MC-92P/S CONCRETE MIXER —TOWING GUIDELINES

Towing Safety Precautions

CAUTION:

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

To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting the mixer on public roads, always make sure that the mixer towing components and the towing vehicle are in good operating condition and both units are mechanically sound.

The following list of suggestions should be used when towing the 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 45 MPH, however before towing your mixer, check your local state, and county vehicle towing requirements. Recommended off-road towing is not to exceed 10 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 16 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting).

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

■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.

CAUTION:

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

Tow Bar to Vehicle 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 match the mixer's 2-inch coupler. Use of any other ball diameter will create an extremely dangerous condition which 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).

Mixer Tow Bar Vehicle Connection (Pintle 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 either tow bar to the towing vehicle,

MC-92P, MC-92S specifications

The Multiquip MC-92S and MC-92P are high-performance concrete mixers designed for professional use in construction and masonry applications. These models offer a blend of power, durability, and user-friendly features, catering to the demands of contractors and construction workers who require reliable equipment for mixing concrete, mortar, and other materials.

The MC-92S is equipped with a robust 9.0 horsepower Honda gasoline engine that provides ample power for even the most demanding mixing tasks. This model features a 9 cubic feet capacity drum, allowing for larger batches of mixed material. The MC-92S is designed with a heavy-duty steel frame that enhances its durability and stability during operation. The drum is constructed with abrasion-resistant steel, ensuring longevity and minimizing wear over time.

In contrast, the MC-92P utilizes a powerful 9.0-horsepower propane engine, making it an excellent choice for users who prefer cleaner fuel options. This model retains many of the same design features as the MC-92S, including the enhanced drum capacity and rugged frame. The propane engine not only provides a quieter operation but also reduces emissions, making it a more environmentally friendly option without compromising performance.

One of the standout technologies in both models is the innovative mixing mechanism. The unique design of the mixing blades ensures efficient and consistent blending of materials, reducing the time required for mixing and enhancing the quality of the final product. Additionally, the MC-92 series features a manual dump system, which allows operators to easily and accurately discharge mixed material from the drum.

Safety is a primary concern in construction, and Multiquip has incorporated several safety features into these mixers. The control panel is designed for easy access and includes safety switches that prevent accidental start-up. The sturdy base and low center of gravity provide stability during operation, reducing the risk of tipping.

In summary, the Multiquip MC-92S and MC-92P concrete mixers are exceptional tools for professionals needing reliable, efficient, and versatile mixing equipment. With their powerful engines, capacity, durability, and innovative mixing technologies, they stand out in the competitive market of concrete mixers, ensuring that construction projects run smoothly and efficiently.
