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.
Air Motor Safety: (continued)
• 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.
General
INDCO clamp mount mixers are engineered for mixing large
volumes of light and medium materials or small batches
of heavy materials. The clamp mount allows 90° vertical
and adjustments for the most efficient mixing position.
Clamp and motor mount are cast of aluminum for high
strength and they are lightweight. Propellers and shafts
are stainless steel. TEFC, Explosion-Proof and Air motors
are standard.
Economy Direct Drive - CL Series
• Standard electric models have output speed of 1750RPM.
• Variable speed electric motors run from 35 to 1750RPM.
• Air models run from 300 to 3000RPM.
Economy Gear Drive - CLG Series
• Standard electric models have output speed of 350RPM.
• Variable speed electric motors run from 0 to 350RPM.
• Air models run from 60 to 600RPM.
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.

Impellers
The standard impellers are 3-bladed marine style. To install
the propeller, 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 shaft to
the propeller.
Installation
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 guide-lines are “rules of thumb” and may not
be the best for your situation. Experimenting with impeller
placement may provide your best results.
Clamp Mount
After installing the impeller(s) and impeller-shaft which have
to be fitted to the machine before it’s operational, lower mixer
into the container and lock in place with clamp assembly.
Ensure the clamp is level, square, and plumb when mounted
to the mixing tank. Ensure there is adequate space around
the unit for cleaning, inspection and maintenance.
Illustrations below show the ideal operating angles for the
CL(G) series portable clamp-mount mixers.
- The mixing shaft should be 10° to 20° off vertical.

NOTE:
• Do not use a pipe wrench or any other tool to assist in
tightening the hand knob(s).
• Over tightening will break the C-clamp.
• The clamp is designed to hold the mixer securely in
place using hand tightness only.
• Use of tools to tighten hand knob will void the warranty.

Installation, (continued)
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 the set screws firmly to
secure the shaft to the coupler.
Operation
Electric Power: Once the electric motor has been wired,
check rotation to be sure the mixer shaft is rotating in a clock-
wise 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 clock-wise direction, looking
downward into the container.
Once the mixer is in the container, it is now safe to operate.
Always start and stop mixer in slowest speed.
CAUTION:
ü Never run mixer without a propeller.
ü Never run the propeller in open air.
ü Never run propeller outside a container.

Maintenance
Maintaining your mixer is not difficult if you follow these
guidelines:
- Keep the mixer clean.
- Check all set-screws and fasteners, tighten as needed.
- 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: (gearbox models)
Economy CLG Series:
The gear box contains oil from the factory.
The recommended replacement oil is:
- Gearbox models #RPQ1 and RPQ2:
• Mobil Extra Hecla
• Shell Oil Omala 680
• Texaco Meropa 680
• or equivalent to above
- For 50°F to 125°F ambient.
- RPQ1 Oil capacity is 11 ounces.
Gear Drive, Economy CLG 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.
