TRANSPORT SAFETY
Read and understand ALL the information in
the Operator's Manual regarding procedures
and SAFETY when operating the Mixer in the
workplace and/or on the road.
Always travel at a safe speed. Use caution
when making corners or on a rough surface.
Make sure all the lights and reflectors that are
required by the local highway and transport
authorities are in place, are clean and can be
seen clearly by all overtaking and oncoming
traffic.
Do not allow riders on any part of the ma-
chine during either road or highway travel.
Always use a safety chain between the Mixer
and the towing vehicle when transporting.
Use a mechanical retainer through the ball
hitch or clevis pin before transporting.
Ensure wheel nuts and axle hardware are
tight.
