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 wheel stand in the UP position
when towing.
„ Place chock blocks underneath the mixer wheels to
prevent rolling while parked.

SAFETY INFORMATION
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY/DECOMMISSIONING
NOTICE
Decommissioning is a controlled process used to safely
retire a piece of equipment that is no longer serviceable.
If the equipment poses an unacceptable and unrepairable
safety risk due to wear or damage or is no longer cost
effective to maintain (beyond life-cycle reliability) and is
to be decommissioned (demolition and dismantlement),
follow the rules below.
„ DO NOT pour waste or oil directly onto the ground, down
a drain or into any water source.
„ Contact your country's Department of
Public Works or a recycling agency in your
area and arrange for proper disposal of
any electrical components, waste or oil
associated with this equipment.
„ When the life cycle of this equipment is over, remove
the battery (if equipped) and bring it to an appropriate
facility for lead reclamation. Use safety precautions when
handling batteries that contain sulfuric acid.
„ When the life cycle of this equipment is over, it is
recommended that the mixer frame and all other metal
parts be sent to a recycling center.
Metal recycling involves the collection of metal from
discarded products and its transformation into raw materials
to use in manufacturing a new product.
Recyclers and manufacturers alike promote the process of
recycling metal. Using a metal recycling center promotes
energy cost savings.
