CAUTION

WARNING
Grounding
The unit must be plugged into a dedicated electrical line with no other equipment using the same circuit. DO NOT use an adapter or extension cord with this product.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord that has a grounding wire and an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
•Check with a qualified electrician or service person if grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether product is properly grounded.
WARNING
Danger
Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The insulation wire with green or green and yellow stripes on the outer surface is the grounding wire. Check with a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt about whether the product is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided. If it will not fit into the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Aligning and Leveling Mixer
Aligning the Struts
1.Make sure that the power is removed from the mixer.
2.Remove the top cover of the unit. Save the screws.
3.Check the inner frame and struts by grasping the frame at the top.
Vigorously rock the frame back and forth to see that all struts move freely on their supports. No kinking in the springs should occur at the bottom of the struts. The shake frame will return to the center position and appear level when it comes to rest.
4.If one or more of the struts is not seated properly, it (they) can be realigned as follows:
•Remove the upper rear cabinet (sheet metal covering). See Figure 5, “Removing the Mixer Covers” on page 27.
•Raise the inner frame closest to the unseated strut. The frame should be high enough for the strut pin to clear the strut body.
•Carefully lower the frame while guiding the pin into the strut body. Take care not to raise the frame so high that the other struts become unseated.
•Repeat this procedure for each misaligned strut.
5.Move the mixer to its permanent, leveled area. Leave ample room around the paint mixer to facilitate maintenance and safe operation.
Leveling
Although the mixer is leveled by the manufacturer, variations in floor surfaces may necessitate further adjustment.
•Improper leveling may cause severe damage to the paint mixer when in mixing operation.
WARNING
1.Level the mixer by adjusting the 4 feet as necessary.
2.Lock the feet into place by tightening the lock nut to the frame insert.

Aligning and Leveling Mixer
Remove Shipping Inserts
After you have plugged the mixer into a dedicated power line and leveled it, inspect to be sure that you have removed the shipping materials inside the mixer.
1.Make sure the front door of the paint mixer is closed. A safety switch prevents the operation of the paint mixer while the door is open.
2.Apply power to the paint mixer by placing the POWER switch in the ON position.
3.Turn the button labeled EMERGENCY STOP clockwise until the button pops out to the ON position. If the button does not turn, then it is already in the ON position. To stop or turn off the paint mixer, push the button to the OFF position.
4.Push the UP button. Wait several seconds until the top plate raises high enough for you to remove the shipping inserts.
5.Open the front door of the paint mixer. Remove the shipping inserts and the wooden disc insert. If there is not enough room to remove the inserts, then push the UP button again.
6.Be sure that you save the plywood and the foam rubber discs. These will be used with 5-gallon pails.
7.Before performing an operational test, read the following information Getting

Important Information
Before operating the mixer, carefully read the following important information.
Warnings
•Verify that your paint mixer is properly levelled. Improper leveling may cause severe damage to the machine during the mixing operation.
•Always shut off the master POWER switch and unplug the mixer from the AC power outlet before servicing the paint mixer.
•THIS MACHINE IS NOT EXPLOSION-PROOF AND MUST NOT BE USED IN A FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE.
Cautions
•Do not run the paint mixer without a container in place.
•Do not mix more than one full case (four 1-gallon cans) of paint at one time.
The maximum weight limit is 80 pounds for paint and 60 pounds for stucco mixture. See BASIC OPERATION, Figure 3, “Gallon Can
Placement” on page 16.
•On 5-gallon metal containers, use the flake-board disc for recessed bottoms that do not have a center support. Use the discs for recessed tops.
See BASIC OPERATION, Figure 4, “5-Gallon Container Cut-Away
View” on page 17.
•On 5-gallon plastic containers, use the foam discs for the recessed tops around the bung hole. Do not use the flake board disc on plastic containers.

Basic Operation
Basic
Operation

•To quickly stop the machine, push the EMERGENCY
STOP button. If you open the door during the operation, the paint mixer will stop.

Basic Operation
2.When using 5-gallon plastic or metal containers with recessed lids, place the foam disc on top of the container even with the rim.
Note: Both thick and thin discs come with the mixers. Foam discs eliminate flexing of the container. On metal containers with recessed bottoms and no center support, place the flake board disc underneath the container.

3.Close the door firmly. The paint mixer will not operate with the door open.
4.Set the timer on the control panel to the desired shaking time.
5.Apply power to the mixer by pressing the POWER rocker switch to the ON position and turning the EMERGENCY STOP button clockwise until it pops out to the ON position. If the button does not turn, then it is already in the ON position. To stop the paint mixer, depress the EMERGENCY STOP button.

Basic Operation
6.Push the START button. The paint mixer will go through the following sequence:
•The paint mixer will automatically move the top plate down and hold the container in place.
•The paint mixer will shake the container for the set amount of time.
•The paint mixer will raise the top plate about 2 inches. Allow a few seconds for the top plate to raise.
7.Remove the paint container when the mixer is completely stopped.

Operational Test
Operational Test Procedure
1.Plug in the mixer.
2.Using two one-gallon containers followed by a five-gallon container, perform these steps:
•With the one-gallon containers in position on the table, set the TIMER to its minimum value.
•Twist the EMERGENCY STOP to release it.
•Depress the POWER switch.
•With one hand on the EMERGENCY STOP, depress the START switch.
The unit should cycle automatically—clamping down and starting the shake cycle with a smooth, vibration-free movement.
3.If vibrations are noticed, immediately press down the EMERGENCY STOP switch.
•Mild vibrations may occur because the unit is not properly leveled. Try slipping a piece of paper under each of the four (4) adjustable feet. If the paper easily slides under a foot (feet), then the mixer is not solidly contacting the floor. Level as necessary.
•Severe or persistent vibrations may be caused by a variety of problems. Check to make sure that the struts are moving freely. If they are, then contact a qualified service technician or Customer Service at Fluid Management for assistance before continuing to operate the mixer.
4.Repeat the above steps using a 5-gallon container.
5.When the unit is operating smoothly, replace and secure the top cover and upper rear cabinet with the screws.
6.Your high speed paint mixer is now ready for operation. Please read the next two sections to familiarize yourself with the machine and how to operate it safely.
