Electrical Connections
Electrical
Connections The unit must be plugged into a dedicated electrical line
with no other equipment using the same circuit. DO NOT
use an adapter or extension cord with this product.
CAUTION
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
WARNING
Grounding
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape for the electric current.
This product is equipped with a cord that has a grounding wire and an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if
grounding instructions are not completely understood or
if in doubt as to whether product is properly grounded.
WARNING
Danger
Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If
repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The insulation wire with green or green and yellow
stripes on the outer surface is the grounding wire. Check with a qualified electrician
if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt about
whether the product is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided. If it will
not fit into the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Aligning and Leveling Mixer
Aligning the Struts
1. Make sure that the power is removed from the mixer.
2. Remove the top cover of the unit. Save the screws.
3. Check the inner frame and struts by grasping the frame at the top.
Vigorously rock the frame back and forth to see that all struts move freely on
their supports. No kinking in the springs should occur at the bottom of the
struts. The shake frame will return to the center position and appear level
when it comes to rest.
4. If one or more of the struts is not seated properly, it (they) can be realigned
as follows:
•Remove the upper rear cabinet (sheet metal covering). See Figure 5,
“Removing the Mixer Covers” on page 27.
• Raise the inner frame closest to the unseated strut. The frame should be
high enough for the strut pin to clear the strut body.
•Carefully lower the frame while guiding the pin into the strut body.Take care
not to raise the frame so high that the other struts become unseated.
•Repeat this procedure for each misaligned strut.
5. Move the mixer to its permanent, leveled area. Leave ample room around
the paint mixer to facilitate maintenance and safe operation.
Leveling
Although the mixer is leveled by the manufacturer, variations in floor surfaces may
necessitate further adjustment.
Aligning and
Leveling

WARNING
Improper leveling may cause severe damage to the
paint mixer when in mixing operation.
1. Level the mixer by adjusting the 4 feet as necessary.
2. Lock the feet into place by tightening the lock nut to the frame insert.

Aligning and Leveling Mixer
Remove Shipping Inserts
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.
1. Make sure the front door of the paint mixer is closed. A safety switch
prevents the operation of the paint mixer while the door is open.
2. Apply power to the paint mixer by placing the POWER switch in the ON
position.
3. Turn the button labeled EMERGENCY STOP clockwise until the button pops
out to the ON position. If the button does not turn, then it is already in
the ON position. To stop or turn off the paint mixer, push the button to
the OFF position.
4. Push the UP button. Wait several seconds until the top plate raises high
enough for you to remove the shipping inserts.
5. Open the front door of the paint mixer. Remove the shipping inserts and the
wooden disc insert. If there is not enough room to remove the inserts,
then push the UP button again.
6. Be sure that you save the plywood and the foam rubber discs. These will be
used with 5-gallon pails.
7. Before performing an operational test, read the following information Getting
