CMG5 2.5 Cu Ft. Cement Mixer 7
USING THE CEMENT MIXER
• USE ONLY OUTDOORS IN NON-CONFINED AREAS. DO NOT SECURE WITH A CHAIN OR ROPE, AS THIS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO
MOVE IN AN EMERGENCY.
• Keep at least several feet of clearance on all sides to allow proper ventilation.
Add material to the Drum. Typical maximum quantities include: 2 gallons water with 3 shovels of cement and 15 shovels aggregate rock. Disengage
the locking pins on the Arm and push on Arm until the desired angle is reached. Re-engage the locking pins.
Once materials are mixed, tilt Drum and dump materials where needed. The materials are dumped while the Drum is rotating. Tilt the Drum angle as
far down as possible to drain all fluids from Drum. Clean, then store indoors and out of children’s reach.
BELT TENSION
Retighten belt after the first 25 hours of use. To test the tension, remove belt cover. Examine belt for cracks, tears in the backing, or other damage.
Replace belt if damaged according to these steps: Loosen the motor bracket bolts and slide the bracket up as far as possible. Slide the old belt off of
the larger pulley first, then remove it from the motor pulley. Put the new belt around the small pulley first, then around the large pulley. Move the
motor bracket down the belt until it is properly tensioned according to the directions below. Tighten the motor bracket bolts.
Check and adjust belt tension according to these steps: Press on the center of the longest span on the belt with moderate finger pressure. Then
measure the deflection distance, the distance that the belt moved. The belt should deflect anywhere from 1/2” to 3/4”.
If the belt deflects too much, tighten belt by loosening the motor mounting bolts and moving the motor away from the other pulley slightly. Secure
motor mounting bolts and retest tension. If the belt is too long to be properly tensioned, it must be replaced.
If the belt deflects too little, loosen the motor bracket bolts and lift it upward. Secure motor mounting bracket and retest tension.
Before use, replace belt motor cover.
