LOADING THE MIXER
Start the mixer. Refer to motor/engine instructions. After drum has started rotating, pour
about half of the water in the drum.
NOTE: The drum my leak slightly when first used. This will stop after a few batches.
Add aggregate (gravel) first then cement and last sand.
UNLOADING THE MIXER Refer to Fig. 1
Allow the entire mixture to mix for one full minute. Do not stop mixer from rotating.
Hold the tilt handle and unlock the stop lever. Dump concrete to either side by tilting the tilt
handle in the direction required. Before reloading the mixer, slowly pour a pail of water over
the lip of the drum, permitting water to clean the inside of drum. When cleaned, dump water.
Now you are ready for your next batch.
CLEANING THE MIXER
After each run of concrete has been poured, do the following:
With the drum rotating, spray water into drum permitting the water to run down the inside
and outside of drum. Add one shovel full of coarse aggregate and permit this mixture to
scour the inside of drum for about two minutes.
This practice will help keep the drum clean, which is essential in obtaining the best mixing
result. Never permit concrete to harden on either the inside or outside of drum.
