The following steps outline the procedure for starting the engine.

6. Pull the starter grip (Figure 10) lightly until you feel
resistance, then pull briskly. Return the starter grip gently.
MIXING
1. The paddle shaft inside the drum should be rotating at
this time.
2. Lift the mixing bag compound onto the steel grate over
the bag cutter and let the contents fall into the drum.
3. Add water, and mix compound to desired consistency,
Be sure to stand clear of the dump
handle when the mixer is
operational. Any binding of material
between the mixer blades and the
drum will cause the drum handle to
move to the discharge position, thus
causing bodily harm.
7. Push the clutch engagement lever forward (Figure 11),
toward the tow end of the mixer. When engine starts adjust
throttle lever so that paddle shaft inside mixer rotates
between 30 - 40 RPM's. The number of RPM's will vary
depending on engine type and load.
