Technical Data
Location and Use of Controls
Before operating this unit, it is important to
familiarize yourself, and any other personnel who
will be using it, with the location and proper use of
the controls to insure safe and efficient operation.
A. Always make sure that the drum latch is in the
lock position (down) before starting up machine.
With engine running, turn clutch lever to the
right to turn paddles or to the left to stop.
B. To dump mix from drum, stop paddles, move
drum latch up and pull dump handle down.
Always use caution when dumping mix.
C. Always grease drum seals as recommended in
the maintenance chart. The grease purges dirt--
prolonging bearing life.
D. Always keep drum and paddles clean. Never run
machine with hardened mix or foreign objects in
drum--doing so damages paddles and/or engine.
