TOWING GUIDELINES

TOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION — Inspect Towing Components

To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting the machine on public roads, always make sure that the equipment’s towing components and the towing vehicle are in good operating condition and both units are mechanically sound. Remember before towing,checkwith local and state laws for proper compliance.

The following list of suggestions should be used when towing the mixer:

Check with your county or state safety towing regulations department before towing your mixer.

Make sure that the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer "gross vehicle weight rating" (GVWR).

ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER tow the mixer with defective hitches, couplings, chains etc.

CHECK the tire air pressure on both the towing vehicle and the trailer. Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.

ALWAYS make sure the mixer is equipped with a “Safety Chain.”

ALWAYS attach trailer's safety chain to the frame of towing vehicle.

ALWAYS make sure that the towing vehicle's directional, backup, and brake lights are working properly.

Remember in most cases the maximum speed unless otherwise posted for highway towing is 55 MPH, however before towing your mixer, check your local state, and county vehicle towing requirements. Recommended off- road towing is not to exceed 10 or 15 MPH or less depending on type of terrain.

Place chocked blocks underneath wheels to prevent rolling, while parked, if disconnected from towing vehicle.

Inflate tires to correct pressure, inspect tires for cuts, and excessive wear.See Table 9 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting).

When towing of the mixer is required, place the drum in the up position (mouth facing upwards) and lock the drum latch.

ALWAYS make sure that the fuel valve lever is in the OFF position (gasoline models only).

Check wheel mounting lug nuts with a torque wrench. Torque wheel lug nuts as described in the maintenance section of this manual.

Check tightness of U-clamp nuts, torque suspension hardware as referenced in the maintenance section of this manual.

Avoid sudden stops and starts.This can cause skidding, or jackknifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will improve gas milage.

Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.

Tow bar to vehichle connection (Coupler only)

1.Check the vehicle hitch ball, and 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 (towing vehicle), this will

CAUTION — Replacing Towing Components

If the mixer tow bar is deformed or damaged, replace the entire tow bar. NEVER tow the mixer with a defective tow bar. There exists the possibility of the mixer separating from the towing vehicle.

match the mixer's 2-inch coupler. Use of any other ball diameterwillcreateanextremelydangerousconditionwhich can result in separation of the coupler and ball or ball failure.

3.After tow bar has been connected to mixer (see next page), attach mixer's coupler to the hitch ball on the towing vehicle securely and make sure the lock lever is in the down position (locked).

MixerTow BarVehicle Connection (Pentle 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 tow bar has been connected to mixer (see next page), 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 nylock nut grade 5 when securing the tow bar to the towing vehicle and to the unit being towed.
