FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS!

Safety precautions should be followed at all times when
operating this equipment. Failure to read and understand the
Safety Messages and Operating Instructions could result in
injury to yourself and others.

This Owner's Manual has been
developed to provide complete

NOTE

instructions for the safe and
efficient operation of the Multiquip

MIX N' GO MIXER Models

HAZARD SYMBOLS

SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS

The three (3) Safety Messages shown below will inform you
about potential hazards that could injure you or others. The
Safety Messages specifically address the level of exposure to
the operator, and are preceded by one of three words: DANGER,

WARNING, or CAUTION.

Lethal Exhaust Gases

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless and

odorless, and can cause death if inhaled.
NEVER operate this equipment in a confined

area or enclosed structure that does not
provide ample free flow air.

Explosive Fuel

GASOLINE is extremely flammable, and its
vapors can cause an explosion if ignited. DO
NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or

combustible fluids. DO NOT fill the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot. DO NOT
overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it
comes into contact with hot engine parts or
sparks from the ignition system. Store fuel in

approved containers, in well-ventilated areas
and away from sparks and flames. NEVER
use fuel as a cleaning agent.

DANGER: You WILL be KILLED or

SERIOUSLY injured if you do not follow
directions.

WARNING: You CAN be KILLED or

SERIOUSLY injured if you do not follow
directions.

CAUTION: You CAN be injured if you

do not follow directions.

Potential hazards associated with the MIX N' GO MIXER
operation will be referenced with Hazard Symbols which appear
throughout this manual, and will be referenced in conjunction
with Safety Message Alert Symbols.

Burn Hazards

Engine components can generate extreme heat.
To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas
while the engine is running or immediately after
operations. Never operate the engine with heat
shields or heat guards removed.

Rotating Parts

NEVER operate equipment with covers, or

guards removed. Keep fingers, hands, hair and
clothing away from all moving parts to prevent
injury.

MIX N' GO MIXER — BASIC ENGINE

Figure 5. Engine Controls and Components

INITIAL SERVICING

The engine (Figure 5) must be checked for proper lubrication and
filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers engine
manual for instructions and details of operation and servicing. The
engine shown above is a HONDA engine, operation for other
types of engines may vary somewhat.

1. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded

gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened
securely. DO NOT over fill.

DANGER

Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when
the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to

cool down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT
attempt to start the engine until the fuel residue has been completely
wiped up, and the area surrounding the engine is dry.

2. Fuel Tank – Holds unleaded gasoline. For additional

information refer to engine owner's manual.

7. Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering
the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter
cannister to gain access to filter element.

8. Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in
cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel
mixture.

NOTE

9. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set
spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.024 - 0.028 inch) Clean
spark plug once a week.

10. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.

11. Oil Drain Plug – Remove this plug to remove oil from the
engine's crankcase.

12. Dipstick/Oil Filler Cap – Remove this cap to determine if
the engine oil is low. Add oil through this filler port as
recommended in Table 4.

Operating the engine without an air
filter, with a damaged air filter, or a
filter in need of replacement will
allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear.

WARNING

Engine components can generate extreme heat.

To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas
while the engine is running or immediately after
operating. NEVER operate the engine with the
muffler removed.

MIX N' GO MIXER — ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Assembly

1. Remove the mixer drum and associated components from
the packing container (Figure 6). Match the components
against the parts list to make sure that they are all accounted
for.

Figure 6. Packing Container

2. Place the mixer frame on a secure level surface, and attach
the top cover as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 8. Mixing Drum Placement

4. Place the two halves of the support stand together (Figure 9).
The left support stand fits into the center boss on the right
support stand.

5. Insert the adapter pin through bosses as shown in Figure 9.
Once the adapter pin has been inserted and aligned, insert
the locking pin. Place the round part of the locking pin over
the bottom section of the adapter pin.

3. Fit the mixing drum onto gearbox shaft as shown in Figure

8. Rotate drum in a clockwise direction, make sure the drum
fits right up to the shoulder on the gearbox shaft.

7. Remove both wheels and wheel retainers from the packing
container.

9. Before attempting to lift mixer, locate the frame locking clip.
Attach the locking clip as shown in Figure 12. This will prevent
the mixing drum from moving when the mixer is positioned
in an upright position.

10. DO NOT tilt the mixer on a wet, smooth or slippery surface.

Figure 12. Frame Locking Clip

8. Place one wheel on each side of the mixer's axle as shown
in Figure 11. Position wheel retainer over axle to secure
wheel in place. Use a rubber mallet when striking wheel
retainer.

11. Once the stand has been assembled, and the locking clip has
been secured, begin tilting the mixer to an upright position.
Remember
