1 – SAFETY PRECAUTIONS THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS ARE SUGGESTED TO HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS. A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE BEST OPERATOR. MOST ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED BY OBSERVING CERTAIN PRECAUTIONS. READ AND PRACTICE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT TO HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS. EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY BY THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE AND HAVE BEEN PROPERLY INSTRUCTED. Read all operating and maintenance instruction before operating or servicing the mixer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
