STOW CMS-44S  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 STOW CMS-44S mixer can be powered by either a Honda
GX120K1QX2 air-cooled, 4-stroke
 gasoline engine
 or a 1/2
HP electric motor. Refer to Table 2 to for specific engine or
electric motor data information.
Electrical
If mixer is equipped with an 
electric motor, make sure that
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 capacity as ref-
erenced in Table 5. Remember
 distance affects the wire
size of the extension cable.
Ensure that the extension cable is carefully laid out avoid-
ing 
wet areassharp 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.
Engine Maintenance
For basic engine maintenance, refer to the engine maintenance
section in this manual. For a more detailed engine maintenance,
refer to the 
 Honda Engine Owner's manual furnished with the
engine.
