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

Towing Safety Precautions
CAUTIONCAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTIONCAUTION
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:
■
Check with your county or state safety towing regulations
department before towing your
■
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 55 MPH, however
before towing your mixer, check your local state, and
county vehicle towing requirements. Recommended offroad towing is not to exceed 10 or 15 MPH or less
depending on type of terrain.
■

vehicle.
■
Inflate tires to correct pressure, inspect tires for cuts,
and excessive wear. See Table 4 (Tire Wear
Troubleshooting).

When towing of the mixer is required, place the drum in
the up position (mouth facing upwards) and lock the drum
latch.

■
ALWAYS make sure that the fuel valve lever is in the
OFF position (gasoline models only).
■
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.
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.
CAUTIONCAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTIONCAUTION
If the mixer tow bar is deformed or damaged, replace the
entire
tow bar. NEVER tow the mixer with a defective
tow bar. There exists the possibility of the mixer separating
from the towing vehicle.
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).
Mixer Tow Bar Vehicle Connection (Pentle and Loop)
1. Make sure the bumper on the towing vehicle is equipped
to handle either a pentle or loop type tow bar configuration.
2. After tow bar has been connected to mixer (see next
page), secure either type of tow bar to the towing vehicle,
following state and county towing regulations.
3. As a minimum, use a 1/2-inch bolt and nylock nut grade
5 when securing the tow bar to the towing vehicle and to
the unit being towed.

Loop the chain together and place under the tow bar.
Secure the loop with the connector link.
3. 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.

10. Safety Grill -Provided for operator safety. This safety
grill is designed to keep hands and solid objects out of
the mixing drum when in use. This grill should be closed
at all times when mixer is in use. DO NOT remove the

Initial Servicing
The engine (Figure 6) must be checked for proper lubrication
and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the

Fuel Hazard
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.

2. Fill the wheel hub (Figure 30) with grease to the inside
diameter of the outer races and also fill 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

rotate freely within limits of .001" to .010" end play. Lock
the nut at this position. Install the cotter pin and dust

the pillow block mounting bolts and move them until
the necessary alignment has been made. Remember
gears must be paralleled aligned not skewed.
3. Using your hand, slightly move (rock) the drive pulley

The surface of the pinion and main gear (Figure 33) should
be very lightly greased.

NOTE
Grease main and pinion gears

operation. IMPORTANT!
Avoid over-greasing.
Excess grease will accumulate contaminates and cause
premature wear.

Grease Fittings (Zerk) Maintenance (Electric Motor)
1. There are two grease (Figure 34) fittings at each end of
the electric motor that will require lubrication. Lubricate

Tire inflation 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 inflation pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life and

too quickly can cause premature bearing failure. Slowly

rim is cracked, the air pressure in the
inter-tube may cause pieces of the rim to explode (breakoff) with great force and can cause serious eye or bodily

to the cone angle of the wheel. Proper procedure for attachment of the wheels is as follows:
1. Start all wheel lug nuts by hand.
2. Torque all lug nuts in sequence. See Figure 35. DO NOT
torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down. Tighten each
lug nut in 3 separate passes as defined by Table 10.

Practically all breakdowns can be prevented by proper handling and maintenance inspections, but in the event of a
breakdown, please take a remedial action following the diagnosis based on the
Troubleshooting (Tables 11,12, and 13) information shown below and on the proceeding pages. If the problem cannot be
remedied, please leave the unit just as it is and consult or company's service department.
