SAFETY INFORMATION
DANGER
DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible
fluids. Fuel is extremely flammable and its vapors can
cause an explosion if ignited.
ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from
sparks and open flames.
ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with
flammable liquids.
DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running
or hot.
DO NOT overfill the tank, since spilled fuel can ignite if it
comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from
the ignition system.
Store fuel in appropriate containers, in well-ventilated
areas and away from sparks and flames.
NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.
DO NOT smoke around or near the
equipment. Fire or explosion could result
from fuel vapors or if fuel is spilled on a
hot engine.
NOTICE
ALWAYS make certain that the proper power or
extension cord has been selected for the job.
CAUTION
NEVER allow any person or animal to stand underneath
the equipment while lifting.
NOTICE
ALWAYS make sure forklift forks are inserted as far as
possible into the pockets (if applicable) when lifting the mixer.
ALWAYS shut down the engine before transporting.
NEVER lift the equipment while the engine is running.
Tighten the fuel tank cap securely and close the fuel
cock to prevent fuel from spilling.
DO NOT lift the machine to unnecessary heights.
ALWAYS tie down equipment during transport by
securing the equipment with rope.
NEVER
tip the engine to extreme angles during lifting
as this may cause oil to gravitate into the cylinder head,
making the engine difficult to start.
TOWING SAFETY
CAUTION
In addition to meeting
Department of Transportation
(DOT) safety towing regulations,
check your local
county or state safety towing regulations before towing
the mixer.
In order to reduce the possibility of an accident while
transporting the mixer on public roads, ALWAYS
make
sure the towing vehicle is mechanically sound and in
good operating condition.
ALWAYS
shut down the engine before transporting and
place the fuel valve in the OFF position.
ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear.
tow a mixer with defective hitches, couplings, chains, etc.
Check the tire air pressure on both towing vehicle and
mixer.
Mixer tires should be inflated to 50 psi cold.
Also check the tire tread wear on the vehicle and mixer.
ALWAYS make sure the mixer is equipped with a
chain.
ALWAYS properly
attach the mixer’s safety chains to
the towing vehicle.
The maximum speed for highway towing is 55 MPH
unless
posted otherwise. Recommended off-road towing is not to
exceed 15 MPH or less depending on type of terrain.
Avoid sudden stops and starts.These can cause skidding
or jackknifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will
improve towing.
Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.
The mixer should be adjusted to a level position at all
times when towing.
Raise and lock the mixer drum in the UP
towing.
Place chock blocks
underneath the mixer wheels to
prevent rolling while parked.
