TOWING & SAFETY CHAINS:
For transporting the mixer, slide the tow pole out as far as possible and insert the locking
pin. When operating the mixer, slide the tow pole in and lock it in place.
Make sure drum is locked in position and engine housing is closed and secured.
Cross the safety chains under the tow pole and fasten them to the tow vehicle. (fig.1)
NOTE! Safety chain length may need to be altered for proper connection to
tow vehicle. Reposition the hooks, DO NOT cut chain.
Allow enough slack to permit proper vehicle turning while keeping chains snug enough
to prevent tow pole from contacting the ground in case the hitch uncouples.
PRIOR TO START UP:
1. Examine the mixer carefully to make sure there was no damage during shipment
or since the last use. Report any damage immediately to the transportation
company. Repair any damage before using the mixer.
2. Check for free rotation of the mixer drum yoke by rotating the drum through one
complete dump-charge-dump cycle. Make sure no foreign objects or tools are in
the drum before starting the motor.
3. Check the engine oil. Fill as required. Refer to the engine manual for oil
specifications.
4. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean fuel. Refer to the engine manual for fuel
specifications.
5. Grease all fittings as called out in the lubrication specifications.
6. Start the motor and check for smooth operation of the drum, ring gear, and pinion.
Note: After initial 10 hours of operations, check chain/belts for proper tension and
sprockets/pulleys for alignment. Check these items monthly to prevent premature
wear/failure.
LUBRICATION
Use lithium based grade 2 multi-purpose grease.
Drum Shaft Tube:
Drum shaft lubrication can be performed by removing the 1/8” pipe plug (item 4, fig3)
and installing the appropriate grease fitting. Greasing should be done yearly.
Yoke Bearing Hangers:
Yoke bearing hangers are located on the yoke ends and are equipped with grease fittings.
These bearings should be greased weekly.
Wheel Bearings:
Grease wheel bearings once per year. Thoroughly remove old grease from bearings and
spindle before repacking. Pack bearings ½ to 2/3 full to prevent overheating.
