6. The drum should be rotating allowing the mixing process to
begin. Use a shovel (Figure 19) to place the cement mix
inside the drum, add water as required. Be careful to only
place the tip of the shovel inside the drum. Placing the shovel
all the way inside the drum will cause the shovel to strike the
blades. This condition will make the shovel rotate, and could
cause injury to personnel.

6. See Table 3 for mixing hints. NEVER! place hands inside the
drum while the drum is rotating.
ALWAYS read the label on the electric motor
before applying power. The label will indicate
the proper power requirements for the motor.
Remember the use of any other input voltage
will severely damage the motor.
To prevent tripping (Figure 18) of both the mixer
and personnel, position the extension cord so
that it lays flat and is not curled underneath the
mixer.
