Starting the Electric Motor

WC-42S CONCRETE MIXER — INITIAL START-UP (ELECT. MOTOR)

Initial Start-up Instructions (Electric Motor)

Starting

CAUTION:

5.Plug the other end of the extension cord into a 120 VAC G.F.C.I.protected receptacle. Rememberthepowerrequire- ments for this electric motor is 120 VAC, 60 Hz. The use of any other input voltage will severely damage the motor.

DO NOT attempt to operate the mixer until the Safety, General Information and Inspection sections have been read and understood.

1.Before starting, make sure mixer is positioned on a secure flat surface to prevent rolling.

2.Use an extension cord (see Table 5) of adequate current carrying capacity, insert the electric motor's power plug into one end of the extension cord.

3.NEVER! use a worn or frayed extension cord.

4.NEVER! operate mixer withV-belt cover removed.

DANGER

NEVER! touch the power cord (Figure 15) with wet hands or while standing in water when it is connected to a power source.The possibly exists of electrical shock (electrocution) even death. NEVER! spray water directly on the electric motor.

CAUTION:

ALWAYS read the label on the electric motor before applying power.The label will indicate the proper power requirements for the motor. Remember the use of any other input voltage will severely damage the motor.

To prevent tripping (Figure 16) of both the mixer and personnel, position the extension cord so that it lays flat and is not curled underneath the mixer.

Figure 15. Extension Cord (Wet Hands)

To prevent personnel from tripping over the extension cord, position the

NOTE extension cord so that it lays flat and is not curled underneath the mixer.

Figure 16. Mixer (Tripping)

WARNING:

ALWAYS read the label on the electric motor before applying power.The label will indicate the correct power requirements for the motor. Remember the use of an incorrect input voltage will severely damage the electric motor.

1.Set the electric motor's ON/OFF switch (Figure 17) to the ON position.
