The following section describes the required steps for preparing this tool for the first use. Failure to correctly perform these steps can

If this cement mixer is being used for the first time, the following few steps are required to prepare it for operation:
Step 1 - Add Oil
This cement mixer requires engine oil to function. Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life.
When new
from the package, this cement mixer contains no oil in the engine crankcase. Add the correct quantity of oil before operating for the first time. When
replenishing oil for subsequent use, always determine that this cement mixer has the correct quantity of oil.
Oil Capacity (fluid oz./L)
15.2 ounces (0.45 liters )
Oil Type Recommended
SAE10W-30
To add oil:
1. Confirm that this cement mixer is on a level surface.
2. Open the Oil Access Panel as illustrated in Figure 1.
3. Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to fill the engine crankcase to the correct quantity as stated above. SAE10W-30 oil is recommended.
When the engine crankcase is full, the oil level should reach the lower lip of the oil filling opening as illustrated in Figure 2.
4. Replace the oil filler/dipstick cap and close the oil access panel.
Step 2 - Add Gasoline
Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious injury or burns.
• Do not fill the fuel tank near a heat, sparks or an open flame. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power
tools, etc.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Check for fuel spills and immediately wipe them up. Spilled fuel is a fire hazard and causes environmental damage.
To add gasoline:
To ensure that this cement mixer runs smoothly, use only FRESH, UNLEADED GASOLINE WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER.
Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of the exhaust system.
1. Confirm that this cement mixer is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew fuel tank cap and set aside. (NOTE: The fuel tank cap may be tight and difficult to unscrew.)
3. Slowly add fresh, unleaded gasoline (with an octane rating 87 or higher) to the fuel tank. Be careful not to fill the fuel tank above the upper limit
line. NOTE: Because gasoline can expand, do not fill the fuel tank to the very top.
4. Securely tighten the fuel tank cap and immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
Fuel Tank Capacity (gals /L)
0.3698 gallons (1.4 Liters )
Fuel Type
Fresh, Unleaded Gasoline Octane Rating 87 or Higher
IMPORTANT:
• Use only UNLEADED gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
• Never use a mixture of oil and gasoline.
• Never use old and/or contaminated gasoline.
• Avoid getting dirt and/or water in the fuel tank.
• Gasoline can age in the fuel tank and make it difficult to start. Never store this for extended time with gasoline in the fuel tank.
