OPERATION
ELECTRIC MOTORS - Use the proper size (3) wire
(grounded) extension cord, conforming to the National
Electric Code and Local Ordinances. DO NOT use (2)
wire extension cord. Check any extension cord which
you plan on using carefully for broken connectors, bare
wires and damaged insulation. DO NOT use any cord
found to be in poor condition. Make sure the extension
cord is not routed through standing water and that all
the connections are tight. Use the shortest extension
cord possible. Turn motor on.
TO STOP THE ENGINE / MOTOR
GASOLINE ENGINES - Depress kill switch located
on stationary cowl half and hold down until engine
stops completely. Consult the ENGINE MANUAL
included with this unit for specific instructions. IF
THE MIXER IS TO BE LEFT UNATTENDED FOR
ANY LENGTH OF TIME OR IF THE MIXER IS TO
BE TOWED TO A NEW LOCATION, CLOSE THE
FUEL VALVE UNDER THE GAS TANK.
ELECTRIC MOTORS - TURN THE MOTOR OFF.
IF THE MIXER IS TO BE LEFT UNATTENDED
FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, DISCONNECT THE
POWER CORD.
OPERATION
Start the engine / motor as instructed above and allow
gasoline engines to reach operating temperatures.
Close and latch the engine cowl. NEVER operate the
mixer with cowl open.
With drum operating between 20 - 25 RPM the mixer is
now ready for the addition of the concrete mix. For
best results proceed as follows:
1. Pour the required amount of water into
drum.
2. Add the required amount of gravel.
3. Add the required amount of cement.
4. Add the required amount of sand.
By adding the water and gravel first the drum will be
kept clean and a good tumbling action will be added.
To discharge concrete, grasp handwheel firmly with
one hand and release tilt brake by pushing up on the tilt
handle with the other, (see diagram below).
To prevent accidental discharge, never release brake
without holding the handwheel firmly. Do not attempt
to grab handwheel to stop an accidental discharge,
serious injury could result. Always make sure that the
brake is fully engaged after discharge of concrete and
before reloading drum.
After discharge of concrete, immediately pour in the
required amount of water for the next batch.
NOTE: When servicing brake mechanism, bolt A
should be tightened so that approximately 17 - 18
pounds of force is required to release the brake. This
will prevent accidental discharge due to vibration.
