Safety:
Please follow the below safety precautions. If there are any questions, please call INDCO at 800-942-4383. Please read this com-
plete manual before trying to operate your mixer. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious bodily injury or death.
• Do not touch moving parts while mixer is operating.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothes or jewelry around an operating mixer. Keep all hands, feet, clothes, neckties, necklaces
and other ojects clear of moving parts.
• Never move the unit without a suitable lifting device.
• Have a qualified individual bring power to the unit.
• Always ground the unit. Never use an extension cord.
• Never run the unit in open air.
• Never adjust the speed without the unit running.
• Always lockout the power when working on the unit.
ELECTRIC MOTOR SAFETY
:
Motors should be installed, protected and fused in accordance with latest issue of National Electrical Code, NEMA Standard
Publication No. MG 2 and local codes. Frames and accessories of motors should be grounded in accordance with National
Electrical Code (NEC) Article 430. For general information on grounding refer to NEC Article 250. Not all rotating parts are
guarded. Keep hands and clothing away from moving parts. Trained, qualified personnel should make electrical repairs and non-
standard connections. If environment has hazardous combustible fumes present, use only explosion-proof electric motors.
AIR MOTOR SAFETY
:
The air motor is designed to be driven by compressed air and under no circumstances be driven with any other gases. Fluids,
particles, solids or any substance mixed with air, particularly combustible substances likely to cause explosions, must not drive air
motor.
• Do not drive with flammable or explosive gases or operate unit in an atmosphere containing them.
• Air motor is designed for air only. Do not allow corrosive gases or particulate material to enter motor. Water vapor, oil-
based contaminants, or other liquids must be filtered out.
• Do not use a hammer or force coupling or drive pulley onto shaft when installing drive onto air motor. This causes end
thrust that could damage air motor.
• Ambient temperature should not exceed 250°F.
• Beware of any exposed and/or movable parts. Proper guards should be in place to prevent personal and/or property
damage.
• Solid or liquid material exiting unit can cause eye or skin damage. Keep away from air stream.
• Always disconnect air supply before servicing.
• Do not allow air motor to “run free” at high speeds with no loads. Excessive internal heat build-up, loss of internal
clearances and rapid motor damage will result.
• Some models may exceed 85dB(A) sound level.
General:
INDCO bracket mount mixers are excellent for agitation of light to medium viscosity materials. The standard mounting bracket
fits totes and other containers between 34” and 48” wide. These units are easily movable from one container to another.
• TEFC models are supplied with cord, plug and switch.
• EP models must be wired by the user.
• Variable Speed Electric models have a speed controller mounted on the mixer, pre-wired and power cord.
