APPLICATION
This mixer is only intended for the production of concrete.
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. Use Table 4 (Mixing Hints) as a guide when
mixing concrete for various applications.
POWER PLANTS
The mixer can be powered by a Honda GX160/GX240
air-cooled, 4-stroke gasoline engine or a 1.5 HP electric
motor. Refer to Table 3 to for specific engine or electric
motor data information.
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 the OFF/ON switch on the electric motor
is in the OFF position before applying power.
It is strongly recommended when inserting the mixer's
power cord into a receptacle, that a G.F.C.I. (Ground
Fault Current Interrupter) receptacle be used (120 VAC
applications).
HARDWARE
Check all hardware on the mixer before starting. Periodically
inspect all hardware. Loose hardware can contribute
to early component failure and poor performance. Use
Table 5 as general guideline when the torqueing of mixer
hardware is required. Remember to keep all mixer hardware
components tight.
