WARNING: READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE MAINS
SUPPLY.
Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply
through an approved 13 amp BS1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket or
because of damage, it must be removed and a replacement fitted, following
the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be discarded safely as
insertion into a power socket could cause an electrical hazard.
WARNING: THE WIRES IN THE POWER CABLE OF THIS PRODUCT ARE
COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:
BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE
The wires in the mains lead should be
wired up in accordance with the
following colour code:
• Connect the BROWN coloured
wire to the plug terminal
marked with a letter “L”.
• Connect the BLUE coloured wire
to the plug terminal marked
with a letter “N”.
We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply
via a Residual Current Device (RCD). If you are not sure, consult a qualified
electrician.
DO NOT try to carry out any repairs yourself.
This symbol indicates that this is a Class II product and does not

Remove all components from the packing case and lay them out so that they
can be identified and checked for any possible damage during transit. Should
any component be found to be damaged or missing, please contact your
CLARKE dealer immediately. Check the components against the following list.
1. Stand Assembly6. Mixing blades
2. Drum assembly7. Wheels
3. Handlebars8. Stand Connector
4. Drive motor assembly9. Fixings Kit (bolts/nuts/washers/pins
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.
1. Switch the machine on by
pressing the green (I) switch on
the motor. Stop by pressing the
red (O) switch.
2. Introduce water first, to prevent
the machine from clogging.
3. Add cement as required.
4. Add aggregate to suit.
• Always set the mixer running
before filling, not when the machine is switched off.
• Avoid stopping and starting while there is a heavy weight of material
inside the drum as the extra strain could be harmful to the motor.
• Keep the drum rotating while emptying the mixture.
5. When emptying, remove the
locking pin and tilt the mixer
forward while gripping both
handles tightly.
• Only discharge the mixer when
a suitable receptacle for the
cement mix is in position.
• DO NOT operate this machine
on a steep gradient. ALWAYS
stand the mixer on firm, level
ground where it cannot tip over.
WARNING: REMEMBER THAT THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY OF THE LOADED
MIXER MAY PRESENT A HAZARD WHEN OPERATING ON UNEVEN GROUND.
• ALWAYS keep water away from the motor and other electrical
components as far as possible.
It is essential that the mixer is kept clean. Dried cement inside the drum will be
very difficult to remove. For the mixer to perform at its best it must be
thoroughly cleaned after every use.
At the end of the working shift it is essential that the machine is hosed down
thoroughly with clean water, being sure to remove all traces of the cement
mix especially from around the mixing blades. The drum may be scoured for a
couple of minutes running using course gravel and water which is then
discharged and the drum finally hosed clean.
NEVER allow cement residue to harden inside the drum and thereafter be
tempted to beat on the drum with hand tools to dislodge such accumulations
of dried cement.
The machine is constructed to IP44 ingress protection which enables the drum
and any other areas to be hosed down safety. However, the motor casing
and plug should not be hosed directly under pressure.
STORAGE
CAUTION: OWING TO THE WEIGHT AND BULK OF THE MIXER, TWO
PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED TO LOWER THE MIXER AND RE-FIT THE BOLTS.
The mixer can be better stored with the support
stand folded away.
Remove and lower the mixer to the floor with
the help of an assistant. Loosely re-fit the pins
and R-clips into their respective holes for safe
keeping.
Leave the mixer with the drum partially inverted
to exclude water or debris and always store the
mixer in a dry place out of reach of children.
OCCASIONALLY
After extensive use, inspect the paint and
remove any rust that may be apparent before
touching up where necessary with a rust
resistant paint.
MAINTENANCE FREE ITEMS
The bearings in the machine are sealed for life and require no maintenance.
The drive belt is under constant tension and therefore no adjustment is
required.
