General

The MQ Model WM45H and WM45E plaster and mortar mixers are shipped completely assembled and each mixer has been factory tested.

The drum batch capacity of these mixers is between 1.5 and

2.5bags. With proper care it will give continuous service year after year.

These mixers can be powered by either a Honda GX160 gasoline engine or a 1 HP electric motor (115/230 VAC, 60 Hz). The shaft of the engine or electric motor is connected to a drive belt pulley which is attached to a main gear. As the main gear rotates it causes the paddle shaft to rotate.

Before Starting

Before starting if using a gasoline model mixer, read the engine owner's manual and thoroughly understand the safety information.

Check the items listed below:

Oil Levels (Gasoline Model Only)

Be sure to check the oil levels in the engine and engine reduction unit before starting the unit (gasoline model only).

Hardware

Check all hardware on the mixer before starting. Periodically inspect all hardware. Loose hardware can contribute to early component failure and poor performance. Use the torque chart below as a general guideline and keep all hardware tight:

HARDWARE DIA			TORQUE (lb./ft.)

For care and operation of the Honda engine, refer to the maintenance procedures in this manual and the engine manufacturer’s operating instructions furnished with the engine.
