these parts to cool before
servicing engine or mixer.
■ The engine section of this mixer requires an adequate free
flow of cooling air. Never operate the mixer in any enclosed or

flow is restricted it will cause
serious damage to the mixer or
engine and may cause injury
to people. Remember the

DEADLY carbon monoxide gas.
■ High Temperatures – Allow the engine to cool before adding
fuel or performing service and maintenance functions. Contact
