INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION The Harbil
H-I High Speed Paint Mixer is a basic, automatic mixer
designed with concern for safety, reliability and ease
of use. It is
specifically designed to be placed on a table, counter top or space-saver
stand. The gear drive assembly requires no lubrication. The belt should last
for many years with occasional adjustments.
It is a nearly maintenance free
device that should deliver many years
of reliable service. Its features
include:
Heavy-duty, high-capacity components and a durable finish for long
wear.
Vibration-free mixing for blending and conditioning paint.
Pre-set mixing times with solid state electronic controls and
touchpad.
Automatic shut off
if the door is opened during the mixing operation.

and arrange for inspection in order to claim
recovery. Claims for damage must be made by
the consignee (YOU). The carrier assumes full
responsibility upon acceptance of shipment and
will not entertain any claims by the consignor
(Fluid Management).

CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE
NOTE:
The unit must be plugged into a dedicated
electrical line with
no other equipment using
the same circuit.
1. Connect the mixer to a separate, dedicated circuit: for example: 120 volt.
20 ampere. The mixer requires a grounded outlet. No other
equipment is to be used on this dedicated line. See
"GROUNDING" on
13.

EXTENSION CORDS
Extension cords tor 220 VAC models are not recommended. It an extension cord is
to he
used for 110 VAC models. it should not he combined with other extension
cords. Use onlv a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-[1ole grounding plug. Power
should be provided by a 3-[10Ie receptacle that will accept the plug on the [1roduct.
Make sure that your extension cord is in good condition. It must have # 18 AWG
conductors up to 25 feet long. An extension cord 25 feet long. but no than 50
feet is permissible provided it has conductors of at least # 12 AWG. It must be
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord can
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power, overheating and damage to
the
electronics.

INSTALLATION
GROUNDING
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The 3-
prong plug, equipped with grounding wire, must be plugged into a 3-s10t
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances (See "Adapter Usage" on page 13)
DANGER:
I"A..
ill
Improper use of the grounding plug can
result
in a risk of electric shock.
DO NOT connect the grounding wire to a Hat-blade terminaL The wire with
the insulation having an outer surface that
is green (with or without yellow
stripes) is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman
if you are not sure how to
ground this machine. Under no circumstances should you modify the
plug
if it does not fit the outlet.
WARNING:
After you have plugged the mixer into a
dedicated power line and leveled it, inspect
to be sure that you have removed the
shipping materials inside the mixer.
