always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious personal
injury.
Lubrication
Before every use, and while the mixing drum and
blades are clean and dry, wipe down the inside
of the mixing drum and blades with a light coat of
vegetable oil. this will prevent most cement from
sticking to these surfaces and will make cleaning
very easy.
A faster alternative to wiping the oil on would be to
spray it on with a commercial sprayer.

while cleaning. if you do, allow the compo-
nents to thoroughly dry before plugging in the

after using it. As a general rule, the sooner
you clean, the easier it will be.

or pounded off with a hammer; however,
these actions Will damage the surface area
of the drum, making it harder to clean in the
future.
