LOADING BY FORK LIFT
• The usual method of loading into a pick-up truck or trailer should be used.
• A fork socket (Fig 3) is located beneath the main frame to enable the mixer to
be loaded using a forklift (Fig 1).
LOADING BY CRANE
• To expose the lifting eye, turn the drum so it is facing down, (Fig 2).
• Ensure the lifting ropes are inspected to the current Health and Safety guidelines
and are suffi cient to carry the total weight of the mixer. See Technical Data.
• Ensure the lifting hook is correctly located prior to lifting the machine.
• DO NOT stand underneath the machine whilst it is being lifted.
DRUM TILTING
The hand wheel gives an easy positive control of the drum which can be locked in the stored, mix, and discharge position.
The drum is locked in position by a self locating plunger which engages into the handwheel. To move the drum the locating plunger
must be dis-engaged, this is done by pressing down on the footpedal (this is situated just above the pivoting front axle), the
handwheel will now move freely allowing the re-positioning of the drum, to relock the drum in position, release the footpedal and rotate
the handwheel until the self-locating locking plunger engages into the handwheel ring.
• DO NOT put your hand through the hand wheel.
• ALWAYS keep both hands on the hand wheel.
• ALWAYS ensure legs are down, removing the weight from the wheels.
