Handle Height Adjustment
If handle height adjustment is desired, a handle wedge kit can be
purchased for your trowel by ordering P/N 2576 from your Multiquip
dealer. These wedges are placed between the handle and the
gearbox to adjust the operating height of the handle. This kit
comes complete with wedges, new bolts and installation
instructions. This will move your operating handle position up or
down approximately 3” (76 mm).
