MIX N' GO MIXER — INITIAL START-UP (GASOLINE ENGINE)

CAUTION:

DO NOT attempt to operate the mixer until the Safety, General Information and Inspection sections of this manual have been read and thoroughly understood.

This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial start-up of the walk-behind trowel. It is extremely important that this section be read carefully before attempting to use the trowel in the field.

Starting the Engine (BRIGGS & STRATTON)

1.Placethechoke lever(Figure21)intheCHOKE (CLOSED) position if starting a cold engine.

Figure 20. Engine Choke Lever (Closed)

2.Place the choke lever (Figure 20) in the RUN (OPEN) position if starting a warm engine engine or if the temperature is warm.

8.Before the mixer is placed into operation, run the engine for several minutes. Check for fuel leaks, and noises that would associate with a lose V-belt cover or component.

9.To begin mixing, place the throttle lever (Figure 25) in the "RABBIT" (FAST) position
