This will allow the operator to use both hands on the drum handle during dumping. Please note that when the lock pin is placed to the left, the drum will be maintained in the vertical position as the paddles rotate. To discharge the material the operator should hold the dump handle with both hands and rotate the drum to discharge the desired amount of material.

WARNING

Be sure to stand clear of the dump handle (Figure 20) when the mixer is operational. Any binding of material between the mixer blades and the drum will cause the dump handle to quickly move and could cause bodily harm.

STAND CLEAR OF DUMP HANDLE.

HANDLE KICK-BACK IS POSSIBLE.
