is essential that you perform periodic maintenance on
the engine and machine mechanisms. Follow the guide
lines listed below.
REPLACEMENT OF DRUM, SPINDLE &
BEARINGS
The Pipe Plug (Item 1) is sealed in the bearing house
with loctite 262. It may be necessary to apply heat to
the housing for removal. Apply loctite 262 upon
reassembly to ensure proper locking and sealing.
Note that all adjustments must be made with drum in
the vertical (drum-up) position. Impact drivers may not
be used as they will return incorrect torque readings.

finger-tight. Torque spindle bolt to 40 ft. lb. Loosen
spindle bolt one (1) turn and re-torque to 25 ft. lb.

CLEANING
For consistent performance, long life and continued
high quality mixing of cement, thoroughly clean the
mixer inside and out at the end of each day's operation.
Drum may be scoured by 2 minute operation with
gravel and water mixture. Discharge, then hose down
drum inside and outside. Keep mixer clean.
Before cleaning, shut off the engine or motor and
disconnect the spark plug wire or electric cord to
prevent accidental starting. Spray the mixer with water
before the mix dries to remove any accumulations.
Dried mix should be scraped out as necessary. DO
NOT beat on drum with shovel, hammer or other
device to break up accumulations of dried mix, as this
will dent and damage the drum.

THE DRUM WHILE THE ENGINE OR MOTOR
IS RUNNING.
