Maintenance
CLEANING
For consistent performance, long life and continued
high quality mixing of plaster or mortar, thoroughly
clean the mixer inside and out at the end of each
day's operation. To prevent lumps of dried plaster
from forming and contaminating future batches of
plaster or mortar, do not allow built up materials to
form on drum guards, around paddles or anywhere
inside the drum.
Before cleaning, shut off the engine or motor and
disconnect the spark plug wire or electric cord to
prevent accidental starting. Spray the mixer with
water before the mix dries to remove any
accumulations. Dried mix should be scraped out as
necessary. DO NOT beat on the drum with a
shovel, hammer or other device to break up
accumulations of dried mix, as this will dent and
damage the drum.
