ELECTRIC MOTOR SAFETY
For maintenance care and operation of the electric motor, refer to your electric motor instruction booklet furnished with the electric motor. Protect the electric motor from dust as much as possible and keep
ventilating openings clean. Before plugging in the machine, make sure that the outlet voltage is within
the voltage marked on the machines's data plate.
CAUTION
DO NOT spray water on the electric motor. DO NOT touch the plug with wet hands. To reduce
the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.
DO NOT operate electric motor in an explosive environment.
WARNING
Use only extensions cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identied
by a marking, “Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors while not in use.” Use only
extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cords before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse
extension cords and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Always disconnect the extension cord
from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
Electric Motor Connection
ALWAYS make certain that the power source required for the electric motor is correct and always
use the correct NEMA conguration plug. Motors can burn out when the line voltage falls 10% below
the voltage rating of the motor. Failure to use proper voltage will cause the motor to overheat. Make
certain that the correct size grounded (3-wires) extension cord is used.
WARNING
Use of undersized extension cords result in low voltage to the motor that can result in motor burnout
and premature failure. Canoga Equipment warns that equipment returned to us showing signs of being run in a low voltage condition, through the use of undersized extension cords,will be repaired or
replaced totally at the customer’s expense. There will be no warranty claim.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In order to prevent electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols
should be followed at all times!
WARNING
In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord which has an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• DO NOT modify the plug provided - if it will not t the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
• Improper connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The equipment-grounding conductor is the insulated conductor that has an outer
surface that is green, with or without yellow stripes. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
• Check with a qualied electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.
• Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one shown in Sketch A.
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A. A temporary adapter,
which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualied electri-
cian. The green-colored rigid ear, plug, and the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected
to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box.

193 SERIES CONCRETE MIXER SAFETY
WARNING
To avoid the possibility of the appliance or plug receptacle getting wet, position the machine to one
side of a wall mounted receptacle. This will prevent water from dripping into the receptacle or plug. A
"drip loop," shown in the picture below, should be arranged by the user to properly position the power
cord relative to the power source. Use the drip loop as a way to prevent GFCI and plug from getting
wet.
The "drip loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle (or the connector, if an extension cord is used). This method of positioning the cord prevents the travel of water along the power
cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
If the plug or receptacle gets wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker
that supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

the mixer towing components and the towing vehicle are in good operating condition and both units are
mechanically sound.
towing your mixer.
CAUTION
Make sure that the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than
the trailer “gross vehicle weight rating” (GVWR).
If the mixer tow bar is deformed or damaged replace entire tow bar. NEVER tow the mixer with
a defective tow bar. There exists the possibility of the trailer separating from the towing vehicle.
ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER tow the mixer with defective hitches, cou-
plings, chains etc.
CHECK the tire air pressure on both the towing vehicle and the trailer. Also check the tire tread wear
on both vehicles.
ALWAYS make sure the mixer is equipped with a “Safety Chain”.
ALWAYS attach trailer’s safety chain to the frame of towing vehicle.
ALWAYS make sure that the towing vehicle’s directional, backup, and brake lights are working
properly.
The following safety should be used when towing the mixer
Remember in most cases the maximum speed unless otherwise posted for highway towing is
45 MPH, however before towing your mixer, check your local state, and county vehicle towing
requirements. Recommended off-road towing is not to exceed 10 MPH or less depending on
type of terrain.
When towing of the mixer is required, place the drum in the DOWN position (mouth facing
DOWN).
ALWAYS make sure that the fuel valve lever is in the OFF position.
Check wheel mounting lug nuts with a torque wrench. Torque wheel lug nuts as described in
the maintenance section of this manual.
Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause skidding, or jackkning.
Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.

193 SERIES CONCRETE MIXER OPERATION
TOWING GUIDELINES
Tow Bar to Vehicle Connection (Coupler Only)
Check the vehicle hitch ball, and mixer’s coupler for signs of wear or damage. Replace any parts that
are worn or damaged before towing.
Use only a 2-inch ball diameter (towing vehicle), this will match the mixer’s 2-inch coupler. Use of any
other ball diameter will create an extremely dangerous condition which can result in separation of the
coupler and ball or ball failure.
After tow bar has been connected to mixer, attach mixer’s coupler to the hitch ball on the towing
vehicle securely and make sure the lock lever is in tight.
Mixer Tow Bar Vehicle Connection (Pintle & Loop)
Make sure the bumper on the towing vehicle is equipped to handle either a pintle or loop type tow bar
conguration.
After tow bar has been connected to mixer, secure either type of tow bar to the towing vehicle,
following state and county towing regulations.
As a minimum, use a 1/2-inch bolt and nylock nut grade 5 when securing either tow bar to the towing
vehicle.
23
Page 24
193 SERIES CONCRETE MIXER OPERATION
SAFETY CHAIN CONNECTION
CAUTION
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. Reference the gure below for the installation of the Safety
Chain.
Tow Bar to Mixer Connection
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.
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.
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.
Connect the free end of the safety chain (clevis safety hook) 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.

If the towing vehicle is equipped with a ball socket, smear socket periodically with multi-purpose
grease. This will keep the ball socket well lubricated.
When parking or storing your mixer. Keep the coupler off the ground so dirt will not build up in the
ball socket.
Grease Fittings (Zerk) Maintenance (Mixer)
There are 2 grease ttings that will require lubrication. Lubricate these ttings once a week.
Use lithium base grease, grade No.1.

Use Poleyrex EM (Exxon Mobil) or equalivant lubricant. Clean grease tting, apply grease gun to
tting (1/2 shot). Remember too much grease or injecting grease too quickly can cause premature
bearing failure. Slowly apply the recommended amount of grease, taking a minute or so to apply.
Wheel Bearings
After every 3 months of operation, remove the hub dust cap and inspect the wheel bearings. Once
a year, or when required, disassemble the wheel hubs remove the old grease and repack the bearings forcing grease between rollers, cone and cage with a good grade of high speed wheel bearing
grease (never use grease heavier than 265 A.S.T.M. penetration (“No. 2.”)
Fill the wheel hub with grease to the inside diameter of the outer races and also ll the hub grease
cap. Reassemble the hub and mount the wheel. Then tighten the adjusting nut, at the same time turn
the wheel in both directions, until there is a slight bind to be sure all the bearing surfaces are in contact.
Then back-off the adjusting nut 1/6 to 1/4 turn or to the nearest locking hole or sufciently to allow the
wheel to rotate freely within limits of .001” to .010” end play. Lock the nut at this position. Install the cotter pin and dust cap, and tighten all hardware.
Mixer Cleaning
Always wash drum out after each use.
NEVER pour or spray water over the gas engine.

Tires/Wheels/Lug Nuts
Tires and wheels are a very important and critical components of the trailer. When specifying or replacing the trailer wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle are properly matched.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a wheel. DO NOT install an inter-tube to correct a leak
through the rim. If the rim is cracked, the air pressure in the inter-tube may cause pieces of
the rim to explode (break-off) with great force and can cause serious eye or bodily injury.
Tire Wear/Ination
Tire ination pressure is the most important factor in tire life. Pressure should be checked cold before
operation. DO NOT bleed air from tires when they are hot. Check ination pressure weekly during use
to insure the maximum tire life and tread wear.
The Tire Wear Troubleshooting table will help pinpoint the causes and solutions of tire wear problems.
CAUTION
NOTE: ALWAYS wear safety glasses when removing or installing force tted parts.
Failure to comply may result in serious injury.

Lug Nut Torque Requirements
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel mounting torque on the trailer. Be sure
to use only the fasteners matched to the cone angle of the wheel. Proper procedure for attachment of
the wheels is as follows:
NOTICE NEVER use an pneumatic air gun to tighten wheel lug nuts.
Start all wheel lug nuts by hand using a Torque Wrench.
Torque all lug nuts in sequence. DO NOT torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down.
Tighten each lug nut in 3 separate passes as dened by Troubleshooting table. After rst road use,
retorque all lug nuts in sequence. Check all wheel lug nuts periodically.

Mixer Storage
For storage of the mixer for over 30 days, the following is recommended:
Drain the fuel tank completely, or add STA-BIL to the fuel.
Run the engine until the fuel is completely consumed.
Completely drain used oil from the engine crankcase and ll with fresh clean oil, then follow the
procedures described in the engine manual for engine storage.
Clean the entire mixer and engine compartment.
Place the mixing drum in the down position (mouth facing downward).
Cover the mixer and place it a clean dry area, that is protected from harsh elements.
