Figure 5. Mixer Components

Figure 5 illustrates the basic components and controls of the STOW MS-63 mixer

1.Tires Ply — The tire ply (layers) number is rated in letters; This mixer uses 13-inch 4-ply tires.

2.Engine Cover — Lift this cover to gain access to the engine compartment.

3.Belt Slip Lever — When starting this lever should be move upward and to the left. For mixing place the lever in the down position. See attached decal located adjacent to lever.

6.Latch — Use this latch to secure the engine compartment cabinet.

7.Drum Bearing — There is on each end of the mixing drum, a sealed bearing. Bearings are packed and sealed at the factory and require no further maintenance.

8.Mixing Paddles — Used in the mixing of material. This unit uses four different types of paddles to provide a fast uniform mix.

9.Bag Cutter—This feature allows compound mixing bags to be opened easily, therefore allowing the contents of the bag to fall directly into the mixing drum.

10.Safety Grill — Provided for operator safety. This safety grill is designed to keep hands and solid objects out of the mixing drum when in use.This grill should be closed at all times when mixer is in use. DO NOT remove the grill or grill opening bar. Keep the grill clean by washing it down daily.

11.Dump Handle — Pull this handle downward to dump the contents of the drum. Push the handle upward to return the drum to its vertical position.

12.Safety Grill Lock Handle — To prevent injury to hands and arms, the safety grill should ALWAYS be locked when the mixing of plaster or mortar is required. Also when transporting the mixer the safety grill should be locked. The safety grill should only be un-locked when cleaning of the blades and drum is required.

13.Pivot Point/Zerk Fitting — There is, on each end of the mixing drum a zerk grease fitting.These fittings lubricate the dumping mechanism. Lubricate both fittings at least twice a week.

14.Dump Handle Release Pin — Pull this pin outward (spring loaded) to release the drum, then pull down on the dump handle to place the drum in the dump position. When drum is in dump position, pin will automatically lock drum.

15.Steel Mixing Drum — Mixing materials such as mortar, plaster are to be placed into this drum for mixing. Always clean the drum after each use.

16.Tow Bar/Coupler — This mixer uses a 2-inch coupler or pintle towbar.

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

18.Forklift Pockets – When lifting of the mixer is required, use these fork lift pockets to lift the mixer. Remember to insert the forks of the forklift a minimum of 24 inches into the lift pockets.

19.Chock Blocks — Place these blocks (not included as part of the mixer package) under each mixer wheel to prevent rolling.
