bag cutter and let the contents fall into the drum.
3. Add water, and mix compound to desired consistency.
4. When charging, mixing, or dumping a batch of plaster or
mortar the drum lock pin should be placed to the left
(when viewing the mixer from the towpole end) of the drum
stop block which is welded to the front side of the drum.
See Figure 22.
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 only rotate in a clockwise
direction. When the dump handle is released, the drum will
return to an upright position.
