What is the difference between a concrete and a plaster mixer?

The concrete mixer is used to mix coarse aggregate such as rock, sand and cement called concrete for setting posts, pouring concrete foundations and slabs. Any mix that uses rock or other course aggregate is best prepared in a concrete mixer. Many contractors also use this type mixer to mix mortar for brick or block.

The plaster mixer is used to mix exterior stucco, interior plaster or mortar for brick, block, floor tile, etc., and any mixes that do not contain rock, gravel or any other aggregates.

Are lights or fenders required for towing?

Not usually, but you should check with your local highway authorities to be sure.

Is there anything in particular about gasoline engines that I should know?

The fuel valve should always be turned to the OFF position before towing the mixer. If you fail to do this, the engine cylinder may fill with gasoline making the engine unable to start. To clear this, it may be necessary to remove the spark plug from the engine with a spark plug wrench.

Instructions:

• Pull the starter cord several times to force the raw fuel from the piston chamber.
• Replace the spark plug wire.
• Start the engine by using the usual procedure.
