well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
C10SH8-PH8 CONCRETE MIXER • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (03/06/09) — PAGE 3
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and
other materials with silica in their composition may give
off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a
basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and
numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or
substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can
cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including
silicosis. In addition, California and some other
authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a
substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such
materials, always follow the respiratory precautions
mentioned above.
WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and
other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes
containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal
injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are
unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular
process and/or material being cut or the composition of
the tool being used, review the material safety data
sheet and/or consult your employer, the material
manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as
OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other authorities, for
instance, have published lists of substances known to
cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful
effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where
possible. In this regard use good work practices and
follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or
suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade
associations. Water should be used for dust
suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the
hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot
be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should
always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for
the materials being used.

TOWING GUIDELINES
TOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting
the mixer on public roads, always make sure that the
mixer towing components and the towing vehicle are in
good operating condition and both units are mechanically
sound.
The following list of suggestions should be used when
towing the mixer:
Make sure that the hitch and coupling of the towing
vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer
"gross vehicle weight rating" (GVWR).
ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER
tow the mixer with defective hitches, couplings, chains
etc.
CHECK the tire air pressure on both the towing vehicle
and the trailer. Also check the tire tread wear on both
vehicles.
ALWAYS make sure the mixer is equipped with a "Safety
Chain".
ALWAYS attach trailer's safety chain to the frame of
towing vehicle.
ALWAYS make sure that the towing vehicle's directional,
backup, and brake lights are working properly.
Remember in most cases the maximum speed unless
otherwise posted for highway towing is 45 MPH, however
before towing your mixer, check your local state, and
county vehicle towing requirements. Recommended off-
road towing is not to exceed 10 MPH or less depending
on type of terrain.
Place chocked blocks underneath wheels to prevent
rolling, while parked, if disconnected from towing
vehicle.
Inflate tires to correct pressure, inspect tires for
cuts, and excessive wear. See Table 16 (Tire Wear
Troubleshooting).
When towing of the mixer is required, place the drum in
the up position (mouth facing upwards).
CAUTION
Check with your county or state safety towing regulations
department before towing your mixer.
ALWAYS make sure that the fuel valve lever is in the OFF
position (gasoline models only).
Check wheel mounting lug nuts with a torque wrench.
Torque wheel lug nuts as described in the maintenance
section of this manual.
Check tightness of U-clamp nuts, torque suspension
hardware as referenced in the maintenance section of
this manual.
Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause skidding,
or jackknifi ng. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will
improve gas milage.
Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.
Tow Bar to Vehicle Connection (Coupler Only)
Check the vehicle hitch ball, and mixer's coupler for 1.
signs of wear or damage. Replace any parts that are
worn or damaged before towing.
Use only a 2-inch ball diameter (towing vehicle), this will 2.
match the mixer's 2-inch coupler. Use of any other ball
diameter will create an extremely dangerous condition
which can result in separation of the coupler and ball
or ball failure.
After tow bar has been connected to mixer (see next 3.
page), attach mixer's coupler to the hitch ball on the
towing vehicle securely and make sure the lock lever
is in the down position (locked).
Mixer Tow Bar Vehicle Connection (Pintle and Loop)
Make sure the bumper on the towing vehicle is 1.
equipped to handle either a pintle or loop type tow bar
confi guration.
After tow bar has been connected to mixer (see next 2.
page), secure either type of tow bar to the towing vehicle,

SAFETY CHAIN CONNECTION
Reference Figure 4 for the installation of the Safety
Chain.
Tow Bar to Mixer Connection
Insert the tow bar through the round opening at the 1.
bottom of the mixer stand.
Align the hole on the tow bar with the hole on the mixer
frame, and insert 1/2-inch bolt through tow bar and
frame. Secure tow bar to frame with 1/2-inch nylock
nut. Tighten to 40 ft.-lbs.
CAUTION
NEVER tow the mixer with the safety chain removed.
The safety chain is intended to prevent complete
separation of the mixer from the towing vehicle in the
event of a tow bar failure.
Route the safety chain through the holes just above the 2.
tow bar, located on each side of the mixer stand.
Loop the chain together and place under the tow bar.
Secure the loop with the connector link.
Extend the safety chain along the length of the tow bar, 3.
looping it through the tow bar's connector link. Remove
any excess chain slack.
Connect the free end of (clevis safety hook) the safety 4.
chain to the towing vehicle. Remember, it is critical
that the length of the chain be properly adjusted, to
prevent the draw bar and the front of the mixer stand
from dropping to the the ground (contact) in the event
the draw bar becomes disconnected from the towing
vehicle.
