Do not smoke while refueling the engine.
Block mixer wheels when in operation.
Frequent checks for loose or missing hardware, and regular maintenance will
keep the unit in good operating condition.
Avoid loose clothing that could get caught in moving parts or on control levers.
KEEP HANDS AND FEET AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS .
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 only as instructed as noted in section 3 of this manual
when towing the mixer. Connect only to a hitch, or pintle type coupler.
Keep warning, caution and safety instruction labels clean and in good condition.
Replace missing, damaged or illegible labels.
2 – ASSEMBLY AND PRO-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.
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 attempting to start.
3. Check for free rotation of the paddles and mixer shaft. Rotate the drum
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.
3 – CONTROLS AND OPERATIONS
DRUM LATCH
Lift the drum latch to rotate the drum into the dump position. The latch should
automatically engage when the drum is returned to the mix/transport position.
(SEE FIGURE 3)
CLUTCH CONTROL LEVER
This control is located at the front mixer leg. This control engages and disengages power
to the paddle shaft. SEE FIGURE 1.
ENGAGE PADDLE DRIVE: Place lever in 2:00 position.
DISENGAGE PADDLE DRIVE: Place lever in 12:00 position.
ENGINE/MOTOR CONTROLS
Electric powered units have an motor start switch and emergency stop mounted in an
electrical enclosure. A three wire outdoor power cord is pre-wired into the switch. When
connecting the power cord, always connect to mixer first, and then connect to a grounded
receptacle. When disconnecting the power cord, always turn mixer off first.
Refer to the engine operating instructions for gasoline powered units.
TOW POLE ASSEMBLY
The tow pole assembly is located on the front of the mixer and is used for transport only.
The mixer is shipped with the tow pole in the stowed position (retracted). Use this
position when operating the unit. For transport, extend the tow pole and secure with the
“L” shaped pin provided.
SAFTEY CHAINS
When transporting the mixer ensure that:
1. The drum is in the mix position and that the drum latch is securely engaged.
2. The engine housing latches are engaged.
3. The tow pole is extended and secured with “L” pin.
4. The safety chains cross under the tow pole to support the mixer if disconnected
from tow vehicle. (SEE FIGURE 2)
5. The chains pass around a frame member or other secure point and the end hooks
are attached back to a chain link. Do Not attach the end hooks directly to a
bumper hole or frame member – they can not support their designed load
rating when used in this manner.
6. Only enough slack to permit an unrestricted turn range exists. Do not allow
chains to drag or be drawn too tight.
4 – MIXER OPERATION
1. Place the drum in the mixing position and verify that the drum latch is engaged.
(See Figure 3)
2. Visually check the drum for foreign objects or tools.
3. Close grill assembly.
4. Place clutch lever in the disengaged position (See Figure 1).
5. Start the mixer engine/motor (refer to the engine/motor manual for proper starting
Procedures.
6. When the engine/motor is running smoothly, engage the clutch lever – the paddle
shaft assembly should rotate smoothly and freely – the desired mixing speed is
33 RPM
7. While the mixing blades are rotating, pour the required amount of water into the
drum. Then add cement, sand, and the lime as required. Do Not exceed the rated
capacity of the mixer.
8. Allow the entire mixture to mix for one (1) full minute. DO NOT DISENGAGE
DRIVE CLUTCH LEVER. Release drum latch and rotate the drum to the dump
position while the paddles continue to rotate. After the mixture is discharged, return
the drum to the operating position and verify engagement of drum latch.
EXTENSION CORDS FOR ELECTRIC MOTORS
Extension cord must be a 3-wire power plug – approved for outdoor use. When
connecting the power cord, always connect to mixer first and then plug into a grounded
receptacle. When disconnecting the power cord, always turn mixer off first.
The following wire gauges are recommended for the lengths listed:
Up to 100 ft.-14 gauge wire w/ground
Up to 200 feet-12 gauge wire w/ground
Up to 300 feet-10 gauge wire w/ground
Up to 400 feet-8 gauge wire w/ground
Always use a power source with a ground fault interrupter circuit.
CLEANING
a To achieve satisfactory performance from the mixer, it is essential to give the unit
reasonable care.
a Clean the mixer after each use, before the mortar dries and becomes hard. Never
allow mortar to harden on either the inside or outside of the drum.
a Do not attempt to remove hardened mortar by pounding on the drum with objects.
Dents in the drum will cause accelerated wear spots and impair mixing efficiency. Wash
down the entire unit after each day.
a There are several release agents available that will make clean up easier. Contact your
dealer for information on Crete Clean.
6 – LUBRICATION
DRUM SEAL HOUSINGS
Drum seal housings are attached to each end of the drum. Each has a grease fitting
located at the top, and a vent port on the bottom. It is important to grease this component
weekly, more often during heavy use to retain seal efficiency. Use a lithium based grade
2 multi-purpose grease
DRUM SHAFT BEARING HANGERS
The drum bearing hangers support the drum assembly and provide the pivot point for
drum rotation. These bearings should be lubricated weekly with a lithium based grade 2
multi-purpose grease.
MIXING SHAFT BEARINGS
The mixing shaft bearings are permanently factory sealed and lubricated, No further
service is required.
WHEEL BEARINGS
Wheel bearings should be disassembled, cleaned, and repacked annually. Use #2 wheel
bearing grease or equivalent.
PINION SHAFT BEARINGS
Pillow block style bearings are utilized on the drive train pinion shaft. These bearings
should be lubricated after every 100 hours of operation. More frequently during heavy
use. Use a lithium based grade 2 multi-purpose grease.
IDLER PULLEY
The idler pulley contains a factory sealed and lubricated bearing. No further service is
required.
ENGINE/MOTOR
Refer to the engine/motor operating instructions for all maintenance, lubrication and
specifications.
7 – ADJUSTMENT
MIXING PADDLES
1. The mixing paddles feature adjustable rubber wipers and steel backing plates.
These items are factory preset for appropriate drum clearance. If adjustment is
required, proceed as follows:
a. loosen wiper hardware and position blade so that even contact is achieved
without folding the wiper over when in operation.
b. After adjustment, rotate the paddle shaft one full revolution to manually
verify clearances before engaging power. Verify that the steel backing
plates DO NOT contact the drum.
2. Read through the manual for all operation, adjustment, and
maintenance instructions.
3. Check all hardware after the first two (2) hours of operation, recheck
prior to each operation.
IDLER/TENSIONER
Belt tension is preset at the factory, after approximately 40 hours of operation an
adjustment may be necessary to compensate for normal belt stretch. This may be
accomplished by adjusting the linkage rod connected to the idler/tensioner pulley bracket.
IMPORTANT: Do Not over tension the belts, doing so will prevent the clutch from
disengaging power to the paddle shaft. Maintain enough free play in the belts so
that they will slip when the clutch is disengaged.
Periodically check the alignment of all pulleys and gears for proper operation.
There are two belt fingers (upper & lower), the upper is attached to the engine and should
be positioned so that minumum contact exists with the belts near the pinion pulley. The
lower belt finger is attached to the idler pulley, adjust with the idler pulley in the engaged
position, rotate the lower finger so that it makes contact with the main frame tube. Retighten the idler pulley bolt and move the idler pulley to the disengaged position, the
finger should make contact with the belts and provide slack to the drive pulley so that it
may rotate freely. Ref. Figure 4.
8 – STORAGE
For short term storage, clean the mixer and store in a dry location.
For long term storage prepare the mixer as follows:
1. Clean the unit thoroughly.
2. Lubricate per instructions outlined in the LUBRICATION section.
3. Refer to the engine/motor instructions for storage instructions.
4. Cover exposed metal surfaces with a thin coat of SAE 30 weight engine oil.
5. Store in a dry location.
9 – OPERATING GUIDELINES
MASONRY CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES
The strength and durability of brick masonry depends upon the quality of the brick, the
quality of the mortar and the workmanship in laying. The strength also depends upon
adequate bond and the shape of the masonry unit.
Brick quality – Characteristics are hardness and density. Brick for masonry which is
exposed to weather or where strength is desired should have a crushing strength of not
less than 2500 PSI.
Laying and bonding – Brick should be laid in a full bed of mortar and shoved laterally
into place to secure solid bearing, a bed of even thickness, and to fill the vertical joints.
Brick should be thoroughly wet before laying, except in freezing weather. Bricks laid
with the long dimension parallel to the face of the work are called stretches,
perpendicular to the face are called headers. Bats (chalk bricks) should not be used
except where necessary to make corners or to form patterns on the face of the walls.
Walls are bonded or tied together longitudinally by overlapping stretches in successive
courses. Transverse bond is obtained by making every sixth course headers with the
headers themselves overlapping in successive courses in the interior of thick walls.
Mortars – Mortar composition is dependent on the structural use of the masonry unit. It
is also dependent upon grade, weather exposure and climactic condition. Consult you
brick or block supplier, the ACI (American Concrete Institute) Manual of Concrete
Practices or your local building codes for the proper mortar selection for each application
form more information.
