Maintenance Instructions
GB
Before starting any maintenance or repairs, stop engine or switch off motor, and isolate from the main power supply.
On completion of maintenance, check that the mixer functions correctly and that all guards are correctly fi tted.
ELECTRIC MOTORS
All portable electric appliances are dangerous if abused. This machine will only operate on one voltage. Check the power supply to
ensure it corresponds to the voltage as stamped on the motor. Make sure that the motor is switched off before you plug it into the
power supply.
220/240v
-Always use a Residual Current Device (“RCD”), (earth leakage trip), plugged directly into the 220/240v socket. If using an
extension cable, plug it directly into the
RCD.
110v
-When using a portable transformer it must have a minimum output of 6.3kw and be continuously rated.
- DO
NOT
use an extension cable between the transformer and the power supply.
The symbols on the ON/OFF switch are 0=OFF and I=ON in accordance with international standards.
EXTENSION CABLES
If you need to use an extension cable it must be no longer than 30 metres (100 feet) in length. The wire section for 220/240v must be
2.5mm2. The wire section for 110v must be 4mm2 on 100T and 6mm2 on other models. Ensure that the extension cable is
carefully laid out avoiding liquids, sharp edges and places where vehicles might run over it. Unroll it fully or it will overheat and could
catch fi re. Make sure that any extension cable connections are dry and safe.
COMBUSTION ENGINES
-
Be aware of exhaust venting directions.
The engine needs a regular oil check.Try not to run low on fuel as this may result in sediment from the bottom of the tank doing
damage to the injector and pump.
Repairs and rectifi cation of pipework and components affected by contaminants in fuel
cannot be accepted as warranty, neither will faults caused or contributed to by the machine running out of fuel.
You may
need to bleed the fuel system free of air before starting. For initial engine fi ll or top up use a suitable engine oil of a 10W/30 grade. In
your own interests read the makers instruction leafl et issued with the machine before starting up.
DRUM (Removal and Fitment)
This can be instantly removed by unscrewing it counter clockwise in the vertically up position. Lift the drum off the machine using a
fork lift, with the forks under the base of the drum. When replacing make sure that the drum shaft is greased before it is fully
screwed down on to the shoulder of the shaft, ensure the drum is fully screwed down on to the shoulder or damage will occur. Take
care when screwing on the drum, spinning on fast may damage the gearbox.
CLEANING
Wipe off any external material.
DO NOT
use petrol, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry cleaning fl uids or similar products. Never
let any liquids near the engine/motor. Use 1” gravel and clean water to clean the inside of the drum.
- DO
NOT
use bricks etc. as this will damage the drum.
DRIVE BELT
- DO
NOT
try to adjust with the engine / motor running.
- DO
NOT
run slack.
- DO
NOT
operate machine with guards removed.
The drive belt is under constant even tension by a spring loaded jockey, this requires no attention. The bearings are sealed for life.
GEARBOX OIL
Note:
The original gearbox oil is a synthetic oil and must not be mixed with a mineral oil.
Full gearbox fi ll 1.0 ltrs, check regularly.
The gearbox was originally fi lled with: Total :- Transmission W 75W/90 viscosity
Equivalent oils:
Shell :- Tivela SA, Tivela WA, Dentax W
Mobil :- Glygoyle 22
Texaco :- Synlube 90
Castrol :- WM or Alpha SN150
Esso :- GX 75W/90
Caltex :- Synthetic gear lubricant
LUBRICATION AND RUNNING
See Maintenance Schedule Section and Operating Instructions.
Remember that diesel engines vibrate more, so regularly check all nuts and bolts are tight.
