§
§
Read all mixer and electric motor/engine instructions before operation.  
Use a grounded, three wire plug-in for all mixers using an electric motor or an  
electric starting engine.  
§
§
Do not use mixer in standing water if powered by an electric motor or an electric  
starting engine.  
Do not over-fill the mixer. There should not be any liquid running out of the mixer  
drum.  
§
§
§
§
Know how to stop the motor/engine instantly.  
Keep hands and feet away from all moving parts.  
If you are unfamiliar with the mixer, test run the empty mixer prior to actual use.  
Never charge or fill unit prior to starting, as the over-load initially encountered could  
damage the motor/engine.  
§
Stop motor/engine whenever you leave or clean the unit. Disconnect power cord on  
electric motor.  
§
§
Never operate mixer without guards being properly positioned and secure.  
Avoid spilling gasoline. Never fill tank while the engine is running or while you are  
smoking.

2-OPERATION  
DRUM SPEED  
The mixer drum should revolve between 20 and 25 R.P.M.’s for best results in  
mixing concrete. To obtain this speed using a 1725/1800 R.P.M. electric motor, use a  
2” diameter “A” section V-pulley.  
If using a 6 to 1 speed reduction 3 H.P. gasoline engine, use a 6 ¼” diameter “A”  
section V-pulley.  
GETTING READY FOR MIXING  
Lay out forms for your concrete floor, patio, driveway, sidewalk, etc.  
The quality of concrete is directly related to the quality of the cement paste. The  
quality of the paste, in turn, is directly related to the amount of water mixed with the  
cement. For a given amount of cement, as the amount of mixing water is reduced, the  
strength of the paste increases, making the concrete stronger and more durable.  
The proportions by weight given in Table 1 can be used as a starting point to make 1  
cu. Ft. (0.028 m3) of strong, durable concrete. The proportions given in Table 2 are  
volumetric; 1 bag of cement is equal to 1 cu. ft. (0.28 m3) and weighs 94 lbs.  
(42.6 kg). The Canadian bag of cement has a net mass of 40 kg.  
The proportions are only a guide and may need adjustments to give a workable mix  
with locally available aggregates.

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.  
EXTENSION CORDS-ELECTRIC MOTOR  
The following size extension cords should be used for this mixer: length of cord, up to 100 ft-  
14 gauge wire; up to 200 ft-12 gauge wire; up to 300 ft – 10 gauge wire; up to 400 ft – 8  
gauge wire.
