Routine Service Intervals
The machine is generally run in very dusty conditions. Engine life will be extended by maintaining a
clean engine and using a proper dust control system. Keep the air filter clean at all times. Wash the
element in a non-oil based solvent. Squeeze out any residue and allow the filter to dry before
reinstalling the air cleaner. Some general maintenance guidelines will extend the useful life of your
trowel.
The initial service for your SPS Machine 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. The chart on page 6 (six) is handy for keeping a record of the maintenance performed and the parts
used for servicing your trowel.
Regular service according to the schedule above will prolong the life of the surface preparation system and
prevent expensive repairs.
Keeping your SPS Machine 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 SPS Machine 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 SPS 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 SPS Machines 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 SPS Machine not to change the
governed speed. Running the engine at lower rpm’s will cause the cutters to skip over the surface rather
than cut into it. It will create excessive “out-of-synch” vibrations resulting in poor surface results, handling,
maneuverability, and discomfort to the operator.
Failure to have your Surface Preparation System regularly serviced and properly maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions will lead to premature failure and void the warranty.
