Towing the Machine
WARNING
Towing the machine at high speed increases the
risk of a hitch malfunction and tire failure. Higher
speeds also increase the momentum of the machine
and braking distance. If the machine becomes
detached from the tow vehicle at high speed, it
could cause damage to property, or injury or death
to bystanders.
Do not exceed 88 km/h (55 mph) when towing the
machine. For poor road conditions or inclement
weather, reduce speed accordingly.

WARNING
Towing the machine with material in the drum
increases the risk of a hitch malfunction and tire
failure. In addition, material could bounce out of
the drum and hit other vehicles and/or people.
Material in the drum increases the weight, which
affects momentum and braking distance.
Do not tow the machine with material in the drum.
•
Review and understand
•
Test the brakes of the tow vehicle before towing.
•
Avoid sudden starts and stops while towing the machine.
Preparing to Use the Machine
•
Review all of the safety decals on the machine.
•
Use a hard-hat, hearing protection, a shirt with long
sleeves that are tight at the wrists, tight-fitting gloves
without draw strings or loose cuffs, eye protection, and
a dust mask or respirator. A mesh visor alone does
not provide sufficient eye protection; supplement with
protective glasses.
•
Ensure that you are familiar with the safety regulations
and shutdown procedures described in the Operator's
Manual.
23).
•
Ensure that all guards are in place and in good condition.
•
Ensure that the paddles are in place and in good
condition.
•
Check all the grease fittings to ensure that the machine
is properly lubricated.
•
When preparing to mix material:
1. Move the machine to a level job-site surface.
2. Remove the machine from the tow vehicle.
3. Chock the front and back of the tires to prevent
the machine from moving.
4. Ensure that the drum is in the mix position
(upright).
5. Ensure that the drum latch is engaged and that the
drum does not rotate toward the dump position.
