SAFETY
The precautions mentioned in this manual are not

and understand the contents of this manual before
the mixer is operated.
Installation, operation and maintenance must be
performed only by qualified personnel.
Do not operate this equipment unless all safety
devices are installed and working properly. Check
all devices prior to starting the equipment.
Do not touch rotating parts (keep all guards and
safety devices installed while operating).
Develop a safety checklist for this equipment and
perform regular maintenance to ensure continued
and proper operation.
Do not make any field changes or modifications
without reviewing the change with your BRAWN
Sales Representative or the BRAWN Customer
Service Department.

START UP
1. Before operating the mixer, jog the motor and
observe mixer shaft rotation. Proper rotation is
clockwise, as viewed from the top, unless otherwise
noted.
2. Check all bolts and fasteners for tightness. It is good
maintenance practice to recheck all bolts after two
weeks of operation and periodically thereafter. Refer
to TABLE 1 for recommended torque values.

BOLT-TIGHTENING RECOMMENDATIONS:
Inadequately or improperly tightened hardware can
loosen due to vibration during mixer operation. This can
result in reduced mixer life or damage to equipment.
Recommended torque values for tightening all in-tank
and mounting hardware are listed in TABLE 1. These
average torque values should be considered only as a
guide and not as absolute values.
3. Do not attempt to start mixer with impellers buried in
solids or solidified liquids.
CAUTION
Do not operate mixer with the tank empty or the lowest
impeller submerged with less than ½ of the impeller
diameter of liquid above it. Damage to the mixer and/or
mounting structure may result.
AIR MOTORS
Since your mixer was supplied with an air motor, certain
precautions must be taken as follows:
1. The mixer was shipped with a needle valve installed
on the motor outlet port. A muffler is provided for
installation at the needle valve (See Air Motor
Diagram). The function of the needle valve is to
control the motor speed.
2. The air supply must be adequately sized to provide
the proper pressure and volume of clean, filtered, dry
air. A pressure regulator is required prior to
connection to the needle valve. An air line filter
should be capable of 25 microns or better.
3. Blow out the air supply line before connecting to the
motor to remove any dirt or debris in the air line.
