d. Adjust angle, to obtain the most appropriate cutting angle, adjust the upon 3-point linkage suspension to
ensure the suitable cutting angle.
3.PTO Installation
In some cases it will be necessary to shorten the PTO assembly to match your particular tractor. The following procedure
should be used:
1. Check that the driveline is the correct length .
The minimum coupling length (overlap) must
be no less than 150mm (6 inches) in each
work position.The driveline travel must still
be about 25mm (1 inch) in the maximum
coupling (overlap) position .
Upon 3-point linkage
Handle for tractor
3-point linkage

2. Always couple the two end yokes of the driveline,
check that they are locked in place. To achieve
this condition, completely insert the latch pin
into the groove in the PTO shaft on the tractor.
Install the bolt through the yoke and input the
shaft on the mixer. An unlocked shaft will slip
out of position, causing notable mechanical
damage and serious injury to anyone nearby.
If the driveline is too long, it should be shortened
in the following way:
●Set the machine PTO input shaft at a minimum distance from the tractor PTO stub shaft, then set the tractor brakes,
and switch the engine off.
●Separate the two halves of the driveline. Install the female part into the tractor PTO and the male part on the
machine PTO, checking that the position is correct by means of the latch pin.
●Place the two halves of the driveline together, keeping them parallel. Using a felt-tip pen, mark the place where the
two halves must be shortened, measuring 1.0 inch from the beginning of each half, as shown in Figure. Double
check before making any cuts. Cut PTO drivelines cannot be returned.
●Raise and lower the mixer to determine the position with the greatest distance between the PTO shaft and mixer
input shaft. Shut the tractor off, leaving the mixer in the position of greatest distance between shafts. SECURELY
BLOCK THE MIXER IN POSITION.
●Hold the driveline sections parallel to each other and check for a minimum of 6” (15cm) overlap. If the driveline has
been marked for cutting, the overlap will be the distance between the two marks. If the driveline has less than the
minimum overlap, do not use it. Contact an authorized dealer.
●If the driveline must be cut to a shorter length, clamp
it in a well-padded vise to prevent damage to
the shield. Cut off the shield where it’s marked.
Using the removed sections of the shield as a guide,
cut off the same amount from the shaft .
●Repeat the procedure on the other driveline half.
Remove all burrs and cuttings.
●Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the
outer (female) driveline section. Assemble the driveline and install on the tractor and the mixer. Pull on each
driveline section to be sure the yokes lock into place. Make certain the driveline shielding is in place and in good
condition.
WARNING !
When attaching the PTO yoke to the tractor PTO shaft, it is important that spring-activated locking pins or balls
operate freely and are seated in the groove on the PTO shaft. A loose shaft could slip off and result in personal injury or
damage to equipment.
●Carefully raise and lower the mixer and check to be sure the PTO assembly does not jam . If it does, cut equal
amounts from each half of the PTO assembly. If the PTO driveline assembly contacts the swinging drawbar,
damage will occur to the driveshaft shield and possibly the driveshaft itself (NOT covered under warranty) .
●Check the swinging drawbar of the tractor and make sure the PTO driveline assembly will not contact. The
swinging drawbar can be moved forward on some tractors or it can be removed.
Note: This type of damage is NOT covered under warranty, as it is totally under the control and the responsibility of the
operator.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
Review and follow the safety rules and safety signs .
Check that the mixer is properly and securely and attached to the tractor.
____ Make sure the driveline spring-activated locking pin or locking balls operate freely and are seated firmly in the
tractor’s PTO spline groove.
____ Lubricate all grease fitting locations. Make sure the PTO shaft slip joint is lubricated.
____ Check that all hardware is properly installed.
____ Check that all shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition.
____ Place the tractor’s PTO and transmission in neutral before starting the engine.
____ Set the tractor’s PTO gear select lever for 540 RPM operation.
____ Check that no one enters the area of machine operation. Always work at a safe distance from people, pets, and
livestock .
____ Know your controls and how to stop the tractor, the engine and the PTO quickly in an emergency. READ THIS
MANUAL AND THE ONE PROVIDED WITH YOUR TRACTOR.
____ To avoid accident or injury, do not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper instructions. Any
person who operates this equipment must be instructed in and be capable of the safe operation of the tractor,
implement, and all controls.
____ Check that the PTO driveline shields are securely locked and clear the swinging drawbar.
WARNING !
Before servicing:
●Stop the engine, remove the key and set the brake before dismounting the tractor.
●Disengage the PTO.
For best mixing, the drum should be inclined upward 10° to 15° .
(See Figure 5 ) Add some water before any cement, sand, or
aggregate is put in the drum .
Note: ONLY LOAD THE MIXER WHILE THE DRUM IS TURNING.
The amount of water used per sack of cement is the key to quality
concrete. Use 5, 6, or 7 gallons of water per sack of cement with
dry sand and dry aggregate, depending on the strength of the
concrete required. The less water you use, the stronger the
concrete will be, and we suggest that you deduct approximately
1 gallon if the material is wet and approximately 11/2 gallons if
it’s very wet.
We suggest mixing a trial batch to determine the exact proportions
you will want to use. If it’s too wet, add more sand and aggregate.
If it’s too stiff, reduce the amount of sand and aggregate in the next
batch, but never add more water to a batch once you have established
the correct proportions to use.
10°-15°
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE EACH USE

After the concrete is poured, it is screeded or struck off with a straight edge, like a 2 x 4, and it should then be floated to smooth
it. Further troweling or finishing should be delayed until the water sheen has disappeared from the surface. The concrete should
be cured at least five days.
To prevent evaporation of mixing water, cover with burlap or straw and keep it damp or cover it with a vapor sealing material to
seal in the water and prevent evaporation.
WARNING !
Never place hands or hand held tools (like a shovel) into the mixer drum while it is turning. It could catch on the mixer paddles
and whip around, possibly injuring the operator.
1. Attentions during in use
1. When start job, the empty drum should be inclined upward 10°to 15°(see Fig.1). Drum is turning, add some water
before cement, sand or aggregate is put in drum.
2. Within the job, disengage the PTO before dumping. Never attempt to dump the mixer the mixer running – PTO damage will
result. Always dump the mixer slowly to avoid splashing the mixer. Be careful not to let the mixer dump too far and bind the
hydraulic cylinder. Use a shovel to remove the last of mixer.
3. After working, flush the mixing drum with water so that the concrete does not solidify on the drum. Should maintenance
the machine, check the connection fastening case and the driver chain, adjust with the tighten.
2. Cement mixer adjustment
The frame is designed to allow attachment of the mixer to tractors equipped with 3 -point hydraulic lift system (1st Category).
1. Once attached to the tractor it is necessary to remove the blocking knobs from the support legs and place these legs in the
position indicated in the design shown on the adhesive decals.
2. Place the mixer as shown in ”Position B” indicated in the diagram in this booklet, block the lift bars of the hydraulic lift so that
the PTO Shaft remains as nearly as possible horizontal with respect to the power take-off of the tractor and the input shaft of
the cement mixer. There upon carry out the link-up to the hydraulic system of the tractor and verify - without rotating the
mixer tub - that the PTO Shaft is in no way subjected to forcing especially when in the “ position C” of the diagram. N.B.
Ensure that in all positions, and especially in “position C” (the shortest), there is at least 25 mm (1 ins) axial play in the PTO
Shaft itself.
3. Start the power take-off of the tractor at the lowest r.p.m. and rotate the mixer tub for a short period empty. During this test
ensure once again that the PTO Shaft does not force at the cross-pieces either in “position A” or “position C” of the diagram.
Noted. Ensure that the shaft never operates at an angulation of more than 25° as illustrated in the diagram and also in the
decals attached to the machine.
