MS-40H HYDRAULIC MIXER — INITIAL START-UP

This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial start-up of the STOW MS-40H hydraulic mixer. It is extremely important that this section be read carefully before attempting to use the mixer in the field.

DO NOT use your mixer until this section is thoroughly understood.

STARTING THE ENGINE (gasoline only)

The following steps outline the procedure for starting the engine. Depending on the type of engine employed in the mixer the steps may vary slightly. If your mixer has an electric motor disregard this section.

1.Move the fuel shut-off lever (Figure 5) to the ON position.

CAUTION:

Failure to understand the operation of theMS- 40H hydraulic mixer could result in severe damage to the mixer or personal injury.

See Figure 1 (page 11) for the location of any control referenced in this manual.

LUBRICANTS

ENGINE OIL

1.Remove the engine oil dipstick from its holder.

2.Determine if the engine oil is low, add correct amount of engine oil to bring oil level to a normal safe level.

HYDRAULIC OIL RESERVOIR

1.Make sure the hydraulic reservoir is full. Hydraulic oil should be visible within 3/4 height of the sight glass (Figure 4). If low use grade AWD 46 hydraulic oil or equivalent.

Figure 4. Sight Glass

ZERK GREASE FITTINGS

1.Check the zerk grease fittings at each end of the mixing drum. These grease fittings lubricate the dumping mechanism. If the dumping handle is stiff or hard to move lubricate these fittings.

FUEL

1.If your mixer has a gasoline engine, determine if the engine fuel is low. If fuel is low, remove the fuel filler cap and fill with unleaded gasoline.

2.To start a cold engine, move the choke lever (Figure 6) to the CLOSED position.

Figure 6. Choke Lever

3.Move the throttle lever (Figure 7) away from the slow position, about 1/3 of the way toward the fast position.

CAUTION

 

Handle fuel safely. Motor fuels are highly flammable and can be dangerous

 

if mishandled. DO NOT smoke while refueling. Do not attempt to refuel

 

mixer if the engine is hot or running. Always allow engine to cool before

 

refueling.
