Figure 2. Mixer Major Components

1.Steel Mixing Drum — The MQWhitemanWC-42S uses a 4 cu. ft steel mixing drum. This drum is to be used for mixing of concrete. Always clean the drum after each use. DO NOT use this mixing drum for the mixing of volatile liquids.

2.Dump Latch — To rotate the mixing drum, this latch must be in the up position.To lock the drum, place the latch in the down position.

3.Dump Gear Guard — NEVER operate the mixer with this guard removed. Its purpose is to prevent dirt and debris from entering the dump gear. In addition operator clothing could become entangled in the dump gear, causing severe injury and bodily harm.

4.Handwheel — Turn this wheel clockwise or counter- clockwise to rotate the mixing drum. Remember the dump latch must be in the up position in order for the mixing drum to be rotated.

5.Zerk Fittings — There is, at the bottom and engine side of the yoke, and center of the handwheel grease zerk fittings. Lubricate these fittings as referenced in the maintenance section of this manual.

6.Safety Chain — This mixer uses a 3/16-inch thick, 72- inches long zinc-plated saftey chain. ALWAYS connect the safety chain when towing.

7.Tow Bar — This mixer uses various towing bars, please reference the frame assembly drawing and parts list in this manual to determine which tow bar meets your requirements.

8.Leaf Suspension — This mixer uses a leaf type suspension. Check the mounting hardware for bolt hole elongation and tightness. See maintenance section of this manual for recommended maintenance.

9.Chock Blocks — Place these blocks (not included as part of the mixer package) under each mixer wheel to prevent rolling, when mixer is not connect to the towing vehicle.

10.Tires Ply — The tire ply (layers) number is rated in letters; This mixer uses 13-inch 2-ply tires. Replace with only recommended type tires.

11.ON/OFF Switch (gasoline only) —This switch is provided on mixerwith gasoline engines only and is located on the side of the mixer frame. When activated it will shut down the engine. Pull out when starting the engine.

12.Cabinet/Latch — Encloses engine and electric motor. NEVER run mixer with cabinet removed. Use latches to secure engine compartment cabinet.

13.Mixing Blades (Steel) — Used for the mixing of concrete. When blades show signs of wear, entire steel mixing drum assembly must be replaced. See steel mixing drum assembly in the parts section of this manual.
