MIX N' GO MIXER — BASIC ENGINE

Figure 5. Engine Controls and Components

INITIAL SERVICING

The engine (Figure 5) must be checked for proper lubrication and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers engine manual for instructions and details of operation and servicing.The engine shown above is a Briggs and Stratton engine, operation for other types of engines may vary somewhat.

1. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened securely. DO NOT over fill.

DANGER

Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT

attempt to start the engine until the fuel residue has been completely wiped up, and the area surrounding the engine is dry.

2.

Fuel Tank – Holds unleaded gasoline. For additional

 

information refer to engine owner's manual.

3.

Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method.Pull

 

the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and

 

smoothly.

4.

Oil Drain Plug – Remove this plug to remove oil from the

 

engine's crankcase.

5.

Dipstick/Oil Filler Cap – Remove this cap to determine if

 

the engine oil is low. Add oil through this filler port as

 

recommended in Table 4.

6. Throttle Lever – Used to adjust engine RPM speed (lever advanced forward SLOW, lever back toward operator FAST).

7.Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel mixture.

Operating the engine without an air

filter, with a damaged air filter, or a

NOTEfilter in need of replacement will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.

8.Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter cannister to gain access to filter element.

9. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.024 - 0.028 inch) Clean spark plug once a week.

10. Muffler - Used to reduce noise and emissions.

WARNING

Engine components can generate extreme heat. To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas while the engine is running or immediately after operating. NEVER operate the engine with the muffler removed.

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.
