Tow Bar to Mixer Connection
1. Insert the tow bar through the round opening at the bottom
of the mixer stand.
Align the hole on the tow bar with the hole on the mixer
frame, and insert 1/2-inch bolt through tow bar and frame.
Secure tow bar to frame with 1/2-inch nylock nut. Tighten
to 40 ft.-lbs.
2. Route the safety chain through the holes just above the
tow bar, located on each side of the mixer stand.
Loop the chain together and place under the tow bar.
Secure the loop with the connector link.
3. extend the safety chain along the length of the tow bar,
looping it through the tow bar's connector link. Remove
any excess chain slack.
4. Connect the free end of (clevis safety hook) the safety
chain to the towing vehicle. Remember it is critical that
the length of the chain be properly adjusted, to prevent
the
draw bar
and the front of the mixer stand from
dropping to the the ground (contact) in the event the
draw bar becomes disconnected from the towing vehicle.
NEVER! tow the mixer with the safety chain removed.
The safety chain is intended to prevent complete
separation of the mixer from the towing vehicle in the
event of a tow bar failure.
