very difficult to remove. For the mixer to perform at its best it must be
thoroughly cleaned after every use.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
BEFORE STARTING WORK
Inspect the power cable and ensure it is free from damage and is not in
danger of being damaged by vehicles, equipment or other operations taking
place on the work site.
AFTER USE
It is essential that the machine is hosed down thoroughly with clean water,
being sure to remove all traces of cement mix especially from around the
mixing blades, Take care to prevent water from entering the motor housing
and if necessary, wrap a polythene sheet or bag over it during cleaning.
Re-tighten the drive belt after the first 25 hours use. The belt should be able to
be deflected no more than 1/4 inch.
PERIODICALLY
After extensive use, inspect the paintwork and remove any rust that may be
apparent before touching up where necessary with a rust resistant paint.
The mixer can be better stored with
the axle frame and support stand
folded away. Remove the axle frame
and support stand securing bolts and
lower the mixer to the floor with the
help of an assistant. Loosely re-fit the
bolts and nuts into their respective
holes. Leave the mixer with the drum
inverted to exclude water or debris.
