MIX N' GO MIXER — GENERAL INFORMATION

APPLICATION

This mixer is only intended for the production of concrete, mortar and plaster. The mixer must be used for its intended purposes and is not suitable for the mixing of flammable or explosive substances. The mixer must not be used in an explosive atmosphere.

POWER PLANTS

This portable mixer is powered by either a Honda G100K2, 4-stroke, side valve, single cylinder, gasoline engine rated at 2.5 hp @3,600 rpm. or a 0.75 hp electric motor.

DRUM ASSEMBLY

The drum is instantly removable by unscrewing counter- clockwise. When inserting drum onto gearbox shaft, make sure that drum is fully screwed onto shoulder or threads may be damaged. Use extreme care when screwing on the drum, spinning drum onto the gearbox shaft too fast may damage gearbox.

ELECTRICAL

If mixer is equipped with an electric motor, make sure that the power being supplied to the motor corresponds to the voltage rating label on the motor. Supplying the wrong voltage to the electric motor will cause severe electrical damage to the motor.

Always make sure that OFF/ON switch on the electric motor is in the OFF position before applying power.

It is strongly recommended that when plugging in the mixer's power cord into a receptacle, that a G.F.C.I. (Ground Fault Current Interrupter) receptacle be used.

EXTENSION CABLES

The extension cable should be a 3-wire configuration that includes a ground wire that conforms to UL code. The wire cross section must be a minimum of 2.5 mm2 . Choose an extension cord of adequate current carrying as Reference in Table 5. Remember distance affects the wire size of the extension cable.

Ensure that the extension cable is carefully laid out avoid- ing wet areas, sharp edges and locations where vehicles might run over it. Avoid allowing the extension cable to be trapped underneath the mixer.

Unroll the extension cable fully or it will overheat and could catch fire. Make sure that all extension cable connections are dry and safe. Replace any defective or badly worn ex- tension cable immediately.
