Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after every use – Remove concrete dust, slurry and debris from blades, housing and maintenance stand to prevent buildup and corrosion and make next setup easier. Daily cleaning also avoids contaminating moving parts and engine components.
-
Inspect and tighten fasteners – Before each job, check nuts, screws, V‑belt and clutch linkages; tighten loose parts to maintain stability and smooth power transmission.
-
Check blade condition & adjustment – Inspect edge trowel blades for wear or damage; replace worn blades and adjust pitch/angle for consistent concrete surface finishing.
-
Maintain the engine – For petrol models, change engine oil, check air filter and spark plug per engine manufacturer recommendations to ensure reliable starts and power. (General best practice)
-
Lubricate pivot points – Grease blade shafts and other moving parts as recommended in the operator manual to reduce friction and wear over time.
-
Store dry and secure – After use, clean thoroughly and store in a dry, protected space; protect from moisture and dust to prolong product life.
