MS45H/MS45E MIXER — PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

PAGE 2 — MQ STOW MS45H/MS45E MIXER — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. # 2 (08/09/06)

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow the respiratory precautions mentioned above.

WARNING

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials. California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful effects.

Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the materials being used.

MS45H/MS45E MIXER — GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL

The MQ STOW Model MS45H5.5 (Honda GX160K1HX2 gasoline engines) and MS45E (electric motor) plaster and mortar mixers are shipped completely assembled and have been factory tested.

The drum batch capacity of these mixers is between 1.5 and

2.5 bags. With proper care, they will give continuous service year-after-year.

These mixers can be powered by either gasoline or electric motors. The shaft of the engine or electric motor is connected to a drive belt pulley which is attached to a main gear. As the main gear rotates it causes the paddle shaft to rotate.

BEFORE STARTING

Before starting the engine, read the engine owners manual and thoroughly understand the safety information.

Check the items listed below:

OIL LEVELS

Be sure to check the oil levels in the engine and engine reduction unit before starting the unit (gasoline model only).
