Important Pre-Startup Notifications
Important Pre-Startup Notifications
1. Make sure the gear speed reducer is filled with the proper weight and amount of oil. (Gear boxes are
shipped
without
oil from the factory.) The recommended level and types of lubricants are listed in
the factory manual supplied with the reducer. Running the machine without oil will cause serious
damage to the gearbox
that will not be covered under warranty.
2. Make sure the air operated discharge gates compressed air is plumbed to the cylinder correctly and
that you are running sufficient air pressure to the cylinders. A filter and regulator should be included
in the air supply system to provide 90-110 PSI of clean dry air to the cylinders.
3. On some machines, there is a short break in period. During this period the inside of the tub and the
agitator will polish and become smooth and decrease the amount of drag or friction on the agitator. It
may be necessary to run smaller batches until this is accomplished to keep from drawing excessive
horsepower.
4. The mixer should be installed on solid footings. Failure to do so will result in unnecessary
vibration. Vibration will result in extensive bearing wear and create machinery noise.
5. Make sure all hardware is properly tightened and parts are in good working order. Components can
become loose during shipment. Failure to check components can result in damage to equipment.
Please examine the machine closely before start up.
6. Check the rotation of the machine main shafts. An arrow located on the drive end of the machine will
indicate which direction the shafts should turn. Wiring diagrams for the motors are given on the
motor nameplate.
Lifting the Horizontal Mixer
Before You Begin
1. Lifting of equipment must be done using hoists that are designed for the total weight of the
equipment.
2. Ensure that the area below the raised equipment is clear of people.
3. Do not lift from the underside or tub area. Lifting on the channel base is acceptable, if done properly.
4. Consider the center of gravity of the equipment when lifting.
NOTE:
Refer to the certified drawing provided for approximate total weight of each mixer before lifting.
