GENERAL
The MQ STOW Model MS30H (Honda GX240K1) gasoline
engine) and MS30E (electric motor) plaster and mortar mixers
are shipped completely assembled and have been factory tested.
The drum batch capacity of these mixers is between 3.5 and
4.0 bags. With proper care, they will give continuous service
year-after-year.
These mixers can be powered by either gasoline or electric
motors. The shaft of the engine or electric motor is connected to
a drive belt pulley which is attached to a main gear. As the main
