MAINTENANCE
1. Place the cement mixer on a solid, even and level surface.
2. Connect the power cord to an electric outlet (or properly rated grounded three prong extension cord).
3. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the cement mixer. Check for loose hardware, misalignment or binding of moving parts,
cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, damaged or cracked V-belt, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
4. After Use, immediately wash out all debris from the inside and outside of the cement mixer. Scrub the inside of the drum with a long handled
bristle brush for best results. Wipe external surfaces of the cement mixer with clean cloth.
5. DO NOT apply water in or around the motor housing or motor housing cover.
6. PERIODICALLY recheck all fasteners and other connections for tightness.
WARNING! If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced only by a qualified service technician.
Belt Inspection & Tensioning
The V-belt must be retightened after the first 25 hours of use. To test the tension, follow these steps.
1. Remove the motor housing cover.
2. Examine V-belt for cracks, tears in the backing, or other damage. Replace V-belt if damaged.
3. Check and adjust V-belt tension. Press on the center of the longest span on the belt with moderate finger pressure. Then measure the
deflection distance, the distance that the V-belt moved. The belt should deflect anywhere from 1/2" to 3/4". See Fig.12.
