UNPACKING AND SETUP
INSPECT THE CRATE FOR DAMAGE
IMPORTANT:
If any damage is found, notify the carrier at once
and arrange for inspection in order to claim
recovery. Claims for damage must be made by
the consignee (YOU). The carrier assumes full
responsibility upon acceptance of shipment and
will not entertain any claims by the consignor
(Fluid Management).
REMOVE SHIPPING BLOCKS
1. Look into the open mixer and locate the shipping blocks and bolts.
2. Remove and discard the three (3) bolts that secure the shipping blocks to
the mixer.
3. Remove the bolt that fastens the front of the mixer to the skid.
4. Close the door, release the latches on the back of the mixer and open the
back. (See Figure 7, on page 24)
5. Remove the bolt that fastens the back of the mixer to the skid.
6. Close and latch the back of the mixer.
WARNING:
Do NOT operate the mixer without first
removing the shipping blocks.
BALANCING
The mixer is balanced by the manufacturer at the factory. It is not necessary
to further adjust the feet.
H-5 Paint Mixer Operating & Instruction Manual11
INSTALLATION
CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE
NOTE:
The unit must be plugged into a dedicated
electrical line with no other eq uipment using
the same circuit.
Connect the mixer to a separate, dedicated circuit; for example: 120 volt, 20
ampere. The mixer requires a single, grounded outlet. No other equipment is
to be used on this dedicated line. See “GROUNDING” on page 13.
EXTENSION CORDS
Extension cords for 220 VAC models are not rec ommende d. I f an extension cord is
to be used for 110 VAC models, it should not be combined with other extension
cords. Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pole grounding plug. Power
should be provided by a 3-pole receptacle that will accept the plug on the product.
Make sure that your extension cord is in good conditio n. This equ ipment dra ws 5.5
Amps at 115 VAC. An extension cord must be heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord can cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power, overheating and damage to the electronics.
The following chart represents the wire gauge size required in extension
cords for the distance from the grounded receptacle to the equipment.

INSTALLATION
GROUNDING
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by causing the over current
protection device to open the electrical circuit. This product is equipped with
a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
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 wire with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.
DANGER:
Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not
fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 4 on page 14. A temporary
adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure 5 on page 14 may be
used to connect that plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown, if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green colored ridged ear, lug or the like extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly ground outlet
box cover . Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.
