Mixing
Mixer setting:
To make concrete or mortar, the mixing drum must be locked in a
specific position. Only the proper mixer setting ensures optimal
mixing results and smooth operation.
Hold rotating lever or handwheel tightly while rotating.
Loosen the rotating mechanism.
Rotate the mixing drum up to the appropriate recess for the
material you are mixing.
allow rotating mechanism to lock into place.
Additional safety instructions
•
Only fill or empty the mixing drum when the motor is running.
•
Check the stability of the mixer.
Preparing material for mixing:
1. Pour in water and few shovels full of aggregate (sand, gravel,
...).
2. Add a few shovels full of binding agent (cement, lye, ...).
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you reach the proportions required
for mixing.
4. Allow material to mix thoroughly.
Have a professional advise you regarding the composition
and quality of the material being mixed.
Emptying the mixing drum:
Hold the rotating lever or handwheel tightly
1. Unlock rotating mechanism or step on brake
2. Slowly tilt mixing drum
Transport
Pull plug each time before transport.
Point the opening of the mixing drum downwards during
transport or storage.
Storage
In order to increase the service life of the concrete mixer
and operate it without glitches, the rotating mechanism
should be treated with an environmentally compatible spray
oil before the mixer is put into storage for unusually long
periods.
Cleaning
Additional safety instructions
Pull plug each time before cleaning.
•
Switch off machine and pull plug if you have to touch the
machine (with hand, brush, scraper, rag, etc.) while cleaning
it.
•
Protective devices removed for cleaning must be properly
remounted before starting the machine.
•
Do not spray water directly on the motor or the switch, nor on
the ventilation apertures in the motor housing.
Notes on cleaning:
•
Before taking a break and after finishing work, clean the
concrete mixer inside and out.
•
Do not pound on the mixing drum with hard objects
(hammer, shovel, etc.). A dented mixing drum impairs mixing
operations and is difficult to clean, besides.
•
To clean the inside of the drum, put in some water and a few
shovels full of gravel and set the drum to revolving.
•
Remove any concrete or mortar left sticking to the teeth of
the axle-drive bevel gear or the crown gear segments
immediately.
Maintenance
The concrete mixer requires practically no maintenance.
The mixing drum and drive shaft are bedded on ball bearings with
permanent lubrication.
Never grease the ring gear!
To preserve the value of the mixer and increase its service life,
handle it as described in "Transport and storage". Furthermore,
the concrete mixer should be checked regularly for signs of wear
and tear or functional deficiencies. This applies especially to
moving parts, screw connections, protective devices and
electrical parts.
