This is the industry’s safety alert symbol. This symbol calls attention to items or  
operations that could be dangerous. This symbol can be found throughout this manual  
and on safety decals on the mixer. Read these messages carefully.  
The following precautions are suggested to help prevent accidents. Read and  
practice the following precautions before operating this equipment. Equipment  
should be operated only by those who are responsible and have been properly  
instructed.  
1. Read all operating and maintenance instructions before operating or servicing

TOWING & SAFETY CHAINS:  
For transporting the mixer, slide the tow pole out as far as possible and insert the locking  
pin. When operating the mixer, slide the tow pole in and lock it in place.  
Make sure drum is locked in position and engine housing is closed and secured.  
Cross the safety chains under the tow pole and fasten them to the tow vehicle. (fig.1)  
NOTE! Safety chain length may need to be altered for proper connection to  
tow vehicle. Reposition the hooks, DO NOT cut chain.  
Allow enough slack to permit proper vehicle turning while keeping chains snug enough  
to prevent tow pole from contacting the ground in case the hitch uncouples.  
PRIOR TO START UP:  
1. Examine the mixer carefully to make sure there was no damage during shipment  
or since the last use. Report any damage immediately to the transportation  
company. Repair any damage before using the mixer.  
2. Check for free rotation of the mixer drum yoke by rotating the drum through one  
complete dump-charge-dump cycle. Make sure no foreign objects or tools are in  
the drum before starting the motor.  
3. Check the engine oil. Fill as required. Refer to the engine manual for oil  
specifications.  
4. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean fuel. Refer to the engine manual for fuel  
specifications.  
5. Grease all fittings as called out in the lubrication specifications.  
6. Start the motor and check for smooth operation of the drum, ring gear, and pinion.  
Note: After initial 10 hours of operations, check chain/belts for proper tension and  
sprockets/pulleys for alignment. Check these items monthly to prevent premature  
wear/failure.  
LUBRICATION  
Use lithium based grade 2 multi-purpose grease.  
Drum Shaft Tube:  
Drum shaft lubrication can be performed by removing the 1/8” pipe plug (item 4, fig3)  
and installing the appropriate grease fitting. Greasing should be done yearly.  
Yoke Bearing Hangers:  
Yoke bearing hangers are located on the yoke ends and are equipped with grease fittings.  
These bearings should be greased weekly.  
Wheel Bearings:  
Grease wheel bearings once per year. Thoroughly remove old grease from bearings and  
spindle before repacking. Pack bearings ½ to 2/3 full to prevent overheating.

Drum Tilt Brake Bearing:  
The brake bearing casting is located near the front of the mixer and should be greased

This bearing should be greased weekly.  
WARNING: DO NOT GREASE BRAKE BAND OR OUTER  
BRAKING SURFACE OF TILT GEAR.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:  
1. Start the drum rotating.  
2. Add water.  
3. Add cement and one shovelful of coarse aggregate. The coarse aggregate will  
break up any lumps in the cement.  
4. Add remaining aggregate: crushed stone, pit-run gravel or sand.  
5. Mix batch for approximately one minute. Drum speed should be about 25 r.p.m.  
CARE OF MIXER:  
It is important to keep the inside of the mixing drum free of hardened concrete. After  
discharging the last batch of concrete each day, add a pailful of water and two  
shovelfuls of gravel to the drum. This will scour the inside of the drum. Mix for  
about two minutes, discharge and rinse the drum with water.
