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.

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.
NOTICE
„ ALWAYS make certain that the proper power or
extension cord has been selected for the job.
TRANSPORTING SAFETY

SAFETY INFORMATION
„ 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.
„ Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.
„ The mixer should be adjusted to a level position at all
times when towing.
„ Raise and lock the mixer drum in the UP position when
towing.
„ Place chock blocks underneath the mixer wheels to
prevent rolling while parked.
