APPLICATION
This mixer is intended for the mixing of plaster and mortar
only. The mixer must be used for its intended purpose and
is not suitable for the mixing of flammable or explosive
substances. The mixer must not be used in an explosive
atmosphere.
The drum capacity of this mixer is 9.0 cubic feet
(254.9 liters) with a batch capacity of 2.5 to 3.5 bags. The
mixer has been factory tested and is shipped completely
assembled, ready for use.
POWER PLANTS
The mixer is powered by either a Honda GX240 air-cooled,
4-stroke, gasoline engine or a 3-horsepower electric motor.
Refer to Table 4 for engine/motor specifications.
ELECTRICAL
If the 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 the ON/OFF switch on the electric motor
is in the OFF position before applying power.
When inserting the mixer's power cord into a receptacle,
it is strongly recommended that a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle be used (120 VAC
applications).
