WC-42S CONCRETE MIXER — MAINTENANCE (MIXER)

Lug Nut Torque Requirements

It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel mounting torque on the trailer. Be sure to use only the fas- teners matched to the cone angle of the wheel. Proper pro- cedure for attachment of the wheels is as follows:

1. Start all wheel lug nuts by hand.

2. Torque all lug nuts in sequence. See Figure 30. DO NOT torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down.Tighten each lug nut in 3 separate passes as defined by Table 10.

3. After first road use, retorque all lug nuts in sequence. Check all wheel lug nuts periodically.

NOTE

NEVER! use an pneumatic air gun

 

to tighten wheel lug nuts.

Mixer Storage

For storage of the mixer for over 30 days, the following is recommended:

z Drain the fuel tank completely, or add STA-BIL to the fuel.

z Run the engine until the fuel is completely consumed.

z Completely drain used oil from the engine crankcase and fill with fresh clean oil, then follow the procedures described in the engine manual for engine storage.

z Clean the entire mixer and engine compartment.

z Place the mixing drum in the down position (mouth facing downward).

z Cover the mixer and place it a clean dry area, that is protected from harsh elements.

WC-42S specifications

The Multiquip WC-42S is a versatile and robust walk-behind concrete saw, specifically designed for precision cutting and user efficiency. This machine is particularly beneficial to contractors involved in the construction and maintenance of roads, pavements, and other concrete structures. Its durability and high-performance specifications make it a popular choice for both commercial and residential projects.

One of the standout features of the WC-42S is its powerful engine. Powered by a reliable Honda GX390 engine, the saw offers impressive performance, delivering ample power for both wet and dry cutting applications. The engine's fuel efficiency ensures longer operational periods, minimizing downtime for refueling, and its ease of use is a significant advantage for operators of all skill levels.

The WC-42S is equipped with a robust cutting assembly that accommodates a variety of blade sizes, with a maximum cutting depth of up to 4 inches. This adaptability allows users to customize their operations according to specific project requirements. The machine can support blades up to 14 inches in diameter, offering added versatility for various cutting tasks across different materials, including asphalt and reinforced concrete.

A notable technological feature of the WC-42S is its inflexible frame design, which enhances stability and support, ensuring straight cuts even under demanding conditions. The saw also features a user-friendly depth adjustment system that allows for quick changes between cutting depths, providing operators with unparalleled control.

Safety and comfort have also been prioritized in the design of the WC-42S. It is fitted with ergonomic handles that reduce operator fatigue during prolonged use. The saw’s low-profile design allows for better visibility and control, particularly when cutting in tight spaces or intricate patterns.

Moreover, the WC-42S includes an integrated water system for cooling the blade and minimizing dust, contributing to cleaner worksite conditions. This feature not only enhances performance but also improves operator safety by reducing silica dust exposure.

In summary, the Multiquip WC-42S walk-behind concrete saw stands out with its powerful engine, versatile cutting capabilities, user-friendly design, and integrated safety features. Its blend of technology and robust engineering makes it a favorite among professionals looking for reliability and high performance in concrete cutting solutions. With the WC-42S, contractors can achieve precise cuts efficiently and effectively, making it a worthy investment for any concrete project.
