Initial Start-up (Engine/electric motor)
1.Grasp the starter grip (Figure 12) and slowly pull it out. The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position, corresponding to the compression point. Pull the starter grip briskly and smoothly for starting.
Figure 12. Starter Grip
2.If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 13) to the "CLOSED" position. If the engine has not started repeat steps 1 through 6.
Figure 13. Choke Lever (Closed)
3.Before the mixer is placed in to operation, run the engine for several minutes. Check for fuel leaks, and noises that would associate with a lose component.
4.To begin mixing, place the throttle lever (Figure 14) in the “RUN” position.
Figure 14. Throttle Lever (Run)
CAUTION
ALWAYS run engine at full speed while mixing.
Starting the Electric motor
1.Using an adequate size extension cord (see Table 4), connect one end of the extension cord to the plug on the electric motor, connect the other end to the power source. Make sure the motor is configured for the proper operating voltage.
2.Set the electric motor's ON/OFF switch (Figure 15) to the ON position.

Mixing Dumping
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.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
NEVER disable or disconnect the engine start/stop switch (Figure 17). It is provided for operator safety. Serious Injury may result if it is disabled, disconnected or improperly maintained.
