Grizzly H8172 Mixer User Manual


 
-12- H8172 Cement Mixer
Follow the tips below when using the cement
mixer:
Before using your cement mixer, coat the
inside of the mixing drum with a light layer of
oil. Refer to Lubrication on Page 13 for more
details.
Spray the inside surface of the cement mixer
with a small amount of water before adding
cement (in addition to the lubrication steps
above). This will make it easier to clean after
operation. Avoid spraying water on the switch
or motor cover!
The mixer works more effectively and quickly
when batches are half the maximum recom
-
mended mixture load, or if mixture materials
are added slowly (while mixing), rather than
all at one time.
The maximum recommended mixture load is
3.2 cubic feet. This equates to:
— Six 60 lb. bags
Four 90 lb. bags
