STOW CMS-94S CONCRETE MIXER — GENERAL INFORMATION
Application
This mixer is

only

intended for the production of

concrete

.
The mixer must be used for its intended purpose and is not
suitable for the mixing of

flammable

or

explosive

substances. The mixer

must not be used

in an explosive
atmosphere. Use Table 4 (Mixing Hints) as a guide when
mixing concrete for various applications.
Power Plants
The STOW CMS-94S mixer can be powered by either a
Honda GX-240 air-cooled, 4-stroke gasoline engine or a 1.5
HP electric motor. Refer to Table 2 to for specific engine or
electric motor data information.
Electrical
If mixer is equipped with an

electric motor

, make sure that
the power being supplied to the motor corresponds to the
voltage rating label on the motor. Supplying the wrong voltage
to the electric motor will cause severe electrical damage to
the motor.
Always make sure the

OFF/ON

switch on the electric motor
is in the

OFF

position before applying power.
It is

strongly recommended

when inserting the mixer's
power cord into a receptacle, that a G.F.C.I. (

Ground Fault

Current

Interrupter

) receptacle be used (115 VAC
applications).
Extension Cables
The extension cable should be a 3-wire configuration that
includes a ground wire that conforms to UL code. The wire
cross section must be a minimum of 2.5 mm2 . Choose an
extension cord of adequate current carrying capacity as ref-
erenced in Table 5. Remember

cable distance

affects the
current-voltage capacity of the extension cable.
Ensure that the extension cable is carefully laid out avoid-
ing

wet areas

,

sharp edges

and locations where vehicles
might run over it. Avoid allowing the extension cable to be
trapped underneath the mixer.
Unroll the extension cable fully or it will overheat and could
catch fire. Make sure that all extension cable connections
are dry and safe. Replace any defective or badly worn ex-
tension cable immediately.
Hardware
Check all hardware on the mixer before starting. Periodically
inspect all hardware. Loose hardware can contribute to early
component failure and poor performance. Use Table 3 as general
guideline when the torqueing of mixer hardware is required.
Remember to keep all mixer hardware components tight.
Engine Maintenance
For basic engine maintenance, refer to the engine maintenance
section in this manual. For a more detailed engine maintenance,
refer to the
Honda
Engine Owner's manual furnished with the
engine.
