Blades are a vital part of finishing concrete. This trowel,
or finisher, has been designed to finish concrete and the
blades are built to stringent quality standards out of the
finest steel.
If you need replacement blades, consult the parts list in
this manual for part numbers and order them from your
Multiquip parts dealer or importer.
combo blades
This trowel is equipped with combination float/finish (Figure
36) blades as original equipment. These blades have been
designed for optimum performance in both the floating and
finishing operations. These blades are versatile and should
take care of most troweling needs.
Figure 36. Combination Blade
Finish Blades (Optional)
These blades (Figure 37) have been specifically designed
for finish operations with this trowel. They will provide a
premium surface finishing capability from your trowel. They
should only be used after the concrete has set to the point
where the trowel does not sink into the concrete when
placed on it.
Figure 37. Finish Blade
NOTICE
Trowel blades should be changed when they fail to finish
concrete in a satisfactory manner.
Clip-On Float Blades (Optional)
These blades will clip (Figure 38) onto an existing installed
blade, allowing your finisher to float on “wet” concrete so
that the troweling operation can begin as early as possible.
These blades are easily removable, so that after the floating
operation, when the concrete is sufficiently cured, they can
be removed to expose the finish blades for continued
troweling.

Float Discs (Optional)
These round discs (Figure 39) attach to the spiders and
allow the machine to “float” on “wet” concrete. The disc
design allows early floating and easy movement from wet
to dry areas. They are also very effective in embedding
large aggregates and surface hardeners.

NOTICE
For optimum panning performance blade speed must
be changed. Use Low Speed Kit. Reference Engine
