General
• Single-phase TEFC models include cord, plug and switch.
• EP models must be wired in the field by the user.
• DC-Variable-Speed electric models have a controller
mounted to the mixer and they are pre-wired.
• Air motors include exhaust muffler.
CB - Rim Mount Series
Direct Drive Models - These direct drive mixers are ideal
for mixing and blending low to medium viscosity materials
or for resuspending settled solids. They clamp on to the
rim of a steel drum and allow the shaft to be inserted into
either a closed or open drum. All models come with 2-
blade folding impellers, which fit easily through all 2” NPT
openings.
CBG - Rim Mount Series
Gear Drive Models - The heavy duty 5:1 ratio helical gearbox
provides plenty of torque for all sorts of tough jobs. They
will quickly mix drums of higher viscosity materials like
heavy paints, resins, polymers, etc., as well as resuspend
settled materials. As the direct drive models above, they
clamp on to the rim of either closed or open steel drum.
They too, come with stainless steel folding impellers that
will fit through the bung opening of a closed drum.
Safety
Please follow the below safety precautions. If there are
any questions, please call INDCO at 800-942-4383.
Please read this complete manual before trying to operate
your mixer. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in serious bodily injury or death.
• Do not touch moving parts while mixer is operating.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothes or jewelry around an
operating mixer. Keep all hands, feet, clothes, neckties,
necklaces and other objects clear of moving parts.
• Never move the unit without a suitable lifting device.
• Have a qualified individual bring power to your unit.
• Always ground the unit. Never use an extension cord.
• Never run the unit in open air.
• Never adjust the speed without the unit running.
• Always lockout the power when working on the unit.
Electric Motor Safety:
Motors should be installed, protected and fused in
accordance with latest issue of National Electrical Code,
NEMA Standard Publication No. MG 2 and local codes.
Frames and accessories of motors should be grounded in
accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 430.
For general information on grounding refer to NEC Article
250.
Not all rotating parts are guarded. Keep hands and clothing
away from moving parts.
Trained, qualified personnel should make electrical repairs
and non-standard connections.
If environment has hazardous combustible fumes present,
use only explosion-proof electric motors.
Air Motor Safety:
The air motor is designed to be driven by compressed air
and under no circumstances be driven with any other gases.
Fluids, particles, solids or any substance mixed with air,
particularly combustible substances likely to cause
explosions, must not drive air motor.
• Do not drive with flammable or explosive gases or
operate unit in an atmosphere containing them.
• Air motor is designed for air only. Do not allow corrosive
gases or particulate material to enter motor. Water
vapor, oil-based contaminants, or other liquids must be
filtered out.
• Do not use a hammer or force coupling or drive pulley
onto shaft when installing drive onto air motor. This
causes end thrust that could damage air motor.
• Ambient temperature should not exceed 250°F.
• Beware of any exposed and/or movable parts. Proper
guards should be in place to prevent personal and/or
property damage.
• Solid or liquid material exiting unit can cause eye or
skin damage. Keep away from air stream.
• Always disconnect air supply before servicing.
• Do not allow air motor to “run free” at high speeds with
no loads. Excessive internal heat build-up, loss of
internal clearances and rapid motor damage will result.
• Some models may exceed 85dB(A) sound level.
Hearing protection should be worn when in close
proximity to these models.
Receiving
Before removing any packing, visually inspect the exterior
of the shipment for any sign of damage. Should there be
any damage, bring it to the attention of the delivering UPS
or truck line and note the same on the receiving ticket.
Should there be damage you must place a claim with the
truck line. They are the only ones who will pay for the
damage done and you are the only one who can place that
claim.

Gear Drive, CBG Series
• The gear box is filled with oil.
• The brass plug supplied loose is a Filler-Vent Plug.
After mounting the mixer, install the Filler-Vent Plug in
the highest filler point as shown below.
Shaft & Coupler
To install mixer shaft, back off the set screws as far as
possible without removing them. Insert mixing shaft into
the coupler as far as it will go. Tighten all the set screws
firmly to secure the shaft to the coupler.
Impellers
To install the impeller, back off the set screw(s) as far as
possible without removing them. Insert mixing shaft into
the bore and tighten the set screw(s) firmly to secure the
impeller to the shaft.
Installation
Your new mixer requires some assembly. Ensure ALL set-
screws and fasteners on the unit have been tightened
completley before operating the equipment. The impeller(s)
and impeller-shaft have to be fitted to the machine before it’s
operational. For more information, see the parts list pages
for general arrangement drawings.
Impeller Placement
For mixers with ONE impeller, mount it 1 to 2 impeller
diameters distance off the bottom of mixing container.
For mixers with TWO or more impellers, mount the lowest
impeller 1 to 2 impeller diameters distance off the bottom
of mixing container. Mount the other impellers 1 to 2 impeller
diameters apart. The uppermost impeller should be
positioned approximately 1 impeller diameter under the
surface of the liquid.
The above guidelines are “rules of thumb” and may not be
the best for your situation. Experimenting with impeller
placement may provide your best results.
Filler-Vent Plug Location
• Remove Allen head plug
Mounting
Insert shaft and impellers through the drum’s 2” bung
opening. Rest mixer rim bracket on to top of drum. Adjust
the rubber tipped studs to the desired height. Gently tighten
hand-knob to side of drum. Mixer is now ready to operate.

Maintenance
Maintaining your mixer is not difficult if you follow these
guidelines:
- Keep the mixer clean.
- Check all wiring on a regular basis and repair as needed.
- Air motor powered units:
• Keep air supply dry and oil in the lubricator.
Lubrication:
CBG Series
The gear box contains oil from the factory.
The recommended replacement oil is:
- All CBG models, gearbox model #RPQ1:
• Mobil Extra Hecla
• Shell Oil Omala 680
• Texaco Meropa 680
• or equivalent to above
For 50°F to 125°F ambient.
Oil capacity is 11 ounces.
Operation
Electric Power: Once the electric motor has been wired,
check rotation to be sure the mixer shaft is rotating in a
clockwise direction, looking downward into the container.
Air Power: Check to ensure the air valve is in the closed
position, then connect air supply. Check rotation to be
sure the mixer shaft is rotating in a clockwise direction,
looking downward into the container.
Once the mixer is in the container, it is now safe to
operate.
CAUTION:
9Never run mixer without a propeller.
9Never run the propeller in open air.
9Never run propeller outside a container.
