PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Engine exhaust and some of its constituents, and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drillingandotherconstructionactivities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Leadfromlead-basedpaints. Crystallinesilicafrombricks. Cementandothermasonryproducts. Arsenicandchromiumfrom chemically treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, dependingonhowoftenyoudothistype of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in aALWAYS well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

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

8. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.028 - 0.031 inch). Clean spark plug once a week.
9. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.
while the engine is running or immediately after operating. NEVER 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

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.
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:
CAUTION:CAUTION:
Tow Bar to Vehicle Connection (Coupler Only)
1. 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.
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 used in this mixer is a single-phase 1.5 HP motor. The input voltage requirement for this motor is either 115 or 230 VAC only.
Electric Motor Connection
A 12 inch electrical cable (Figure 2) with a pigtail at one end is provided with the electrical motor for hookup to a power source.

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

Maintenance
Perform the scheduled maintenance procedures as defined by Table 6 and below:
DAILY
Thoroughly remove dirt and oil from the engine and control area. Clean or replace the air cleaner elements as necessary. Check and retighten all fasteners as necessary. Check the gearbox for oil leaks. Repair or replace as needed.
WEEKLY
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 has electronic ignition, which requires no adjustments.
