Arsenicandchromiumfrom chemically
treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
dependingonhowoftenyoudothistype
of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in aALWAYS

guard removed. Its purpose is to prevent dirt and debris
from entering the dump gear. In addition operator clothing
could become entangled in the dump gear, causing severe
injury and bodily harm.
6. Handwheel — Turn this wheel clockwise or counterclockwise to rotate the mixing drum. Remember the dump
latch must be in the
drum to be rotated.

INITIAL SERVICING
The engine (Figure 3) must be checked for proper lubrication and
filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers Engine
manual for instructions & details of operation and servicing.
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.
5. Fuel Valve Lever – OPEN to let fuel flow, CLOSE to stop
the flow of fuel.
6. Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in
cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel
mixture.
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.
WARNING
WARNING
Adding fuel to the tank should be accomplished 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. Throttle Lever – Used to adjust engine RPM speed (lever

operate the engine with the muffler removed.
10. Fuel Tank – Holds unleaded gasoline. For additional
information refer to engine owner's manual.
NOTE
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

mixer
towing your
To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting
the mixer on public roads, always make sure that the mixer
towing components and the towing vehicle are in good
operating condition and both units are mechanically sound.
The following list of suggestions should be used when towing
the mixer:
■
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).
■
ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER
tow the mixer with defective hitches, couplings, 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.
■
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.
.
Check wheel mounting lug nuts with a torque wrench.
Torque wheel lug nuts as described in the maintenance
section of this manual.
■
Check tightness of U-clamp nuts, torque suspension
hardware as referenced in the maintenance section of this
manual.
■
Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause skidding, or
jackknifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will improve
gas milage.
■
Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.

signs of wear or damage. Replace any parts that are
worn or damaged before towing.
2. 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.
3. After tow bar has been connected to mixer (see next
page), attach mixer's coupler to the hitch ball on the
towing vehicle securely and make sure the lock lever
is in the down position (locked).
If the mixer tow bar is deformed or damaged
replace entire tow bar. NEVER tow the mixer
with a defective tow bar. There exist the
possibility of the trailer separating from the
towing vehicle.
■
Place
chocked blocks
while parked, if disconnected from towing vehicle.
■
Inflate tires to correct pressure, inspect tires for cuts, and
excessive wear. See Table 16 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting).
■
When towing of the mixer is required, place the drum in the
up position (mouth facing upwards).
■
ALWAYS make sure that the fuel valve lever is in the OFF
position (gasoline models only).

The electric motor supplied with the mixer is configured from the
factory for 115 VAC grounded operation. Make certain that the correct
size grounded (3-wires) extension cord is used. See Table 5.
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 and actuate the overload switch.
If overload protection should actuate because of improper voltage
or any other malfunction, turn the main switch on the motor to the
"OFF" position and correct the problem, press the reset switch
button, and turn the main switch to the "ON" position.

Before Starting
1. Read safety instructions at the beginning of manual.
2. Clean the
mixer
, removing dirt and dust, particularly the
engine cooling air inlet, carburetor and air cleaner.
3. Check the air filter for dirt and dust. If air filter is dirty, replace
air filter with a new one as required.
4. Check carburetor for external dirt and dust. Clean with dry
compressed air.
5. Check fastening nuts and bolts for tightness.
Engine Oil Check
1. To check the engine oil level, place the mixer on
secure level ground with the engine stopped.
2. Remove the filler dipstick from the engine oil filler hole
(Figure 8) and wipe it clean.
Fuel Check
If your mixer has a gasoline engine, determine if the engine fuel
is low. If fuel is low, remove the fuel filler cap and fill with
gasoline. Motor fuels are highly flammable and can be dangerous
if mishandled. DO NOT smoke while refueling. DO NOT attempt
to refuel the trowel if the engine is

Perform the scheduled maintenance procedures as defined by
Table 6 and below:
DAILY
■
Thoroughly remove dirt and oil from the engine and control

■
Remove the fuel filter cap and clean the inside of the fuel
tank.
■
Remove or clean the filter at the bottom of the tank.
■
Remove and clean the spark plug (Figure 24), then adjust
the spark gap to 0.024 ~0.028 inch (0.6~0.7 mm). This unit
