IMPORTANT:

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
5G Paint Mixer Instruction Manual
11
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE
1. Connect the mixer to a separate, dedicated circuit; for example: 120 volt,
20 ampere. The mixer requires a single, grounded outlet. No other
equipment is to be used on this dedicated line. See “GROUNDING” on
page 12.
2. The following chart represents the wire gauge size required for the
distance from the load center to the grounded receptacle.
Figure 1 Minimum Wire Gauge
EXTENSION CORDS
Extension cords for 220 VAC models are not recommended. If an extension cord is
to be used, it should not be combined with others. Use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-pole grounding plug. Power should be provided by a 3-pole receptacle
that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure that your extension cord is in
good condition. It must have # 16 AWG conductors up to 25 feet long. An
extension cord 25 feet long, but nolonger than50 feet is permissible provided it has
conductors of at least # 12 AWG. It must be heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating.

The unit must be plugged into a dedicated
electrical line with no other equipment using
the same circuit.
NOTE:

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-slot
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT connect the grounding wire to a flat-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.
Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
DANGER:

ALIGNING AND LEVELING MIXER
5G Paint Mixer Instruction Manual
13
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 sheet metal covering designated as upper rear cabinet in
Figure 6 on page 30.
• 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.
1. Level the mixer by adjusting the four (4) feet as necessary.
2. Lock the feet into place by tightening the lock nut to the frame insert.
Improper leveling may cause severe
damage to the paint mixer when in mixing
operation.

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.
Refer to Figure 3 on page 16 for a diagram of the control panel.
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 UP light goes out and
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

OPERATIONAL
TEST
1. Turn to “BASIC OPERATION” on page 19 to be sure you understand
how to operate this mixer before beginning this test.
2. Plug in the mixer.
3. To perform this test, use two one-gallon containers, followed by a five-
gallon container, and perform these steps:
• With the one-gallon containers in position on the table, set the
TIMER to its minimum value.
• Twist the EMERGENCY STOP to release it.
• Depress the POWER switch.
• With one hand on the EMERGENCY STOP, depress the START
switch. The unit should cycle automatically--clamping down and
starting the shake cycle with a smooth, vibration-free movement.
4. If vibrations are noticed, immediately press down the EMERGENCY
STOP switch.
•Mild vibrations may occur because the unit is not properly leveled.
Try slipping a piece of paper under each of the four (4) adjustable
feet. If the paper easily slides under a foot (feet), then the mixer is
not solidly contacting the floor. Level as necessary.
•Severe or persistent vibrations may be caused by a variety of
problems. Check to make sure that the struts are moving freely. If
they are, then contact a qualified service technician or Customer
Service at Fluid Management for assistance before continuing to
operate the mixer.
5. Repeat the above steps using a 5-gallon container.
6. When the unit is operating smoothly, replace and secure the top cover
and upper rear cabinet with the screws.
7. Your high speed paint mixer is now ready for operation. Please read the
next two sections to familiarize yourself with the machine and how to
operate it safely.
