CARE AND MAINTENANCE
STARTING WORK
Inspect the power cable and ensure it is completely free from damage and
is not in danger of being damaged by vehicles, equipment or other
operations taking place on the work site.
Important: Do not load the drum when the machine is switched off. Always
set the machine running before filling.
AFTER USE
It is essential that the machine is hosed down thoroughly with clean water,
being sure to remove all traces of cement mix especially from around the
mixing blades, Take care to prevent water from entering the motor housing
and if necessary, wrap a polythene sheet or bag over it during cleaning.
PERIODICALLY
It is recommended that the collar occasionally be removed and grease
smeared on the drive teeth underside of the lower rim. Ensure the collar is
replaced correctly.
After extensive use, inspect the paintwork and remove any rust that may be
apparent before touching up where necessary with a rust resistant paint.
It may be benificial to inject a few drops of light oil into the lubrication points
located on top of the bearing blocks and rotate the drum to ensure
distribution of oil around the bearing surface.
STORAGE
By removing the higher of the two
bolts connecting the legs to the frame,
the leg/axle assemblies can be
hinged, so as to collapse the machine
to low level as shown in Fig 10. The
lower bolts will need to be slackened
off for this.
The wheels can still be used for
mobility in this position. Always replace
the bolts loosely in their normal
positions during storage.
CAUTION; OWING TO THE WEIGHT OF THE MACHINE, TWO PEOPLE WILL
BE REQUIRED TO UNBOLT THE SUPPORTING COMPONENTS AND SAFELY
LOWER THE MIXER TO THIS POSITION.
