use extreme caution when working with
fl ammable
liquids.
DO NOT

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 fl ames.
NEVER
use fuel as a cleaning agent.
DO NOT
smoke around or near the

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 diffi cult 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

shut down the engine before transporting and
place the fuel valve in the
OFF

NEVER
tow a mixer with defective hitches, couplings, chains, etc.
Check the tire air pressure on both towing vehicle and

Mixer tires should be infl ated to 50 psi cold
.
Also check the tire tread wear on the vehicle and mixer.
ALWAYS
make sure the mixer is equipped with a
safety
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 jackknifi ng. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will
