California - Proposition 65 Warning
Engine exhaust and some of its constituents, and some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead based paints - Crystalline silica from bricks -Cement and other masonry
products -Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: ALWAYS work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
Before operating the Mud Hog® it should be properly set up on the jobsite. The MH20 Mud Hog® weighs
2295 lbs. (1040 kg) empty and 5295 lbs. (2401 kg) full. Check forklift ratings before attempting to move
the Mud Hog®. The Mud Hog® is equipped with fork pockets on all sides and can be lifted from any side.
1. Raise Mud Hog® with fork lift.
2. Fully extend the outriggers by removing the hitch pins, extend the outriggers, and reinsert hitch pins.
Each outrigger has a 5/8” (1.6cm) hitch pin and a 1/4” (.6cm) linch pin as the keeper. Make sure the
linch pin is locked into position.
3. While raised, set the Mud Hog® to the desired height by adjusting the mixer feet. Each mixer foot
allows for 1” (25.4mm) adjustment, has a 3/4” (1.9cm) hitch pin, and a hair pin as the keeper. Make
sure each pin is locked into position. In the full down position, the Mud Hog® can dump into most mortar
pans. Level the Mud Hog® as close as possible.
4. Verify that all mixer feet are touching the ground and that the Mud Hog® is level and cannot rock in
any direction. If one of the mixer feet is not touching and cannot be adjusted to touch the ground, shim
under that foot with a board to create solid footing.
5. Perform the daily maintenance as described in the “Daily Maintenance” section of this manual.
6. Check all hydraulic operations using both levers on the hydraulic control valves and the auxiliary valve
handles.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Do not operate the Mud Hog®
