1. Quick Pitch™ Control Handle – To adjust the pitch of
the blades, grasp the handle then squeeze and either move
the handle forward or backward to achieve the desired
blade pitch.
2. Throttle Control Lever – Controls the speed of the engine.
Move the hand lever towards the operator to increase
engine speed (high), away from the operator to decrease

control of the trowel, this switch will shut-down the engine.
5. Engine – This trowel uses Honda, Robin and Briggs and
Stratton type gasoline engines.
6. Auxiliary Lifting Tube - Use this tube to lift the trowel onto
a slab. Tube is to be inserted into socket located in front of
the gearbox.
7. Pitch Control (standard models) - Turn this "Star Wheel"
clockwise for increase blade pitch, and counter-clockwise
for decrease blade pitch.
8. Clutch Lever - Clutch engagement lever. When this lever
is engaged, the blades will begin to rotate. May be used
with either Quick Pitch™ or Standard handle.
