About Us
www.MiraclePaint.com
Miracle Paint Rejuvenator recently celebrated its 75th Anniversary of producing quality specialty mixing solutions.
Fred A. Schletz, Miracle Paint’s founder, invented the first shaker in 1932. His invention was designed to rejuvenate his stock of paint for his three paint stores so his inventory would not spoil. This timely invention not
only helped Fred survive the depression years, the demand for his mixers became so great, that he sold the
paint stores and started the Miracle Paint Rejuvenator company to produce mixers full time!
That commitment to innovation and quality engineering continues to this day with our most recent line roll out
of heavy duty industrial mixers - Pacer Industrial Mixers. Whether your requirement is for Laboratory Mixers,
Automotive Shakers, Architectural Paint Mixers, Shakers for Ink Preparation, Industrial Products Blenders or
Tumbler and Debur Applications we have a heavy duty industrial mixer that meets your need!
Miracle Paint Rejuvenator’s Blue Boy Mixers are heavy duty quality built machines that offer dependable
operation throughout their lifetime.
The highly efficient, fast operating clamping system allows you to shake 1, 2, or 5 gallon steel or plastic pails
up to 80 pounds without the use of adapters.
To take full advantage of your mixer’s capabilities, you should understand its features and proper operation.
Before operating mixer read this manual completely and save for future reference.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
ALWAYS HAVE MACHINE PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
MBB-5-C
Your mixer MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. If there is an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock.
The machine’s power cord has a grounded plug. This plug must be inserted into an electrical outlet that is
properly installed and grounded according to all local codes and ordinances.
If you must repair or replace the power cord or plug, 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. Check with a qualified electrician if you don’t completely understand these grounding instructions, or if you are not sure whether the machine is properly grounded. DO NOT MODIFY the plug provided:
if it won’t fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Extension Cords
Avoid using extension cords. If an extension cord is unavoidable, consult a qualified electrician to determine
what type of extension cord will satisfy the grounding, current capacity, and other requirements of the particular situation.
MBB-5-C EXP
Must be installed by qualified electrician in compliance with the hazardous environment the mixing is taking
place in. Consult electrician for timer options. Have flexible conduit attached to motor to allow motor freedom for belt adjustment.
Do not wire explosion proof equipment with plug and cord, as this should be wired direct in accordance with
U.S. Underwriters’ Class 1,Group D specifications.
When connecting motor to line, either rotation is permissible.

Safety Precautions
1. Make sure can lids are tightly closed.
2. Do not mix breakable containers such as glass, porcelain, etc.
3. Ensure container is securely clamped.
4. All customers should be kept away from the work area.
5. The mixer should be operated by trained personnel only.
Mixing Procedure
1. Insert can in cradle and center it.
2. Bring the aluminum crossbars to the top and bottom of the can.
3. Tighten the wing nuts equally, insuring that the aluminum crossbars stay flat against the surface of the can.
4. Turn mixer on. The required time to mix latex or enamel material is approximately 2 to 3 minutes per gallon.
Maintenance Procedures
Always disconnect machine from power source before maintaining or servicing.
Cleaning:
Keep the machine clean. Colorant or paint spilled on the machine can be cleaned with warm soapy water. After washing, oil the 5/8” threaded rods with 3in1 oil. Be careful not to get the timer wet.
Lubrication:
Oil capacity is one pint - do not exceed. Oil level to be maintained is determined from the marking on the oil
gauge. Use number SAE 30 oil.
Keep the 5/8” threaded rods free of dirt, dried paint, and other materials. Once a week apply a thin film of
3in1 oil to the 5/8” threaded rods.
Belt Adjustment:
The belt adjustment screw is located on the base next to the drive housing. Belt should be tightened if belt
starts to squeal or machine mixing speed is noticeably slower. Loosen jam nut and turn adjustment screw
clockwise one turn at a time until mixer runs properly, tighten jam nut. Do not over-tighten belt which will put
strain on belt and motor bearing.
