INDCO, Inc. M-M-30114 mixer manual FGM date: 5/13/05
General
The ring mount provides steady, worry-free mixing. Ideal for
mixing colorants into paint, remixing settled material or
blending powders into liquids. All models are supplied with
5/8” diameter stainless steel shafts equipped with “Quic-
Change Couplers”, which eliminates the bother of fumbling
with set-screws when changing or cleaning mixing shafts.
Shafts twist on and off without tools. Fits 5-gallon pails with
lids up to 12-1/4” outside diameter.
Standard Features:
• 5/8” diameter x 15” long shaft - 316 stainless steel.
• Quic-Change Coupler for easy shaft removal.
• 9” diameter, 2-blade Propellers - 319 aluminum.
• Electric models have cord, plug & switch.
• Air models have speed control valve & exhaust muffler.
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.
Safety
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 run the unit in open air.
Electric Motor Safety:
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.

Operation
CAUTION:
9Never run the shaft~impeller in open air.
9Never run shaft~impeller outside the pail.
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.
Shaft & Coupler
The FGM Series mixers have a Quic-Change Coupler that
allows easy installation and removal of the Mixing Shaft.
A Pin is installed in the Mixing Shaft, which fits into a slot in
the Quic-Change Coupler.
Mounting
The FGM Series Mixer will work with open 5-gallon pails only.
1. Loosen Thumb Screw and place the unit on top of the pail
with the Mixing Shaft and Impellers attached.
2. Make adjustments, if necessary, to the position by rotating
the Ring Base on the pail.
3. Tighten Thumb Screw.
4. Check shaft rotation:
Electric Power: Check rotation to be sure the mixer
shaft is rotating in a counter clock-wise direction,
looking downward into the container.
Air Power: 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 counter clock-
wise direction, looking downward into the container.
5. Mixer is ready to operate.
