BEARING BRACKET
Grease the bearing bracket every month.
COUNTERSHAFT
The countershaft rotates on two self-aligned pillow block
bearings. Grease these every 40 hours using grade #1 Lithium
Base grease.
GEAR ALIGNMENT
The countershaft and driven pinion are mounted on a slotted
base. To align gears, loosen the pillow block mounting bolts and
move them until the necessary alignment has been made.
GEAR LUBRICATION
The surface of the pinion and the bull gear
should be very lightly greased every 250 hours.
IMPORTANT! AVOID OVER-GREASING.
EXCESS GREASE WILL ACCUMULATE
CONTAMINATES AND CAUSE PREMATURE
WEAR.
IMPORTANT — DRUM HEAD SEAL CARE
Grease seals every 40 hours of operation using
any grade #1 lithium base grease. Apply
grease until visible inside of mixing tub
(overgrease). This will purge seal system of
contamination.
DRUM GRILL
The drum opening is covered by a steel grill that is hinged for
easy cleaning. This grill should be closed at all times when mixer
is in use. Do not remove the grill or grill opening bar. Keep the
grill clean by washing it down daily.
CAUTION: Stop the engine before allowing anybody to put their
hands in the mixing drum.
TOWING — Before towing, check with local and state
laws for proper compliance.
The tow bar and chain must be properly attached to the mixer
and towing vehicle prior to towing. Refer to the following
installation instruction:
Step 1. Insert the Draw Bar into the main frame. Secure, utilizing
the ¾" bolt (grade 5) and nylock nut. Tighten to 100 foot pounds.
Step 2. Install the chain through the hole located between the
frame gusset and frame angle. Loop the chain together and place
under the Draw Bar. Secure with connector link.
Step 3. Extend the chain along the length of the Draw Bar,
remove excess chain (slack) and secure to bottom connector
link. Secure the chain to the towing vehicle, using the connector
link.
NOTE: It is critical that the length of chain be properly adjusted
to prevent the Draw Bar and front mixer stand from
dropping to the ground (contact) in the event the Draw
Bar becomes disconnected from the towing vehicle.
