TOWING & SAFETY CHAINS
For transporting the mixer, slide the tow pole out as far as possible and insert the locking pin. When operating the mixer,
slide the tow pole in and lock it in place. Make sure drum is locked in position and engine housing is closed and secured.
Cross the safety chains under the tow pole and fasten them to the tow vehicle. (See figure 1.)
NOTE! Safety chain length may need to be altered for proper connection to tow
vehicle. Reposition the hooks, DO NOT cut chain. Allow enough slack to permit
proper vehicle turning while keeping chains snug enough to prevent tow pole from
contacting the ground in case the hitch uncouples.
