SILICOSIS/RESPIRATORY WARNINGS

WARNING

SILICOSIS WARNING RESPIRATORY HAZARDS

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow the respiratory precautions mentioned above.

WARNING

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials. California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful effects.

Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the materials being used.

GENERAL INFORMATION

APPLICATION

The MQ Whiteman WM63 Series mixers (drum capacity of 6.3 cu. ft./178 liters) are shipped completely assembled and have been factory tested and are ready for use.

This mixer is only intended for the production of plaster and mortar. The mixer must be used for its intended purpose and is not suitable for the mixing of ﬂammable or explosive substances. The mixer must not be used in an explosive atmosphere. This mixer has a batch capacity between 2-1/2 and 3-1/2 bags.

POWER PLANTS

The WM63 Series mixer can be equipped with either a Honda GX160 or GX240 air-cooled, 4-stroke gasoline engine. In addition this mixer is also available with a 1.5 HP electric motor with that can be conﬁgured for either 115 or 230 VAC operation by means of a voltage selector switch. Refer to Table 2 for speciﬁc engine or electric motor information.

ELECTRICAL

If mixer is equipped with an electric motor, make sure that the power being supplied to the motor corresponds to the voltage rating label on the motor. Supplying the wrong voltage to the electric motor will cause severe electrical damage to the motor.

Ensure that the extension cable is carefully laid out avoiding wet areas, sharp edges and locations where vehicles might run over it. Avoid allowing the extension cable to be trapped underneath the mixer.

Unroll the extension cable fully or it will overheat and could catch ﬁre. Make sure that all extension cable connections are dry and safe. Replace any defective or badly worn extension cable immediately.

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 Table 4 as a general guideline when torqueing of mixer hardware is required. Remember to keep all mixer hardware components tight.

Table 4. Hardware Torque Recommendations

Hardware Diameter Torque (ft-lbs)

5/16-inch x 18 14

3/8-inch x 16 24

3/8-inch x 24 37

1/2-inch x 13 39

1/2-inch x 13

(Grade 8)

Always make sure the OFF/ON switch on the electric motor is in the OFF position before applying power.

It is strongly recommended when inserting the mixer's power cord into a receptacle, that a G.F.C.I. (Ground Fault Current Interrupter) receptacle be used (115 VAC applications).

Extension Cables

The extension cable should be a 3-wire conﬁguration that includes a ground wire that conforms to UL code. The wire cross section must be a minimum of 2.5 mm2. Choose an extension cord of adequate current carrying capacity as referenced in Table 6. Remember cable distance affects the current-voltage capacity of the extension cable.

Also, examine the belt and determine if it is oil soaked or "glazed " (hard shiny appearance on the sides of the belt). Either of these two conditions can cause the belt to run hot, which can weaken it and increase the danger of it breaking.

If the V-belt exhibits any of the above wear conditions replace the V-belt immediately.

BASIC ENGINE

Figure 11. Engine Components

INITIAL SERVICING

The engine (Figure 11) must be checked for proper lubrication and ﬁlled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for instructions and details of operation and servicing.

2. Throttle Lever — Used to adjust engine RPM speed (lever advanced forward SLOW, lever back toward operator FAST).

3. Engine ON/OFF Switch — ON position permits engine starting, OFF position stops engine operations.

4. Recoil Starter (pull rope) — Manual-starting method. Pull the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and smoothly.

5. Fuel Valve Lever — OPEN to let fuel ﬂow, CLOSE to stop the ﬂow of fuel.

6. Choke Lever — Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel mixture.

7. Air Cleaner — Prevents dirt and other debris from entering the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air ﬁlter cannister to gain access to ﬁlter element.

NOTICE

Operating the engine without an air filter, with a damaged air ﬁlter, or a ﬁlter in need of replacement will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.

WARNING

1. Fuel Filler Cap — Remove this cap to add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened securely. DO NOT over ﬁll.

DANGER

Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT attempt to

start the engine until the fuel residue has been completely wiped up, and the area surrounding the engine is dry.

Engine components can generate extreme heat. To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas while the engine is running or immediately after operating. NEVER operate the engine with the mufﬂer removed.

8. Spark Plug — Provides spark to the ignition system. Set spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.028 - 0.031 inch) Clean spark plug once a week.

9. Mufﬂer — Used to reduce noise and emissions.

10. Fuel Tank — Holds unleaded gasoline. For additional information refer to engine owner's manual.
