Operation Instructions
WARNING!
The following safety instructions must be COMPLETELY REVIEWED
AND FOLLOWED before operating any Dynamix Mixer. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
Please Read These Warnings Carefully Before Operating the Mixer
Important: This instruction manual is not intended to include a comprehensive listing of all details for all procedures
required for installation, operation and maintenance. If you have a question about a procedure or are uncertain about any detail, Do Not Proceed. Please contact Dynamix Agitators for more information or clarification.
1. Do not uninstall or service this mixer until you have followed your “Control of Hazardous Energy Sources” procedure as per OSHA Guidelines, and the Canadian Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.
2. Read and fully understand the manual before installation and startup.
3. Ensure the mixer is designed for the application. Operating outside of the mixer's intended use will result in damage. Refer to original quotation.
4. Do not handle the mixer by the shaft. Lifting and handling the mixer by the shaft will cause damage.
5. Check the straightness of the shaft by slowly rotating by hand before operation in fluid.
6. On start-up jog the mixer in order to ensure the mixer shaft and impeller is not obstructed from rotation.
7. Fluid level must be a minimum of the equivalent to one diameter above the impeller for proper mixing. Avoid operating the mixer in air.
8. Avoid extended operation when fluid level is at or near the bottom impeller
9. Fluidize settled solids before starting mixer. Impeller cannot be buried in solids at startup. For best performance axial flow impellers (DynaflowTM and Pitch) should be positioned ½ of their diameter above the tank floor or settled solids.
10. If the impeller is buried, disperse any settled solids before starting the mixer. This may be done using an air hose, re-circulating pump, or a large stick.
11. When viewed from above (looking into the tote container), tote mixer rotation is counter clockwise. Improper direction will result in minimal mixing. If the Drive segment rotates during operation the mounting nut is not tight enough. If rotation continues please contact your Dynamix Salesperson.
12. Vortexing may occur if the fluid level is too close to the impeller. Aeration of the product and excess vibration may occur.
13. When mixing materials of different viscosities or specific gravities, the lighter or less viscous material should be introduced first. Add heavier materials gradually in the center of the tank while the mixer is running. Do not dump large quantities of solids or powders into the tank. This will cause impacting on the impeller and may cause equipment damage.
14. Check the quotation data sheet for operating speed requirements if a variable speed drive is used
15. Reversed rotation may cause overloading and inefficient mixing. Confirm rotation with sticker on side of mixer.
16. Some shaft vibration is normal. A bent shaft may cause excess vibration.
17. Keep motors clean and dry. Air motor intakes and exhaust ports must be clear of foreign material. The electric
18. Do not run air motors above 2000 RPM. See Page 13 for proper air consumption and pressure charts. See the

Assembly & Installation – Plastic Tote
Step 1.
Lower the agitator segment into the tote opening. Ensure impellers are collapsed.
Step 2.
Lower the agitator segment until the plate mount seats onto the lip of the tote opening. The outside diameter of the tote opening should not be greater than the outside diameter of the lip of the tote neck. Attention: No part of the impeller
or shaft should touch the bottom of the tank.
Step 3.
Lock the plate mount into the position by threading the locking nut onto the tote neck. Attention: Ensure no part
of the impeller in settled material. The impeller must be able to rotate and reach the required RPM in order to perform properly.
Step 4.
The drive segment is mounted onto the agitator segment via the Dynamic Coupling. This male/female coupling requires a slight clockwise rotation to seat and fully engage the drive with the shaft. Your ITM is now ready to be powered for mixing.
ITM Series Assembly Instructions
Ensure your shipment came complete with; Drive Segment, Locking Nut, Agitator Segment and Impeller/s as quoted. Note; Impellers are secured via dimple and set screw so that you can reposition your impeller when needed. For applications that require fixed impellers, we recommend permanent or semi-permanent thread lock (Loctite) be used.

Assembly & Installation – Stainless Steel Tote
Step 1.
Align shaft with bearing housing below lid. Thread bearing housing into adapter plate threads on drum lid until tight. This will allow bearing housing threads to protrude from top side of the lid.
Step 2.
Thread Dynamic Coupling (A) male end in a clockwise direction onto protruded threads of the bearing housing. (See Reference 1. below.) Tighten the coupling (A) solidly with a non-metallic hammer.
Step 3.
Slide impeller onto shaft. For dual impeller configurations slide the upper impeller on first. These impellers use a dimple and set-screw to secure the impeller into place. This allows for a semi-permanent positioning, and repositioning as needed. For permanent positioning, or to ensure the
impellers do not move, we recommend using a thread locker like Loctite Permanent.
Step 4.
The drive segment is mounted onto the agitator segment via the Dynamic Coupling. This male/female coupling requires a slight clockwise rotation to seat and fully engage the drive with the shaft. Your ITM is now ready to be powered for mixing.
ITM Series Assembly Instructions
Ensure your shipment came complete with; a Drive Segment and Agitator Segment as quoted. Note; Impellers are secured via dimple and set screw so that you can reposition your impeller when needed. For applications which require impellers never move we recommend permanent or semi-permanent thread lock (Loctite) be used.

General Information Regarding Air Motors
WARNING!
Use only non-combustible solvents.  Do not use kerosene or other flammable solvents to flush the air motor.  Flushing with Flammable solvents could cause fire or explosion and result in serious
injury or property damage.
Using GAST Flushing Solvent AH255D will reduce this concern.  Wear eye protection and flush in a well-ventilated area.
Air motors operate best with lubricated, dry, clean air at air pressures below 100psi. Air Lubricator: Lubricated air is typically available from the air system. If not, an automatic lubricator must be installed in
the air- line ahead of the air motor. Use a pneumatic air lubricant e.g. ISO VG32 or detergent SAE #10 automotive oil. Lubricator should be adjusted to feed one drop of oil for every 50 to 75cfm.
Moisture: Excessive moisture in the air- line can cause rust formation in the motor and ice to form in the muffler. An in­line separator must be used on your pneumatic system to reduce this.
Air Filter: If the air is dirty this will cause the motor to run sluggishly and can break the motor vanes. An in-line filter must be used on your pneumatic system to reduce this.
Pressure Regulator: Air motors are designed to operate with a maximum air pressure of 100 psi. If higher air pressure is supplied, an in-line air pressure regulator should be used to reduce the pressure. This can also be used to vary the speed of the air motor
Flushing: Should excessive dirt, foreign particles, moisture, or excess oil be permitted to enter the air motor, the unit will act sluggish. Flushing the air motor should remove this.
1. Disconnect air line and muffler
2. Pour several tablespoons of solvent directly into intake port
3. Rotate shaft by hand in both directions for 3 to 4 minutes
4. Reconnect air line and slowly apply pressure until there is no trace of solvent in the exhaust air
5. Re-lubricate motor with a squirt of oil in chamber

Warranty & Claims Policy
The following statement of our Warranty and Claims Policy is intended to assist our customers in understanding the terms of our warranty, the circumstances under which we will honor claims, and the procedure for making claims.
Our Warranty and Claims Policy should be read in conjunction with and is subject in as respect to the Terms and Conditions of Sale which appear on our quotation and acknowledgment forms and the specific terms of any distributorship or other such agreement between us and the individual customer.
1. Warranty Manufactured Products
We warrant Products manufactured by us to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of twelve (12) months after first installation of mixer or for eighteen (18) months after shipment from our factory, whichever occurs first.
Our liability under this warranty or in connection with any other claim relating to our Products is limited to the repair, or at our option, the replacement or refund of the purchase price, of any Products or parts or components which are returned to us freight prepaid and which are defective in material or workmanship. Products or parts or components thereof, which are repaired or replaced by us will be returned to our customer freight collect.
2. Limitation of Liability
The only warranty that we offer our customers is that warranty which is set forth on our quotation and acknowledgment forms and which is summarized above.
WE DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE.
In addition, we do not assume and we expressly disclaim any liability for
i. any SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES which
anyone may suffer as the result of the sale, delivery, servicing, use or loss of use, of any Product, or
ii. any charges or expenses of any nature which are incurred without our express written
consent.
Our total liability under our warranty or in connection with any claim involving any Product is expressly limited to the purchase price of the Product in respect of which damages are unclaimed.
3. What Is Not Covered By Warranty: Damages and Claims for Which Dynamix Is Not Responsible The following are examples of the kinds of defect which are not covered by Our warranty; defects which
are caused by improper installation, improper or abnormal use or operation, or improper storage or handling; defects caused by our customer's failure to perform normal preventive maintenance; defects caused by repairs by persons not authorized by us; defects caused by modification alterations made by our customer; and any damage to our Product occurring while is in our customer’s possession.
Since these are examples and not a complete list, we suggest that our customers contact our Customer Service Department if they have any question concerning the scope of our warranty.
Additional costs incurred by our customers because of delays in delivery are consequential damages for which we are not responsible.
Risk of loss or damage to our Products passes to our customer when we tender our Products to the carrier. Although we cannot process transit damage claims with any carrier on a customer's behalf, we will provide reasonable assistance to our customers when such claims arise.

4. Consultations with Customers
When so requested, our engineers and other personnel may consult with our customers concerning our Products. While our employees will offer their best judgment on any question, the ultimate responsibility for selecting that Product which will perform the functions and applications desired by the customer rests with the customer. As noted above, we make no warranty, express or implied, as to the fitness of any Product for any Product for any particular purpose or use.
5. How to Make a Claim
Within the limits of the terms and conditions set forth on our quotation and acknowledgment forms and in the Warranty and Claims Policy, we will honor reasonable and justified claims when adequate evidence is provided to show that our Product was defective.
Whenever a customer has a claim concerning a Product, the customer should contact the Customer Service Department.
