the thrust collar by rocking it on the spider. 
If it can tilt more than 3/32 inch (2.4 mm) - as 
measured at the thrust collar O.D., replace the 
thrust collar.
Thrust bearing worn?
Check the thrust bearing to see that it is spinning 
freely.  Replace if necessary.
