4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your cement mixer:

1. Pre-Operation Check:
   • Inspect the mixer for any visible damage, loose parts, or frayed electrical cords.

4. Add Ingredients:
   • With the drum rotating, gradually add the required amount of water.

  • Rinse thoroughly with water. Do not spray water directly onto the motor or electrical components.
  • The drum is designed to be easily cleaned.
• Lubrication: Periodically lubricate moving parts such as the drum bearings and tilt mechanism with appropriate grease to ensure smooth operation.
