over the bag cutter and let the contents fall into the drum.
Add more water if desired and mix compound to desired
consistency.

(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 21.
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 be maintained in the
vertical position as the paddles rotate. To discharge the
