MS-40H HYDRAULIC MIXER GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL
The STOW MS-40H plaster and mortar hydraulic mixer is shipped completely assembled and has been factory tested.
The drum batch capacity of these mixers is between 3.5 and
4.0 bags. With proper care, they will give continuous service year-after-year.
This mixer can be powered by either gasoline or electric motors. The power from the engine rotates a hydraulic pump which provides hydraulic fluid to a control valve directs fluid to the hydraulic motor which causes the paddle shaft to rotate. This type of hydraulic pump design provides high mixing torque and eliminates V-belts, pulleys ect.
BEFORE STARTING
Before starting the engine, read the engine owners manual and thoroughly understand the safety information.

MS-40H HYDRAULIC MIXER — TOWING
NOTE
Before towing, check with local and state laws for proper compliance.
The tow bar and chain must be properly attached to the mixer and towing vehicle prior to towing. Refer to the following installation instruction:
Step 1.
Insert the Draw Bar into the main frame. Secure, utilizing the 3/4" bolt (grade 5) and nylock nut. Tighten to 100 foot pounds.
STEP 1

BOLT & NUT
REMOVE EXCESS CHAIN (SLACK)
It is critical that the length of the chain be properly adjusted, to prevent the stand from dropping to the ground (contact) in the event the Draw Bar becomes disconnected from the towing vehicle.
If a new safety chain is required use P/N 13363. For a new connector link use P/N 01004.

BALL HITCH COUPLER
1. Check vehicle hitch, ball, and coupler for signs of wear or damage. Replace any parts that are worn or damaged before towing.
2. Use only the 2" ball diameter as indicated on your 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. Be sure the coupler is secured to the hitch ball and the lock lever is down tight and locked.
Recheck tightness again after towing about 50 miles.
4. Check that trailer safety chains are properly connected.
Check the following before towing:
Extend the chain along the length of the Draw Bar, remove excess chain (slack) and secure to bottom connector link. Secure the chain to the towing vehicle, using the connector link.
