OPERATION
Loading the drum
IMPORTANT:
Completely unwind an extension cord (not supplied). Connect it to the
concrete mixer first before connecting to a power supply.
IMPORTANT:
Always start the mixer before loading the drum. Load the drum while
it’s rotating.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure material is not all loaded into the mixer at once. Add the
material steadily over the mixing blades instead to avoid the material from sticking to
the back of the drum.
Note:
A built-in thermal protector has been built into the motor to prevent it from
overheating. The thermal protector restores automatically when the motor cools down.
For best loading results, proceed as follows:
•
Add the required amount of stone into the drum.
• Add the required amount of sand into the drum.
•
Add the required amount of cement into the drum.
•
Pour the required amount of water into the drum.
Warnings:
1.
Do not let the shovel mouth or any other devices enter the drum mouth
during loading.
2.
Never place hands inside the revolving drum.
3.
Place the mixer as close as possible to the work site. Do not move the mixer
when loaded. The front handle is only to be used to move the mixer when
the drum is empty.
4.
Re-tighten all bolts and nuts after mixing for the first time.
Emptying the drum
IMPORTANT:
Do not turn the mixer off while it’s full of material. Empty the drum with
the drum rotating.
Pour the mixed concrete by releasing the drum lock mechanism and lifting the dump
control handle while the machine is running. Be sure to pour the mix slowly and
smoothly to avoid tilting the concrete mixer.
