brush any concrete or rust buildup. If any of the spider
components are found to be damaged or out of round,
replace them.
2. Make sure that the bronze trowel arm bushing is not
damage or out of round. Clean the bushing if necessary.
If the bronze bushing is damaged or worn, replace it.

bronze bushing already installed) using care to align
grease hole on bronze bushing with grease hole fitting
on spider plate.

INSTALLING PANS ONTO FINISHER BLADES
These round discs, sometimes referred to as "pans", attach
to the spiders arms and allow early floating on wet concrete
and easy movement from wet to dry areas. They are also
very effective in embedding large aggregates and surface
hardeners.
Refer to Figure 57 when installing pans onto finisher blades.
Figure 57. Z-Clip Finisher Pan Installation
1. Lift trowel just enough to slide pan under blades. Lower
finisher onto pan with blades adjacent to Z-Clips.
2. Rotate blades into position under Z-Clips. Ensure that
the blades are rotated in the direction of travel when
the machine is in operation or use the engine to rotate
the blades into position.
3. Attach the blade tie-downs to the far side of the Z-Clip
brackets with tie-down knobs as shown in Figure 57.
4. Check to make certain that the blade edges are
secured under the Z-Clips and the tie-downs are
secured completely over the edges of the blade bar
before the machine is put back into operation.
