1 – SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS ARE SUGGESTED TO HELP PREVENT
ACCIDENTS. A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE BEST OPERATOR. MOST
ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED BY OBSERVING CERTAIN PRECAUTIONS.
READ AND PRACTICE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS BEFORE
OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT TO HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY BY THOSE WHO ARE
RESPONSIBLE AND HAVE BEEN PROPERLY INSTRUCTED.
Read all operating and maintenance instruction before operating or servicing
the mixer. Test run the empty unit prior to actual use.
A mixer is only as safe as its operator. Give complete and undivided attention
to the operations of the mixer.
Know how to stop the mixer and engine/motor instantly in emergency
situations.
Always keep all guard and safety devices and labels attached and in place
before operating mixer. Close engine housing during mixer operation.
Keep inexperienced and unauthorized people away from the mixer at all times.
Never leave the mixer unattended when it is running
Shut off engine or disconnect electric power before making repairs or
adjustments. NEVER REACH INTO DRUM OR PLACE TOOLS INTO
THE DRUM WHILE THE MIXER IS RUNNING.
Do not overfill- -do not attempt to exceed the mixer’s rated capacity.
Do not refuel the engine when it is hot or running.
Do not smoke while refueling the engine.
Block mixer wheels when in operation.
Keep the mixer well maintained and in good operating condition. Check
periodically for loose or missing hardware.
Avoid loose clothing that could get caught in moving parts or on control levers.
KEEP HANDS AND FEET AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS .
4
Never charge or fill the unit prior to starting the mixing blades as an overload
encountered in starting a loaded unit could damage the engine/motor or drive
components.
Connect safety chains as instructed when towing the mixer. Connect only to
correct hitch or coupler.
Keep warning, caution and safety instruction labels clean and in good condition.
Replace missing, damaged or illegible labels.
2 – ASSEMBLY AND PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
The only assembly required on this mixer is the installation of the drum tilt handle.
Remove the handle from the bag shipped in the drum and install, referring to parts
list Figure 5, item numbers 7, 20, 21, 29 And 31 for proper assembly.
The following steps should be taken prior to placing the mixer in use:
1. The operator must be familiar with the location and operation of all controls.
2. Check the crankcase oil level on gasoline powered units, and fill the fuel tank
before starting.
3. Check for free rotation of the mixer blade shaft by rotating the drum through
one complete dump-charge-dump cycle. Make sure no foreign objects or
tools are in drum before starting engine/motor.
4. Start engine/motor, slowly engage the drum drive and check for smooth
operation of the mixer blade shaft and drive.
5. Move the clutch lever through several cycles to assure correct clutch
operation.

3 – CONTROLS AND OPERATIONS
1. The mixing paddles feature adjustable rubber wipers and steel backing plates.
Paddles are factory preset for appropriate drum wrap clearance. If adjustment is
required, proceed as follows:
A. Loosen the wiper attaching hardware and move the wiper outward to
maintain contact with the drum but without folding over when in
operation.
B. After adjustment, turn the mixer arms one full turn manually to check
clearance and eliminate the possibility of wiper back plates contacting the
drum.
2. Read through the manual for all operation, adjustment and maintenance
instructions. Be sure all engine/motor and drive system operation instructions are
followed as outlines.
3. All nuts and cap screws should be checked and tightened during the first two (2)
hours of use. Periodic checks should be made thereafter.
CLUTCH CONTROL LEVER
This control is located in front of the mixing drum on the mixer leg. SEE FIGURE 1.
This control engages and disengages the drive to the mixing blades.
TO ENGAGE: Position lever in line with the mixer frame (12 o’clock position). Lever
is held in the engage position by the over-center action of the linkage.
TO DISENGAGE: Push lever down (counter-clock-wise) to the 9 o’clock position.
Lever is spring loaded to hold it in the disengaged position.
6
TOW POLE ASSEMBLY
The tow pole assembly is located on the front of the mixer and is used for transport only.
For transport, pull the tow pole assembly out, line up the hold and insert the L-shaped pin
through holes.
When operating the mixer, pull the L-shaped pin out of the hole and push tow pole
assembly all the way in. Line up the holes and insert the L-shaped pin through the holes.
SAFTEY CHAINS
1. Cross chains under the tow pole when connecting the safety hooks to the tow
pole. SEE FIGURE 2
2. Allow enough slack to permit vehicle turning while keeping chains snug enough
under tow pole to prevent pole from contacting the ground in case of
disconnection or hitch failure.
3. Secure safety hooks to appropriate mounting area on tow vehicle.
NOTE: SAFETY CHAIN LENGTH MAY NEED TO BE ALTERED FOR
PROPER CONNECTION TO TOW VEHICLE. REPOSITION HOOKS, DO NOT
CUT CHAIN.
7
4 – MIXER TRANSPORT
1. Secure drum by engaging drum lock.
2. Secure all moveable parts, including the rear housing.
3. Secure tow pole coupler to vehicle and attach safety chains and hooks. (See
FIGURE 2, Safety Chains).
A. Pintle type couplers require the appropriate tow vehicle coupler retainer.
B. Match ball coupler size exactly with hitch ball.
5 – OPERATING THE MIXER
STARTING THE MIXER
Start the mixer engine/motor. Refer to the engine/motor manual for proper starting
procedures.
When the engine/motor is warmed up and is running smoothly, move the control lever to
the engaged position.
EXTENSION CORDS FOR ELECTRIC MOTORS
The following size extension cords should be used: length of cord, up to 100 ft.-14 gauge
wire; up to 200 feet-12 gauge wire; up to 300 feet-10 gauge wire; up to 400 feet-8 gauge
wire.
NOTE: Extension cord must be a 3-wire power cord and 3-wire power plug that is
approved for outdoor use. When connecting the power cord, always connect cord to
motor first and then plug into a grounded receptacle. When disconnecting the
power cord, always unplug the grounded receptacle first.

LOADING THE MIXER
When the mixing blades are rotating, pour the required amount of water into the drum,
then add cement, sand and lime. The desired mixing speed is 33 RPM.
DISCHARGING THE MIXER
Allow the entire mixture to mix for one (1) full minute. DO NOT STOP MIXER FROM
ROTATING. Hold the tilt handle and disengage the drum lock. Dump mortar to the side
by pulling the tilt lever downward. After the mixture is dumped, return the drum to the
operating position and engage drum lock.
CLEANING
To achieve satisfactory performance from the mixer, it is essential to give the drum
reasonable care. Clean the mixer after each use, before the mortar dries and becomes
hard. Never permit mortar to harden on either the inside or outside of the drum. Do not
pound or dent the drum as this impairs mixing efficiency and can cause spot wear on the
drum surface. Spray the entire unit off after each use.
