OPERATION
STOPPING THE MIXER
To position the drum, make sure the mixer is placed on firm level ground, then pull up on the dump
latch (Figure 1) and turn the hand wheel until the drum is at the desired position. Once the drum is
at the desired position, pull down on the dump latch to lock the drum in position.
NEVER stand in front or behind the mixing drum while it is being placed in the dump position. Stay clear
of the mixing drum while it is being positioned.
As the drum rotates, use a shovel (Figure 2) to place the cement mix inside the drum, add water as
required.
Placing the shovel all the way inside the drum will cause the shovel to strike the blades. This condition
could cause injury to personnel. NEVER place hands inside the mixing drum while it is rotating
(Figure 3).
Turn the main start/stop switch to the STOP position.
Push the fuel shut-off lever to the OFF position.
Clear drum of all debris and foreign matter.
