MS-40H  HYDRAULIC MIXER — GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL
The STOW MS-40H plaster and mortar hydraulic mixer is
shipped completely assembled and has been factory tested.
 The drum  batch capacity of these mixers is  between 3.5 and
4.0 bags. With proper care, they will give continuous service
year-after-year.
This mixer can be powered by either gasoline or electric motors.
The power from the engine rotates a hydraulic pump which
provides hydraulic fluid to a 
directional control valve. The
control valve directs fluid to the hydraulic motor which causes
the paddle shaft to rotate. This type of hydraulic pump design
provides high mixing torque and eliminates V-belts, pulleys ect.
BEFORE STARTING
Before starting the engine, read the engine owners manual and
thoroughly understand the safety information.
Check the items listed below:
OIL LEVELS
Be sure to check the oil levels in the engine and hydraulic
reservoir before starting the unit.
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 the torque chart
below as a general guideline and keep all hardware tight:
