Towing Guidelines - MULTIQUIP Whiteman Series Operation Manual

TOW BAR TO VEHICLE (COUPLER ONLY)
1. Check the vehicle hitch ball and the mixer's coupler for
signs of wear or damage. Replace any parts that are
worn or damaged before towing.
2. Use only a 2-inch ball diameter for the towing vehicle.
This will match the mixer's 2-inch coupler. Use of any
other ball diameter will create an extremely dangerous
condition which can result in ball failure or separation
of the coupler and ball.
3. After the tow bar has been connected to the mixer
(Figure 3–Figure 6), securely attach the mixer's coupler
to the hitch ball on the towing vehicle. Make sure the
lock lever is in the DOWN (locked) position and the
safety pin is inserted.
MIXER TOW BAR VEHICLE (PINTLE AND LOOP)
1. Make sure the bumper on the towing vehicle is
equipped to handle either a pintle- or loop-type tow
bar configuration.
2. After the tow bar has been connected to the mixer
(Figure 3–Figure 6), secure either type of tow bar to
the towing vehicle, following state and county towing
regulations.
3. As a minimum, use a 1/2-inch bolt and nyloc nut
(grade 5) when securing either tow bar to the towing
vehicle.
