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-fi tting 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 qualifi ed 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, qualifi ed 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 fl ammable 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
fi ltered 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
General
• Single-phase TEFC models include cord, plug and
switch.
• EP models must be wired in the fi eld by the user.
• Air motors include exhaust muffl er.
TL - Tote Lid Series
Tote Lid mixers are ideal for agitation of 275 gallon and 330
gallon IBC totes and can be fastened to the 5-1/2” opening
in the center of plastic IBC Totes. The TL mixers are light-
duty that are great for keeping water-like materials moving
inside your tote.
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.

possible without removing them. Insert mixing shaft into
the coupler as far as it will go. Tighten the set screws
fi rmly to secure the shaft to the coupler.
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

Installation
Your new mixer is supplied assembled complete except
for the impeller(s) and impeller-shaft which have to be
fi tted to the machine before it’s operational.
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.

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 oper-
ate.
