SAFETY INFORMATION
NOTICE
NEVER
run the engine without an air fi lter or with a dirty
air fi lter. Severe engine damage may occur. Service the
air fi lter frequently to prevent engine malfunction.
NEVER
tamper with the factory settings
of the engine or engine governor. Damage
to the engine or equipment can result
if operating in speed ranges above the
maximum allowable.
FUEL SAFETY
DANGER
DO NOT
start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible
fl uids. Fuel is
extremely fl ammable
and its vapors can
cause an
explosion
if ignited.
ALWAYS
refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from
sparks and open fl ames.
ALWAYS
use extreme caution when working with
fl ammable
liquids.
DO NOT
fi ll the fuel tank while the engine is running
or hot.
DO NOT
overfi ll 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 fl ames.
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.
TRANSPORTING SAFETY
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 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
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.
NEVER
tow a mixer with defective hitches, couplings, chains, etc.
Check the tire air pressure on both towing vehicle and
mixer.
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
improve towing.
MIXER SAFETY
DANGER
NEVER
operate the equipment in an
explosive atmosphere or near combustible
materials. An explosion or fi re could result
causing
severe bodily harm or even death
.
DO NOT
mix
fl ammable
or
explosive
substances.
WARNING
NEVER
place your hands inside the drum
while starting or operating this equipment.
NEVER
disconnect any
emergency
or safety devices.
These devices are
intended for operator safety. Disconnection of these
devices can cause
severe injury, bodily harm or even
death
. Disconnection of any of these devices will void
all warranties.
Before operating the mixer, ensure that the safety grate
is in position and correctly fi tted.
CAUTION
NEVER
lubricate components or attempt service on a
running machine.
NOTICE
ALWAYS
keep the machine in proper running condition.
ALWAYS
ensure the mixer is on level ground before mixing.
Fix damage to the machine and replace any broken
parts immediately.
DO NOT
tip the mixer onto the drum mouth when the
drum is rotating.
Ensure the drum is rotating while fi lling and emptying
the drum.
ALWAYS
store equipment properly when it is not being
used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location
out of the reach of children and unauthorized personnel.
ALWAYS
make sure the mixer is clean of dried materials.
DO NOT
allow material to build up inside the drum. Keep
the drum, frame and wheels clean. Excess debris can
fall off on the highway and/or build up on the frame and
wheels, creating an unbalanced condition leading to
premature metal fatigue.
ENGINE SAFETY
DANGER
Engine fuel exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon
monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can
cause death if inhaled.
The engine of this equipment requires an adequate
free fl ow of cooling air.
NEVER
operate this equipment
in any enclosed or narrow
area where the free flow
of air is restricted. If the air
fl ow is restricted it will cause
injury to people and property
and serious damage to the
equipment or engine.
WARNING
DO NOT
place hands or fingers inside the engine
compartment when the engine is running.
NEVER
operate the engine with heat shields or
guards removed.
Keep fi ngers, hands, hair and clothing away
from all moving parts to prevent injury.
DO NOT
remove the engine oil drain plug
while the engine is hot. Hot oil will gush out of the oil
tank and severely scald any persons in the general area
of the mixer.
CAUTION
NEVER
touch the hot exhaust manifold,
muffl er or cylinder. Allow these parts to cool
before servicing the equipment.
Make certain the operator knows how to and is capable
of turning the engine
OFF
in case of an emergency.
