cowl open.
With drum operating between 20 - 25 RPM's the mixer
is now ready for the addition of the concrete mix. For
best results proceed as follows:
1. Pour the required amount of water into
drum.
2. Add the required amount of gravel.
3. Add the required amount of cement.
4. Add the required amount of sand.
By adding the water and gravel first the drum will be
kept clean and a good tumbling action will be added.
To discharge concrete, grasp handwheel firmly with
one hand and release tilt brake by pushing up on the tilt
handle with the other, (see diagram below).
To prevent accidental discharge, never release brake
without holding the handwheel firmly. Do not attempt
to grab handwheel to stop an accidental discharge,
serious injury could result. Always make sure that the
brake is fully engaged after discharge of concrete and
before reloading drum.
After discharge of concrete, immediately pour in the
required amount of water for the next batch.
NOTE:
When servicing brake mechanism, bolt A
should be tightened so that approximately 17 - 18
pounds of force is required to release the brake. This
will prevent accidental discharge due to vibration.
