6. The drum should be rotating allowing the mixing process to
begin. Use a shovel (Figure 19) to place the cement mix
inside the drum, add water as required. Be careful to only
place the
tip of the shovel inside the drum. Placing the shovel
all the way inside the drum will cause the shovel to strike the
blades. This condition will make the shovel rotate, and could
cause injury to personnel.
