Using the Drum
DANGER
Contact with the mixing paddles could cause
damage or injury.
Never put your hands inside the drum at any time.
Dumping the Drum
Note: When dumping a batch of material, leave the engine
running and the clutch in the On position so the rotating
paddles help discharge the material.
1. Align a wheelbarrow or similar container of adequate
capacity in the path of the drum opening.
2. Grasp the dump handle with your left hand (Figure 34).
1. Dump handle (mix

2. Drum latch (release
position)
Note: When dumping a batch of material, align a
wheelbarrow or a similar container of adequate capacity
beneath the chute.
3. Lift the handle of the drum latch (Figure 34).
4. With both hands on the dump handle, rotate it
counterclockwise to discharge the contents of the
drum (Figure 34).
Note: Allow the machine to completely discharge the
contents of the drum.
5. Rotate the dump handle clockwise until the drum
latch locks the drum in the upright position (Figure 34).
