Loading the Mixer onto a Vehicle

For normal site to site transporting, the usual method of loading into a pick- up truck or trailer should be used. There are 2 ways that the mixer can be loaded on to either of these vehicles:-

LOADING BY FORK LIFT

• A fork socket (Fig 3) is located beneath the main frame to enable the mixer to be loaded using a Forklift (Fig 1).
• DO NOT stand underneath the machine whilst it is being lifted.

LOADING BY CRANE

• To expose the lifting eye, turn the drum so it is facing down using the handwheel (Fig 2).
• ENSURE the lifting ropes are inspected to the current Health and Safety guidelines and are sufficient to carry the total weight of the mixer. See Technical Data. Ensure the lifting eye is correctly located prior to lifting the machine.
• DO NOT stand underneath the machine whilst it is being lifted.

CAUTION Once the mixer has been loaded onto the vehicle, the drum MUST always be placed with the drum mouth facing UPWARDS for transportation purposes.

Transportation

SITE TO SITE TRANSPORTATION

• The mixer must be loaded onto a suitable vehicle as shown in the ‘Loading the Mixer onto a Vehicle’ section.
• ENSURE the mixer is suitably strapped down and secured to the vehicle.
• The mixer MUST only be transported with the drum mouth facing UPWARDS (Fig. 4 & 5)

TOWING

• These mixers are designed for to be towed on-site only maximum speed 5mph/8 Kh (Fig 6), for short periods of time.
• DO NOT tow on a public highway.

Mixing Positions

DRUM TILTING
The hand wheel gives an easy positive control of the drum which can be locked in the stored, mix, and discharge position.
The drum is locked in position by a self locating plunger which engages into the handwheel. To move the drum the locating plunger must be dis-engaged, this is done by pressing down on the footpedal (this is situated just above the pivoting front axle), the handwheel will now move freely allowing the re- positioning of the drum, to relock the drum in position, release the foot pedal and rotate the handwheel until the self-locating locking plunger engages into the handwheel ring.

• DO NOT put your hand through the hand wheel.
• ALWAYS keep both hands on the hand wheel.

Maintenance Instructions

Before starting any maintenance or repairs, stop engine or switch off motor, and isolate from the main power supply.
On completion of maintenance, check that the mixer functions correctly and that all guards are correctly fitted.

ELECTRIC MOTORS
All portable electric appliances are dangerous if abused. This machine will only operate on one voltage. Check the power supply to ensure it corresponds to the voltage as stamped on the motor. Make sure that the motor is switched off before you plug it into the power supply.
220-240v -Always use a Residual Current Device (“RCD”), (earth leakage trip), plugged directly into the 220-240v socket. If using an extension cable, plug it directly into the RCD.
110v -When using a portable transformer it must have a minimum output of 6.3kw and be continuously rated.
– DONOT use an extension cable between the transformer and the power supply.

The symbols on the ON/OFF switch are O=OFF and I=ON in accordance with international standards.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent. (See Wiring Diagram on Page 15.)

EXTENSION CABLES
If you need to use an extension cable it must be no longer than 30 metres (100 feet) in length. The wire section for 220-240v must be 2.5mmz2. The wire section for 110v must be 4mm2 on 100XT and 6mm2 on other models. Ensure that the extension cable is carefully laid out avoiding liquids, sharp edges and places where vehicles might run over it. Unroll it fully or it will overheat and could catch fire. Make sure that any extension cable connections are dry and safe.

COMBUSTION ENGINES
– Be aware of exhaust venting directions.

ENGINE OIL
The engine needs a regular oil check. Try not to run low on fuel as this may result in sediment from the bottom of the tank doing damage to the injector and pump. Repairs and rectification of pipework and components affected by contaminants in fuel cannot be accepted as warranty, neither will faults caused or contributed to by the machine running out of fuel. You may need to bleed the fuel system free of air before starting. Select the appropriate engine oil viscosity based on the ambient temperature and use the SAE Service Grade Viscosity Chart below. This machine is filled with SAE 10W-30 at the factory.

Engine Oil Specifications
Use an engine oil that meets or exceeds the following guidelines and classifications:

Service Categories

• API Service Categories CD or higher.
• ACEA Service Categories E-3, E-4 and E-5
• JASO Service Category DH-1

Definitions

• API Classification (American Petroleum Institute)
• ACEA Classification (Association des Constructers Europeans d’automobilies)
• JASO (Japanese Automobile Standards Organization)

DRUM (Removal and Fitment)
This can be instantly removed by unscrewing it counter clockwise in the vertically up position. Lift the drum off the machine using a fork lift, with the forks under the base of the drum. When replacing make sure that the drum shaft is greased before it is fully screwed down on to the shoulder of the shaft, ensure the drum is fully screwed down on to the shoulder or damage will occur. Take care when screwing on the drum, spinning on fast may damage the gearbox.

CLEANING
Wipe off any external material. DO NOT use petrol, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products. Never let any liquids near the engine/motor. Use 1” gravel and clean water to clean the inside of the drum.
– DONOT use bricks etc. as this will damage the drum.

DRIVE BELT

• DO NOT try to adjust with the engine / motor running.
• DO NOT run slack.
• DO NOT operate machine with guards removed.

The drive belt is under constant even tension by a spring loaded jockey, this requires no attention. The bearings are sealed for life.

GEARBOX OIL
Note: The original gearbox oil is a synthetic oil and must not be mixed with a mineral oil. Full gearbox fill 1.0 Itrs, check regularly.
The gearbox was originally filled with: Total :- Transmission W 75W/140 viscosity

Equivalent oils:

Shell :- Tivela SA, Tiivel WA, Dental W
Texaco :- Syllabi 90
Esso :- GX 75W/140| Mobil :- Glycolyze 22
Castrol :- WM or Alpha SN150
Caltex :- Synthetic gear lubricant

LUBRICATION AND RUNNING
See Maintenance Schedule Section and Operating Instructions.
Remember that diesel engines vibrate more, so regularly check all nuts and bolts are tight.

Checks and Maintenance

To help assist engine running-in, all engines are dispatched with an initial fill lubricating oil which must be changed after 100 hours.
All subsequent oil changes must be as specified below.

Mixing Hints

Mix Ratios
The correct mix ratio (cement: sand: stone) depends on the type of application; harder concrete requires more cement, rougher applications require more aggregate. The  ratios given below are guidelines: best proportions may depend on the quality of sand/stone used.
First put in the water – around 7 litres (1% gallons), using more or less depending on the type of mix required. Add some aggregate before adding cement, to avoid sticking.  Work consistently to the ratio of ingredients for whatever type of concrete mix you are working to.

Getting A Good Mix
The approximate mixing time for concrete is 2-4 minutes from when all the material (including the water) has been added – over- mixing can reduce strength and cause  segregation of the coarser aggregates.
Beware of low grade aggregates; these will only lead to trouble later on with sinking and frost spoiling the appearance of the pour. Also do not get the concrete mix too wet as this can reduce strength and make it less able to withstand weathering.

Looking After Your Mixer
Never throw material into the mixer – trickle it steadily over the rim or it will stick firmly to the back of the drum and can only be dislodged by stopping the mixer.
Keep your mixer clean – material left in the drum will harden, and attract more on each use until the mixer is useless.
Do not throw bricks into a mixer drum to clean it out. The best method is a mix of 1° (2%cm) gravel and clean water – use plenty of it, as this will do the job in half the time.
