Follow the tips below when using the cement mixer:
•Before using your cement mixer, coat the inside of the mixing drum with a light layer of oil. Refer to Lubrication on Page 13 for more details.
•Spray the inside surface of the cement mixer with a small amount of water before adding cement (in addition to the lubrication steps above). This will make it easier to clean after operation. Avoid spraying water on the switch or motor cover!
•The mixer works more effectively and quickly when batches are half the maximum recom- mended mixture load, or if mixture materials are added slowly (while mixing), rather than all at one time.
•The maximum recommended mixture load is
3.2 cubic feet. This equates to:
—Six 60 lb. bags
—Four 90 lb. bags
Do not put hands, shovels, or other tools into the mixing drum while it is turning, or injury or equipment damage may occur.
Children can hurt themselves if playing on this mixer. If this machine is not stored in a locked facility, always disconnect power when leaving it unattended.
