1) Use a 2 prong, grounded, 110/115 volt, 60 Hz, power connection for safe operation. The line should be at
least 12 gauge.
2) To mix concrete, add water, concrete, and aggregate while the drum is rotating.
3) Discharge the mixed concrete by elevating the dump handle (# 10 Drawing 1) while the drum is rotating.
NOTE: When tilting the drum to discharge the concrete, do so slowly. It is important to
perform the discharge smoothly, this keeps the machine balanced and upright.
4) The ON/OFF switch in the motor of the MINUTEMAN mixer provides thermal protection to the motor in
the event of overheating. Should your motor shut off automatically, turn off the unit and unplug it for 15
minutes. This allows the motor to cool. After the cooling period, plug in the motor and press the start switch.
If the motor does not restart and continue to run, contact your local IMER products distributor, or call IMER
direct at 800.275.5463.
OPERATION
The MINUTEMAN Mixer requires very low maintenance. However, a few basic maintenance procedures
should be followed.
NOTE: Always unplug the mixer from its power source before any cleaning or
maintenance functions are performed.
1) Clean the mixer after each use and do not allow any concrete to build up on any portion of the mixer.
2) Essentially the gearbox is sealed for life. The quality of the gears and the lubricant are such that
changing the oil is not necessary. Should you want to change the oil, see your dealer or call IMER
U.S.A direct for instruction @ 800.275.5463.
3) Keep all moving parts lightly greased.
4) Keep the electric motor cooling fins clean and free of debris build-up.
5) Before storing the MINUTEMAN after a project is completed, spray n' wipe the entire machine with
WD-40.
NOTE: When spraying the mixer with water, do not direct the water onto the motor or
the ON/OFF switch assembly.

All orders for spare parts must include the following:
1) Type of machine.
2) Part number and drawing references of each part, see the parts list.
3) Serial number and year of manufacture recorded on the machine's
identification plate.
