TOW POLE ASSEMBLY
The tow pole assembly is located on the front of the mixer and is used for transport only.
For transport, pull the tow pole assembly out, line up the hold and insert the L-shaped pin
through holes.
When operating the mixer, pull the L-shaped pin out of the hole and push tow pole
assembly all the way in. Line up the holes and insert the L-shaped pin through the holes.
SAFTEY CHAINS
When transporting the mixer, slide the tow pole out as far as possible and insert the
locking pin. When operating the mixer, slide the tow in and lock it in place.
Make sure drum is locked in position and engine housing is closed and secured.
1. Cross the chains under the tow pole to prevent the tow pole from dropping to the
ground if the mixer comes loose.
2. Pass chain around a frame member or secure bumper iron and hook it back to
itself for strongest attachment. If the chain hook is attached to a frame member or
bumper iron or hole, it may slip off or the hook straightened out if the mixer
comes loose. Attach chains securely.
3. Allow only enough slack in chains to permit proper turning of vehicles. To not let
chains drag on ground, or to be drawn up too tight. Slack length should hold tow
pole and front leg off the ground with the mixer loose. (SEE FIGURE 2)
NOTE: SAFETY CHAIN LENGTH MAY NEED TO BE ALTERED FOR
PROPER CONNECTION TO TOW VEHICLE. REPOSITION HOOKS, DO NOT
CUT CHAIN.
