pour in the remaining water. Finally, ad the sand
and leave the mixer to mix away.
Once the mix is ready,
keep the drum turning while
you tip the drum forward to discharge its contents.
Be careful, use both hands on the handles and be
prepared for the transfer of weight as the mix moves to
the end of the drum.
Once emptied,
return the mixer to the upright
position. At this point it is a good idea to pour the
water for the next mix, into the drum.
This will help
rinse the drum as you use/lay the mixed load.
Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits.
If it will not do what you want with reasonable
ease, assume you have the wrong tool for the job. Ask at
your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Always switch OFF (and unplug if electric) the
mixer before making any adjustments to it.
Keep the equipment clean.
You will find this less of a
chore if you clean up regularly, rather than wait unit the
end of the hire period.
When not in use,
store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe
from thieves.
If using a petrol mixer, regularly check the fuel
level and top up as necessary
with unleaded petrol.
Regularly check the oil level-
when the engine is cold
and the mixer is on level ground. Withdraw the dipstick,
wipe it clean, then replace it, remove it a second time
and verify that the oil level is between the MIN & MAX
lines.
Top up as necessary.
Empty out any remaining mix and wash out the
rotating drum
with plenty of clean water- add gravel to
remove stubborn residue.
When the drum is clean,
switch OFF and leave the
drum in the discharge position to drain.
If using an ELECTRIC MIXER ...
Switch the mixer OFF and disconnect the mixer
from its power supply.
Neatly coil the flex and all leads
etc. ready for return.
If using a PETROL MIXER...
Set the throttle to minimum revs, turn OFF the
ON/OFF switch and close the fuel tap.
To remove the mixer from its stand simply reverse
the procedure in GETTING STARTED.
