Warning:
The forward and reverse pedals are very reactive. Depressing, releasing or changing
direction rapidly may cause loss of control and damage to the machine, and/or injury or
death of the operator and/or bystanders.
Warning:
Do not spin the tires, especially when driving up and down hills, as control of the machine
may be lost and/or the operator and/or bystanders could be injured or killed.
Warning:
A loaded mixer (machine and payload) may weigh as much as 2,500 lbs. (1134 kg) for a
5050 model and 5,000 lbs. (2,268 kg) for and 5100 model. The operator must use their
own discretion when negotiating rough and uneven terrain. Improper operation of the
loaded machine can cause loss of control, severe injury, or death.
16. TRANSPORTING
16.1 Transporting Trailer Models
5050 and 5100 trailer models are designed to be easily and conveniently moved from one location to
another. The following outlines the procedure for securing and transporting these models.
Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
1. Always comply with the rules and regulations governing the transporting of agricultural
equipment on highways before starting.
2. Make sure all bystanders are clear of the machine and that there are no riders on the machine.
3. Be sure the towing vehicle is rated to haul the mixer at full load. Remember, a loaded mixer
(machine and payload) may weigh as much as 2,500 lbs. (1134 kg) for a 5050 model and 5,000
lbs. (2,268 kg) for a 5100 model.
4. Make sure the unit is hitched properly to the towing vehicle. The mixers use a 2-inch ball coupler
(standard) to secure the trailer to the towing vehicle. To couple the mixer to the towing vehicle,
refer to Figure 31 and follow these steps:
a. Move the lever to the opened/unsecured position.
b. With the mixer drum empty drop the trailer coupler over the towing vehicle ball making sure
the coupler slides completely down over the ball.
c. Move the lever to the closed/secured position.
d. Insert a pin or pad lock completely through the lever. If using a pad lock, make sure it is
locked and secure. If using a pin, be sure that it is of the type that cannot slip out during
transportation (i.e. R-pin).
e. Check that the trailer coupler and towing vehicle ball are secure by pulling up on the coupler.
If it is possible to pull the trailer coupler up off the towing vehicle ball (with mixer drum
empty), then the coupler and ball are not secure. If this is the case, repeat the steps until
the towing vehicle ball and the trailer coupler are secure. If the connection is either too tight
or too loose, see Section 33 for trailer maintenance information.
NOTE - Some jurisdictions may require a safety chain for this size of machine (not
included). Always follow all local highway and transport laws and regulations.
Warning:
Always be sure that the trailer coupler and towing vehicle ball are of the same size and
specification. Failure to do this may cause injury or death to the operator and serious
damage to the mixer and/or towing vehicle.
