MIX N' GO MIXER — GENERAL INFORMATION

APPLICATION

This mixer is only intended for the production of concrete and mortar. The mixer must be used for its intended purposes and is not suitable for the mixing of flammable or explosive substances. The mixer must not be used in an explosive atmosphere.

POWER PLANTS

This portable mixer is powered by either a Briggs and Stratton 4-stroke, verticle valve, single cylinder, gasoline engine rated at 3.5 hp @3,600 rpm. or a 0.75 hp electric motor.

DRUM ASSEMBLY

The drum is instantly removable by unscrewing counter- clockwise. When inserting drum onto gearbox shaft, make sure that drum is fully screwed onto shoulder or threads may be damaged. Use extreme care when screwing on the drum, spinning drum onto the gearbox shaft too fast may damage gearbox.

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 that OFF/ON switch on the electric motor is in the OFF position before applying power.

It is strongly recommended that when plugging in the mixer's power cord into a receptacle, that a G.F.C.I. (Ground Fault Current Interrupter) receptacle be used.

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 as Reference in Table 5. Remember distance affects the wire size 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.

PORTABLE GENERATORS

When using a portable generator it must have a minimum output of 2.5 kw and be continuous rated.

GEARBOX

The gearbox oil level has been preset at the factory prior to shipping. Before inspecting the gearbox oil level (Figures 30 and 31), make sure the gearbox is cold before removing the filler plug. Fill up with EP90. or similar gear oil.

TRANSPORTINGTHE MIXER

Use a ramp (Figure 3) to load and unload the mixer from the transport vehicle. Never drop the mixer onto the ground; damage to the mixer could result.

The Multiquip MC3 series is a line of high-performance concrete power trowels, especially designed to improve surface finishing, enhancing both efficiency and quality in various construction projects. The MC3SEA, MC3SBA (B&S), MC3PBA (B&S), and MC3PEA models offer advanced technologies and features that cater to the needs of different applications.

One of the standout features of the MC3 series is its robust construction. Each model is built with a heavy-duty steel frame, ensuring durability and longevity in demanding environments. The trowels are engineered to withstand rigorous use while providing excellent stability during operation, which is critical for achieving a smooth finish on concrete surfaces.

Powering these machines are reliable engine options, with the B&S (Briggs & Stratton) engines integrated into the MC3SBA and MC3PBA models. These engines are known for their fuel efficiency and ease of maintenance, making them an optimal choice for contractors seeking reliable performance. The MC3SEA and MC3PEA models offer alternative engine configurations tailored for specific applications, providing contractors with choices that best suit their work demands.

The torque capabilities of the MC3 series are impressive, allowing for effective power transfer to the trowel blades. This results in a thorough finishing process, enhancing the evenness of concrete surfaces. The trowels come with various blade options, including both standard and extended blades, enabling operators to customize their equipment based on job requirements.

The ergonomics of the MC3 series have been designed with user comfort in mind. Equipped with padded handles and adjustable operating positions, operators can work for extended periods without experiencing fatigue. The intuitive control layout enhances maneuverability, allowing for precise handling in tight spaces.

Another key characteristic of the MC3 series is its easy maintenance. With accessible engine compartments and straightforward service points, routine maintenance tasks can be performed with minimal downtime, ensuring that contractors can keep their projects on schedule.

In summary, the Multiquip MC3SEA, MC3SBA (B&S), MC3PBA (B&S), and MC3PEA power trowels represent a blend of power, durability, and user-friendliness. Their robust construction, versatile engine options, ergonomic design, and easy maintenance make them ideal choices for concrete finishing tasks, providing contractors with the reliability and performance needed to achieve high-quality results on the job site.
