through one complete dump-charge-dump cycle. Ensure that no foreign
objects or tools are in the drum before starting engine/motor.

4. Start engine/motor, engage drive and check for smooth operation of paddle

arms, shaft, and drive components.

5. Engage and disengage clutch several times to ensure proper operation.
