2. Route the safety chain through the holes just above
the tow bar, located on each side of the mixer stand.
Loop the chain together and place under the tow bar.
Secure the loop with the connector link.
3. Extend the safety chain along the length of the tow bar,
looping it through the tow bar's connector link. Remove
any excess chain slack.
4. Connect the free end of (connector link) the safety
chain to the towing vehicle. Remember it is critical that
the length of the chain be properly adjusted, to prevent
the draw bar and the front of the mixer stand from
dropping to the ground (contact) in the event the draw
bar becomes disconnected from the towing vehicle.

CAUTION
DO NOT tow the mixer unless the mixing drum is
completely empty. ALWAYS make sure the drum latch
pin is fully engaged to the right (Figure 2) of the drum
stop block. This will keep the drum from rotating.
