damage immediately to the transportation company. Repair any damage before using the mixer.
2. Check for free rotation of the mixer drum yoke by rotating the drum through one complete dump-charge-dump cycle.
Make sure no foreign objects or tools are in the drum before starting the motor.
3. Check the engine oil. Fill as required. Refer to the engine manual for oil specifications.
4. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean fuel. Refer to the engine manual for fuel specifications.

these items monthly to prevent premature wear/failure.
