EM-120SM — GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL
The Essick EM-120SM Series plaster and mortar mixers are
shipped completely assembled and have been factory tested.
The drum batch capacity of these mixers is between 3.5 and
4.0 bags. With proper care, they will give continuous service
year-after-year.
These mixers can be powered by either gasoline or electric
motors. The power from the engine is transmitted via the clutch/
reduction assembly directly to the paddle shaft. Therefore
providing high mixer torque and eliminating V-belts .
BEFORE STARTING
Before starting the engine, read the engine owners manual
and thoroughly understand the safety information.
Check the items listed below:
OIL LEVELS
Be sure to check the oil levels in the engine and engine reduction
unit before starting the unit.
HARDWARE
Check all hardware on the mixer before starting. Periodically
inspect all hardware. Loose hardware can contribute to early
component failure and poor performance. Use the torque chart
below as a general guideline and keep all hardware tight:
GASOLINE ENGINE CARE
For care and operation of the gasoline engine, refer to the
engine manufacturer’s operating instructions furnished with the
engine. We recommend draining and refilling the engine
crankcase at least every thirty hours of operation. Check the
engine oil level daily.
GASOLINE MIXER OFF/ON SWITCH
This feature is on gasoline engine mixers only. Located on the
side of the engine cover. The purpose of this switch is to start
and stop the mixer in normal operation.
ELECTRIC MOTOR MIXER OFF/ON SWITCH
This feature is on electric motor mixers only. This switch is located
on top of the motor. Lift the engine cover to gain access to this
switch. The purpose of this switch is to start and stop the mixer
in normal operation. Never use the electric motor in an explosive
environment.

uses four different types of paddles to provide a fast uniform mix.
Dump Handle — Pull this handle downward to dump the contents
of the drum. Push the handle upward to return the drum to its
vertical position.
Zerk Fitting — There is, on each end of the mixing drum a zerk
grease fitting. These fittings lubricate the dumping mechanism.
Lubricate both fittings at least twice a week.

EM-120SM — TOWING
NOTE
Before towing, check with local and state laws for proper
compliance.
The tow bar and chain must be properly attached to the mixer
and towing vehicle prior to towing. Refer to the following
installation instruction:
Step 1.
Insert the Draw Bar into the main frame. Secure, utilizing the 3/4"
bolt (grade 5) and nylock nut. Tighten to 100 foot pounds.
STEP 1

BOLT & NUT
REMOVE EXCESS
CHAIN (SLACK)
It is critical that the length of the chain be properly
adjusted, to prevent the
stand from dropping to the ground (contact) in the event
the Draw Bar becomes disconnected from the towing
vehicle.
If a new safety chain is required use P/N 13363. For a new
connector link use P/N 01004.

BALL HITCH COUPLER
1. Check vehicle hitch, ball, and coupler for signs of wear or
damage. Replace any parts that are worn or damaged
before towing.
2. Use only the 2" ball diameter as indicated on your coupler.
Use of any other ball diameter will create an extremely
dangerous condition which can result in separation of the
coupler and ball or ball failure.
3. Be sure the coupler is secured to the hitch ball and the lock
lever is down tight and locked.
Recheck tightness again after towing about 50 miles.
4. Check that trailer safety chains are properly connected.
■
Check the following before towing:
Extend the chain along the length of the Draw Bar, remove excess
chain (slack) and secure to bottom connector link. Secure the
chain to the towing vehicle, using the connector link.
