Multiquip 45498 Lever Speed Control MRX - OEM Replacement Part for Ride-On Trowels

The lever speed control is a critical hydraulic actuation component that connects the foot pedal to the pump system, enabling precise blade speed control on Multiquip ride-on trowels. This lever works in conjunction with the connecting rod assembly to translate foot pedal pressure into hydraulic pump adjustments, allowing operators to vary blade speed from slow initial finishing passes to maximum speed for final concrete surface preparation.

In Multiquip ride-on trowel systems, the speed control lever is part of the pump actuation mechanism that operates independently for each hydraulic drive motor. Proper function of this lever is essential for maintaining balanced trowel speed between both spiders and ensuring responsive steering control. If steering becomes difficult or one spider spins noticeably faster or slower than the other, the speed control system—including this lever—may require inspection or adjustment. Multiquip recommends checking trowel speed adjustment at least once annually as part of routine maintenance.

Compatible with the following Multiquip models:
