INITIAL START-UP (ENGINE/ELECTRIC MOTOR)
STARTING THE ELECTRIC MOTOR
1. Using an adequate size extension cord (see Table 4),
connect one end of the extension cord to the plug on
the electric motor, connect the other end to the power
source. Make sure the motor is configured for the
proper operating voltage.
2. Set the electric motor's ON/OFF switch (Figure 15) to
the ON position.

Mixing Dumping
1. The paddle shaft inside the drum should be rotating
at this time.
2. Lift the mixing bag compound onto the steel grate over
the bag cutter and let the contents fall into the drum.
3. Add water, and mix compound to desired consistency.
CAUTION
ALWAYS run engine at full speed while mixing.
ON
OFF
CAUTION
Be sure to stand clear of the dump handle when the
mixer is operational. Any binding of material between
the mixer blades and the drum will cause the drum
handle to move to the discharge position, thus causing
bodily harm.
CAUTION
NEVER disable or disconnect the engine start/stop
switch (Figure 17). It is provided for operator safety.
Serious Injury may result if it is disabled, disconnected
or improperly maintained.
1. Grasp the starter grip (Figure 12) and slowly pull it out.
The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain
position, corresponding to the compression point. Pull
the starter grip briskly and smoothly for starting.
Figure 12. Starter Grip
2. If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever
(Figure 13) to the "CLOSED" position. If the engine
has not started repeat steps 1 through 6.

3. Before the mixer is placed in to operation, run the
engine for several minutes. Check for fuel leaks, and
noises that would associate with a lose component.
4. To begin mixing, place the throttle lever (Figure 14) in
the “RUN” position
.
