WC-62P/S CONCRETE MIXER — MAINTENANCE (MIXER)

Ball Socket and Clamp Face Maintenance

1.If the towing vechicle is equipped with a ball socket, smear socket periodically with multi-purpose grease. This will keep the ball socket well lubricated.

2.Periodically oil pivot points and clamp face surfaces of coupler with SAE 30 WT. motor oil.

2.Use Poleyrex EM (Exxon Mobil) or equalivant lubricant. Clean grease fitting, apply grease gun to fitting (1/2 shot). Remember too much grease or injecting grease too quickly can cause premature bearing failure. Slowly apply the recommended amount of grease, taking a miniute or so to apply.

3.When parking or storing your mixer. Keep the coupler off the ground so dirt will not build up in the ball socket.

Grease Fittings (Zerk) Maintenance (Mixer)

There are 3 grease (Figure 27) fittings that will require lubrication. Lubricate these fittings once a week. Use lithium base grease, grade N0.1.

Figure 27. Grease Fittings Mixer

Grease Fittings (Zerk) Maintenance (Electric Motor)

1.There are two grease (Figure 28) fittings at each end of the electric motor that will require lubrication. Lubricate these fittings about every 16 months.

Wheel Bearings

1.After every 3 months of operation, remove the hub dust cap and inspect the wheel bearings (Figure 29). Once a year, or when required, disassemble the wheel hubs remove the old grease and repack the bearings forcing grease between rollers, cone and cage with a good grade of high speed wheel bearing grease (never use grease heavier than 265 A.S.T.M. penetration (“No. 2.”)

Figure 29. Wheel Hub and Bearings

2.Fill the wheel hub (Figure 29) with grease to the inside diameter of the outer races and also fill the hub grease cap. Reassemble the hub and mount the wheel. Then tighten the adjusting nut, at the same time turn the wheel in both directions, until there is a slight bind to be sure all the bearing surfaces are in contact.

Then back-off the adjusting nut 1/6 to 1/4 turn or to the nearest locking hole or sufficiently to allow the wheel to rotate freely within limits of .001" to .010" end play.Lock the nut at this position. Install the cotter pin and dust cap, and tighten all hardware.

WC-62P, WC-62S specifications

Multiquip, a renowned name in the construction and industrial equipment sector, offers a range of high-performance concrete mixers. Among its impressive lineup are the WC-62S and WC-62P models. These versatile mixers are designed to cater to a variety of job site requirements, making them ideal for both small-scale and large-scale concrete projects.

The WC-62S model is a standout in many ways. It features a robust 6-cubic-foot mixing drum, allowing for efficient batch mixing and superior output. This mixer is equipped with a powerful Honda engine, which ensures reliable performance even in challenging conditions. One of its key characteristics is the heavy-duty steel construction that enhances durability, enabling it to withstand the wear and tear of daily use on the job site.

In terms of technology, the WC-62S incorporates a unique mixing action. The drum rotates in a clockwise direction during mixing, followed by a counterclockwise rotation for discharge. This dual-action mixing process guarantees a thorough blend of materials, resulting in a consistent concrete mix every time. Additionally, the model features a user-friendly control panel with easy-to-understand indicators, making operation straightforward for users of all skill levels.

On the other hand, the WC-62P model caters to similar needs but comes with distinct functionalities. It boasts a self-contained hydraulic system designed for enhanced mixing efficiency. This self-loading mixer can reduce labor costs and time on site, allowing for a quicker turnaround on projects. This model also features an adjustable discharge height, providing versatility when pouring concrete.

Both the WC-62S and WC-62P come equipped with safety features that prioritize user protection. These mixers include emergency stop buttons and rubberized grips to ensure that operators maintain a safe and secure hold throughout mixing tasks. Furthermore, the compact design of these mixers allows for easy transportation and storage, making them an excellent choice for contractors who require mobility.
