WC-42S CONCRETE MIXER — SAFETY CHAIN CONNECTION

CAUTION:

NEVER ! tow the mixer with the safety chain removed. The safety chain is intended to prevent complete separation of the mixer from the towing vehicle in the event of a tow bar failure.

Reference Figure 5 for the installation of the Saftey Chain.

Tow Bar to Mixer Connection

1.Insert the tow bar through the round opening at the bottom of the mixer stand.

Align the hole on the tow bar with the hole on the mixer frame, and insert 1/2-inch bolt through tow bar and frame. Secure tow bar to frame with 1/2-inch nylock nut.Tighten to 40 ft.-lbs.

2.Route the safety chain through the holes just above the tow bar, located on each side of the mixer stand.

Loop the chain together and place under the tow bar. Secure the loop with the connector link.

3.Extend the safety chain along the length of the tow bar, looping it through the tow bar's connector link. Remove any excess chain slack.

4.Connect the free end of (connector link) the safety chain to the towing vehicle. Remember it is critical that the length of the chain be properly adjusted, to prevent the draw bar and the front of the mixer stand from dropping to the the ground (contact) in the event the draw bar becomes disconnected from the towing vehicle.
