PAGE 12 — STOW CMS-6S CONCRETE MIXERS — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #6 (12/22/06)
STOW CMS-6S CONCRETE MIXER — GENERAL INFORMATION
Application
This mixer is
only
intended for the production of
concrete
.
The mixer must be used for its intended purpose and is not
suitable for the mixing of
flammable
or
explosive
substances. The mixer
must not be used
in an explosive
atmosphere. Use Table 4 (Mixing Hints) as a guide when
mixing concrete for various applications.
Power Plants
The Multiquip MC-62P and MC-62S mixers can be powered
by a variety of power plants or an electric motor. Refer to
Table 2 to for specific engine or electric motor data
information. All engines are air-cooled, 4-stroke gasoline
engines.
Electrical
If mixer is equipped with an
electric motor

the power being supplied to the motor corresponds to the
voltage rating label on the motor. Supplying the wrong voltage
to the electric motor will cause severe electrical damage to
the motor.
Always make sure the
OFF/ON
switch on the electric motor
is in the
OFF
position before applying power.
It is
strongly recommended
when inserting the mixer's
power cord into a receptacle, that a G.F.C.I. (
Ground Fault
Current
Interrupter
) receptacle be used (115 VAC
applications).
Extension Cables
The extension cable should be a 3-wire configuration that
includes a ground wire that conforms to UL code. The wire
cross section must be a minimum of 2.5 mm
2
. Choose an
extension cord of adequate current carrying as Referenced
in Table 6. Remember
distance
affects the wire size of the
extension cable.
Ensure that the extension cable is carefully laid out avoid-
ing
wet areas
,
sharp edges
and locations where vehicles
might run over it. Avoid allowing the extension cable to be
trapped underneath the mixer.
Unroll the extension cable fully or it will overheat and could
catch fire. Make sure that all extension cable connections
are dry and safe. Replace any defective or badly worn ex-
tension cable immediately.
Hardware
Check all hardware on the mixer before starting. Periodically
inspect all hardware. Loose hardware can contribute to early
component failure and poor performance. Use Table 3 as general
guideline when the torqueing of mixer hardware is required.
Remember to keep all mixer hardware components tight.

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:
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Towing Safety Precautions
Check with your county or state safety
towing regulations department before
towing your
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).
ALWAYS make sure that the fuel valve lever is in the OFF
position (gasoline models only).
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:
If the mixer tow bar is deformed or damaged
replace entire tow bar. NEVER tow the mixer
with a defective tow bar. There exist the
possibility of the trailer separating from the
towing vehicle.
Tow Bar to Vehicle Connection (Coupler Only)
1. Check the vehicle hitch ball, and mixer's coupler for
signs of wear or damage. Replace any parts that are
worn or damaged before towing.
2. Use only a 2-inch ball diameter (towing vehicle), this
will 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.
3. After tow bar has been connected to mixer (see next
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 (Pentile and Loop)
1. Make sure the bumper on the towing vehicle is equipped
to handle either a pentile or loop type tow bar
configuration.
2. After tow bar has been connected to mixer (see next
page), secure either type of tow bar to the towing vehicle,
following state and county towing regulations.
3. As a minimum, use a 1/2-inch bolt and nylock nut grade
5 when securing either tow bar to the towing vehicle,
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
jackknifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will improve
gas milage.
Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.
STOW CMS-6S CONCRETE MIXER — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #6 (12/22/06) — PAGE 17
STOW CMS-6S CONCRETE MIXER — SAFETY CHAIN CONNECTION
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.
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Reference Figure 5 for the installation of the
Saftey Chain
.
Tow Bar to Mixer Connection
1. Insert the tow bar through the round opening at the
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.
2. Route the safety chain through the holes just above the
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.
3. Extend the safety chain along the length of the tow bar,
looping it through the tow bar's connector link. Remove
any excess chain slack.
4. Connect the free end of (connector link) the safety 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.
