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.
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.
• 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.
General
• Single-phase TEFC models include cord, plug and switch.
• Three-phase models must be wired in the field by user.
• Ex-Proof models must be wired in the field by user.
• DC-Variable-Speed electric models have a controller
mounted to the mixer and they are pre-wired.
• Air motors include exhaust muffler & speed control valve.
TMD - Plate Mount Series
These top entry tank mixers can be channel or beam
mounted on open tanks, or mounted on closed tanks which
are operated under atmospheric conditions. (non-sealed)
Mounting is on a rugged flat steel plate supplied as standard
equipment with predrilled holes. Carrier bearing offers
maximum shaft support, reducing motor and gearbox wear
and minimizing shaft wobble.
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.

Installation
Mounting Plate
Mounting plate dimensional data shown at right.
These top entry plate mount mixers can be channel or beam
mounted on open tanks, or mounted on closed tanks which
are operated under atmospheric conditions. (non-sealed)
Plate is rugged flat carbon steel and is supplied as standard
equipment with predrilled holes per drawing.
Your new mixer is supplied assembled complete except
for the impeller-shaft and impeller(s) which have to
be fitted to the machine before it’s operational. See
Shaft & Coupler installation section on next page for
details.
Gear Drive (set-up)
Mixers with gear reducer drives require the installation of
the Vent-Plug before operation. This allows heat to vent to
atmosphere during operation. After mixer has been
mounted in its final position, install Filler-Vent Plug per the
following instructions.

Shaft & Coupler
To install impeller shaft, back off set-screws in the coupler
and bearing as far as possible without removing them.
Install the shaft by sliding it through the bearing and into
the coupler. Approximately 5.5” of the shaft will slide into the
coupler. Tighten the set-screws to secure the shaft into the
coupler. Next, tighten the set-screws on the bearing retaining
ring to secure shaft to the bearing.
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.
Impeller Placement
• Mixers with ONE impeller, mount it 1 to 2 impeller
diameters distance off the bottom of mixing container.
• 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.
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.
CAUTION:
9Never run mixer without a propeller.
9Never run the propeller in open air.
9Never 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:
Gear Drive Models:
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.
- RPQ2 Oil capacity is 14 ounces.
