MULTIQUIP WM70SLF Operation Manual page 19

1. Safety Grill — Provided for operator safety. This safety
grill is designed to keep hands and solid objects out
of the mixing drum when in use. This grill should be
closed at all times when the mixer is in use. DO NOT
remove the grill or grill opening bar. Keep the grill clean
by washing it daily.
2. Dump Handle — Pull this handle downward to dump
the contents of the drum. Push the handle upward to
return the drum to its vertical position.
3. Safety Grill Lock Handle — To prevent injury to hands
and arms, the safety grill should ALWAYS be locked
when the mixing of plaster or mortar is required. The
safety grill should also be locked when transporting the
mixer. The safety grill should only be unlocked when
cleaning of the blades and drum is required.
4. Pivot Point/Zerk Fitting — There is a Zerk grease
fitting on each end of the mixing drum. These fittings
lubricate the dumping mechanism. Lubricate both
fittings at least once a month or when the drum
becomes difficult to position.
5. Drum Head Seal/Zerk Fitting — There is a Zerk
grease fitting on each end of the mixing drum. Lubricate
both fittings (drum head seals) every 40 hours of
operation.
6. Drum Bearing — There is a sealed bearing on
each end of the mixing drum. Bearings are packed
and sealed at the factory and require no further
maintenance.
7. Drum Lock Pin — Place the pin in the locked position
before towing. Prevents the drum from tipping.
8. Tow Bar/Coupler — This mixer uses various towing
bars. Refer to the Frame Assembly drawing and parts
list in the mixer parts manual to determine which tow
bar meets your requirements.
9. Safety Chain — This mixer uses a 3/16-inch-thick,
72-inch-long, zinc-plated safety chain. ALWAYS
connect the safety chain when towing.

10. Chock Blocks (Option) — When the mixer is not
connected to the towing vehicle, place these blocks
(not included as part of the mixer package) under each
mixer wheel to prevent rolling.
11. Rigid Suspension — This mixer uses a rigid-type
suspension. Check the mounting hardware for bolt
hole elongation and tightness. See the Maintenance
section of this manual for recommended maintenance.

This mixer uses 13-inch, 4-ply tires. Replace with only
recommended type tires.

switch is located on the side of the mixer frame. When
activated it will shut down the engine. Pull this switch
outward when starting the engine.
15. Mixing Paddles — This mixer uses rubber mixing
paddles for the mixing of plaster and mortar. ALWAYS
clean the paddles after each use.
16. Bag Cutter — This feature allows mixing bags to be
opened easily, therefore allowing the contents of the
bag to fall directly into the mixing drum.
17. Engine Cover — Lift this cover to gain access to the
engine.
18. Belt Slip Lever — Placing this lever in the mix position
will tension V-belts which will enable the paddle shaft
to rotate.
19. Mixing Drum — Drum capacity is 7.0 cubic feet
(198 liters). Mixing materials such as mortar and plaster
are to be placed into this drum for mixing. ALWAYS
clean the drum after each use. DO NOT use this mixing
drum for the mixing of volatile or hot liquids.
