Direction of rotation
WARNING
No persons may remain in the working area of the mixer!
Persons can suffer (serious) injury while the mixer is in operation! No persons may
therefore be present inside the working area. If persons should enter the mixer’s
working area, deactivate the mixer and safeguard it against being switched on again
by unauthorised persons!
The drive unit can be operated in clockwise or anti-clockwise rotation. The propeller’s
direction of rotation determines the direction of thrust exerted by the mixer:
ƒ
Clockwise rotation*:
Upward
direction of thrust
ƒ
Anti-clockwise rotation*:
Downward
direction of thrust
NOTICE! *The information on direction of rotation exclusively relates to the mixer
when viewed from above!
NOTICE! The propeller blade direction and direction of rotation must match!
NOTICE! The system-specific direction of rotation (DoR) is marked on the rating
plate!
