TOW POLE ASSEMBLY
The tow pole assembly is located on the front of the mixer and is used for transport only.
The mixer is shipped with the tow pole in the stowed position (retracted). Use this
position when operating the unit. For transport, extend the tow pole and secure with the
“L” shaped pin provided.
SAFTEY CHAINS
When transporting the mixer ensure that:
1. The drum is in the mix position and that the drum latch is securely engaged.
2. The engine housing latches are engaged.
3. The tow pole is extended and secured with “L” pin.
4. The safety chains cross under the tow pole to support the mixer if disconnected
from tow vehicle. (SEE FIGURE 2)
5. The chains pass around a frame member or other secure point and the end hooks
are attached back to a chain link. Do Not attach the end hooks directly to a
bumper hole or frame member – they can not support their designed load
rating when used in this manner.
6. Only enough slack to permit an unrestricted turn range exists. Do not allow
chains to drag or be drawn too tight.
