QUALITY ASSURANCE/ MACHINE BREAK IN
The Bartell Walk-Behind Power Trowel is the product of extensive engineering
development designed to give long life and unmatched performance. The Walk-Behind Power
Trowels are Shipped Partially Assembled, and only require filling with fuel and a brief check of
lubricant levels in preparation for operation.
You can help ensure that your Power Trowel will perform at top levels by observing a
simple routing on first use. Consider that your new Power Trowel is like a new car. Just as you
would break in a new car to the road or any new machine to the job, you should start gradually
and build up to full use. Learn what your machine can do and how it will respond. Refer to the
engine manufacturer’s manual for run-in times. Full throttle and control may be used after this
time period, as allowed by material. This will serve to further break in the machine on your
specific application, as well as provide you with additional practice using the machine.
We thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing a Bartell Walk-
Behind Trowel and wish you many years of satisfied use.

ROUTINE SERVICE INTERVALS
Due to the nature and environment of use, Power Trowels could be exposed to severe
operating conditions. Some general maintenance guidelines will extend the useful life of your
trowel.
•The initial service for your power trowel should be performed after 25 hours of use, at
which time your mechanic (or authorized repair shop) should complete all of the
recommended checks in the schedule above.
•Regular service according to the schedule above will prolong the life of the Power Trowel
and prevent expensive repairs.
•Keeping your Power Trowel clean and free from debris is the single most important
regular maintenance operation, over and above the checks in the service schedule
above, that can be performed. After each use your Power Trowel should be cleaned to
remove any dust and debris from the undercarriage and surrounding components. Use
of a power washer will make clean up quick and easy, especially if a non-stick coating
was applied prior to use.
•In the Service Schedule above, items that should be checked, replaced or adjusted are
indicated by “o” in the appropriate column. Not all Power Trowel models include the
same features and options and as such not all service operations may have to be
performed. For ease of recording place a checkmark (√) through the “o” when the item
is complete. If an item is not required or not completed place an “x” through the “o” in the
box.
•All Power Trowels have governed engine speed of 3600 rpm. See engine manufacturer’s
manual for exact specifications. Care should be used when making any adjustments to
the Power Trowel not to change the governed speed.
•Failure to have your Power Trowel regularly serviced and properly maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions will lead to premature failure and void
the warranty.

Step 3: Install pitch control
cable to yoke and install
locknut loosely (Fig. 4). If
needed, turn pitch control knob
counter-clockwise until the
stop screw is at the lowest
position (Fig. 5).
Step 4: Lift and install handle to position using the supplied four sets of
lockwashers and nuts. Do not torque greater than 18ft-lb. At the yoke;
tighten the locknut for pitch control cable (Fig. 6). If the cable is too loose or
tight, the pitch control range position can be moved by changing the
position of the stop screw (Fig. 5). The factory default is the middle position.
Turn the pitch control knob completely clockwise and check for maximum
pitch possible. This is possible when the clearance between the yoke and
underside of the gearbox is enough to pass a business card through.
Step 5: Unwrap throttle control and engine safety
shut-off wires to prepare for their assembly. (Fig. 7
and 8)
Step 6: Remove air filter cover and
air filter. (Fig. 9)

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION (Floating)
When the slab has set sufficiently firm that the operator’s footprint leaves a very slight
depression on the surface of the slab, it is ready for the floating operation.
Guiding the machine on the slab is very simple, a slight upward lift of the handle causes the
machine to travel to the left. Holding the handle in the neutral position, will slowly cause the
machine to spin in one spot. Slight downward pressure on the handle causes the machine to
travel to the right. Best results are obtained by covering approximately 4” on each turn. In other
words, let the machine move right or left, backwards or forwards, approximately 4” with each
revolution of the trowels. To fill a hole or cut down a hump, move the unit back and forth over
the problem area.
Under normal operating conditions the machine should cover as much as 1000 sq. ft. in about
15 minutes. It is recommended that a slight tension on the trowel control cable, (but not a
definite tilt), during the floating operation will cause the machine to operate much smoother.
After the floated slab has set sufficiently, it is ready for the finishing operation.
OPERATION (Finishing)
When starting the finishing operation, never set the trowels up over 1/4” pitch. This is important.
Guiding the machine on the slab is very simple, a slight upward lift of the handle causes the
machine to travel to the left. Holding the handle in the neutral position, will slowly cause the
machine to spin in one spot. Slight downward pressure on the handle causes the machine to
travel to the right. Best results are obtained by covering approximately 4” on each turn. In other
words, let the machine move right or left, backwards or forwards, approximately 4” with each
revolution of the trowels. To fill a hole or cut down a hump, move the unit back and forth over
the problem area.
After the first pass over the slab, the waiting time between operations is determined in the same
manner as if you were hand troweling. To repeat; the entire application and action of the
troweling machine in regard to getting on the slab, and the correct pitch of the trowels, is
determined in the same manner as would be used by a cement finisher when troweling by
hand.
CAUTION: Do not let the machine stand in one spot on the soft cement. Lift from the
slab when the floating operation is complete.

WALK-BEHIND TROWELS OI –B19001
OWNER’S MANUAL
16
STARTING PROCEDURE: WARM CLIMATE
1. Open fuel valve on gas tank, the fuel valve lever should be in the ON position.
2. Set choke lever to closed position.
3. Throttle should be in fast idle position (Approx 1/3rd throttle)
4. Ensure the on/off switch on the engine is in the ON position. The centrifugal switch on
the handle should be in the run/on position. *Euro version: make sure safety switch is
engaged.
5. Start engine using the recoil start. Lightly pull on starter grip until resistance is felt, then
pull quickly and return grip to starting position.
6. Open choke slightly to prevent flooding.
7. Move choke to “Open” or “Run” position when engine is warm.
8. Using remote throttle lever on the handle increase throttle to maximum operation
position (3600 rpm).
STARTING PROCEDURE: COLD CLIMATE
Follow same procedure as above but allow longer warm-up period –3 to 5 minutes. In cold
weather, oil is much heavier to move and requires more time to work its way into the moving
parts. If maximum power is not attained, allow further warm-up time.
STOPPING PROCEDURE
1. Throttle engine down to idle.
2. Turn on/off switch to off position.
3. Turn fuel valve lever to off position.
Fill fuel tank with clean gasoline, use safety approved gas containers. DO NOT
MIX OIL WITH GASOLINE –USE UNLEADED GAS ONLY.

WALK-BEHIND TROWELS OI –B19001
OWNER’S MANUAL

LUBRICATION
1. ENGINE OIL
The long life and successful operation of any piece
of machinery is dependent on frequent and
thorough lubrication. Before using the trowel,
always check your engine for oil. Use proper engine oil as recommended in the engine
manufacturer’s manual. Fill crankcase to levels as recommended.
2. SPIDER PLATE - GREASE
There are 4 (four) grease fittings on the spider plate, each must be greased daily. THE
SPIDER PLATE MUST BE GREASED EVERY TIME MACHINE IS USED.
3. SPIDER PLATE –OIL BATH (B424/B430 Edger only)
The trowel arm on the spider plate does not require lubrication to be added every use.
However, the oil in the oil bath spider plate should be checked periodically and topped
up or changed if necessary.
4. HOW TO CHANGE OIL IN THE OIL BATH SPIDER PLATE (B424/B430 Edger only)
Step 1. First remove the set screw that holds the trowel arm into the spider plate
Step 2. Add oil through the set screw hole. Very little oil is needed.
Step 3. While rotating the trowel arm throughout its pitch direction, pull the trowel arm
about half to three quarters of the way out of the spider plate. This should be done about
half dozen times. Doing this releases any pressure that may have built up in the
chamber that holds the arm and the oil. The pressure will release through the oil grooves
and through the vacant bolt hole. Add oil if necessary.
Step 4. Push the trowel arm back into its proper location and re-install the set screw. The
trowel arm should move freely.
Step 5. Steps 1 to 4 should be repeated for remaining trowel arms.
5. GEARBOX (Except B424/B430 Edger)
Check the oil level sight plug on the gearbox daily to ensure the oil is half way on the site
glass. Top up with Agma 8 compounded gear oil only. Gearbox capacity 16 oz. to 19 oz.
(473ml. To 562ml.) Example: Esso/Exxon Cylesstic TK680, AGMA 8 or ISO 680
6. TO CHANGE GEARBOX OIL (Except B424/B430 Edger)
Place a pan beneath the drain plug to catch the oil. Remove the drain plug and the filler
plug from the gearbox. After the oil has drained completely, replace the drain plug and
tighten. Fill gearbox through the filler plug with 16 oz. to 19 oz. (473ml to 526ml) of
Agma 8 or ISO 680 compound gear oil. Replace the filler and tighten.
7. GEARBOX (B424/B430 Edger)
Check for oil leaks around gearbox. If necessary, remove drain plug from back of
gearbox to drain and refill with 10.1 oz. (0.3 L) of Shell Tivela Compound A or similar.
NOTE: THE LUBRICATION SYSTEM SHOULD BE CHECKED AT LEAST ONCE
PER MONTH TO ENSURE THAT THE UNIT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

STORAGE
The following steps should be taken to prepare your walk-behind trowel for extended storage.
1. Clean the exterior surfaces of the trowel.
2. Close fuel shut off valve.
3. Siphon excess gasoline from tank.
4. Start engine until it stops from lack of fuel. This will use up all the fuel in the carburetor
and prevent formation of deposits due to evaporation of fuel.
5. Store the unit in an upright position in a cool, dry, well ventilated area.
6. Refer to the engine manual for more information.
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining your Walk-Behind Power Trowel will ensure long life to the machine and its
components.
AIR CLEANER - Keep air filter clean at all times. Refer to engine manual.
LUBRICATION –Check engine oil regularly. Use proper engine oil as recommended. See
previous chart. Fill crankcase to levels as recommended in manufacture’s engine manual.
SPARK PLUG –Check and clean spark plugs regularly. A fouled or dirty spark plug causes
hard starting and poor engine performance. Set spark plug gap to recommended clearance.
Refer to engine manual.
BELT TENSION –IMPORTANT! When the engine is switched off, and the machine has
stopped, the normal belt play should be loose. This is due to the clutch type. When the
machine is running at full throttle, the clutch will close in, which tightens the belt causing the
gearbox to engage. When adjusting the belt make sure that the clutch is in alignment with
the follower pulley. Secure belt guard. Tighten all engine mount bolts, and tighten lock nuts.

FOLDING HANDLE
FOLDING PROCEDURE
To avoid damage to the folding handle or the pitch cable please follow the instructions below.
1. Turn the fine pitch knob counter clockwise to remove pitch from the blades.
2. Once the blades are flat, keep turning the knob counter clockwise until the stop screw
bottoms out in the slot. (see Fig 19)
3. Now that the cable has enough slack, remove the locking screw by turning it counter
clockwise and fold the handle slowly. Damage may occur if handle is dropped into
folding position.
4. Reinsert the locking screw when the handle is in the folded position, turn the locking
screw clockwise to secure in place. (See Fig 20)
5. Your handle is now folded and ready for transportation or storage.
UNFOLDING PROCEDURE
6. Follow the folding procedure but in reverse to return the handle into operating position.
Fig 19
Fig 20
IMPORTANT: IF THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SLACK IN THE PITCH CABLE, THE CABLE
WILL GET DAMAGED WHEN FOLDING. MAKE SURE THERE IS AS MUCH SLACK AS
POSSIBLE BY TURNING THE PITCH KNOB COUNTER CLOCKWISE COMPLETELY.

WALK-BEHIND TROWELS OI –B19001
OWNER’S MANUAL
20
TRANSPORTING
When transporting the trowel by human effort (carrying, sliding, etc.), always keep the handle
folded (if equipped) and the blades fully un-pitched to prevent damage to the pitch control
system.
When lifting from above via a crane, forklift, etc. always use the hoist hook. The hoist hook is an
optional feature that can be mounted to the engine or a feature built in to the folding handles.
Recommended Tie Down Points
Edger Trowel w/folding handle –Always make sure handle is folded and lock pin is installed
while transporting. The front carry handle and the rear carry handle can be used as tie down
points.
Edger Trowel w/rigid handle –The front carry handle and base of the handle can be used as tie
down points. Wrap the tie down strap around the base of the handle for best results.
