6.Safety Chain — This mixer uses a 3/16-inch thick, 72- inches long zinc-plated saftey chain. ALWAYS connect the safety chain when towing.

7.Tow Bar — This mixer uses various towing bars, please reference the frame assembly drawing and parts list in this manual to determine which tow bar meets your requirements.

8.Leaf Suspension — This mixer uses a leaf type suspension. Check the mounting hardware for bolt hole elongation and tightness. See maintenance section of this manual for recommended maintenance.

9.Chock Blocks — Place these blocks (not included as part of the mixer package) under each mixer wheel to prevent rolling, when mixer is not connect to the towing vehicle.

10.Tires Ply — The tire ply (layers) number is rated in letters; This mixer uses 13-inch 2-ply tires. Replace with only recommended type tires.

11.ON/OFF Switch (gasoline only) —This switch is provided on mixerwith gasoline engines only and is located on the side of the mixer frame. When activated it will shut down the engine. Pull out when starting the engine.

12.Cabinet/Latch — Encloses engine and electric motor. NEVER run mixer with cabinet removed. Use latches to secure engine compartment cabinet.

13.Mixing Blades (Steel) — Used for the mixing of concrete. When blades show signs of wear, entire steel mixing drum assembly must be replaced. See steel mixing drum assembly in the parts section of this manual.
