COMPONENTS

ASSEMBLY
It is recommended that The H-Frame Cement Mixer is assembled by two persons.
Remove the Mixer and contents from the carton. Be sure the carton is empty before discarding.
If you require any assistance with regards to the contents of the Mixer, please contact us:
Tel: [phone] - Mon –Fri 8.00am –5.30pm (excl. Bank Holidays)
Email: [e-mail]
STEP 1 –THE STAND
A- With a split pin inserted into the inner holes in each stub axle, place a flat washer, then a wheel
followed by another flat washer. Insert another split pin into the axle holes outside each flat washer.
Bend each side of the pins outward so they do not fall out.
B- With the frame lying on its side, attach the support leg as shown. Insert two M8X70 hex bolts
through the holes from one side, followed by flat washers, lock washers and nuts from the other
side. Tighten fully.
C -Turn the frame over and attach the axle bracket with wheel frame in the same manner.
Make sure all bolts and nuts are tightened.

STEP 2 –THE BOTTOM DRUM
D- Slide the bearing block on the shaft. Hold it in place with Ø42 spiral ring.
Carefully, and with two people, set the bottom drum with support arm onto the side supports of the
stand as shown, so that the bearing blocks slot into the channels provided by the side supports. The
larger diameter shaft should be at the leg end of the stand.
At each side, line up the holes in the side support with those in the bearing block and insert a M8x65
hex bolt from one side, then a flat washer, lock washer and nut from the other side. Tighten with a
M8 spanner.
STEP 3 –THE MIXING BLADES
E- Mount the mixing blades inside the bottom drum loosely as shown - Two holes are provided at
the base of the drum into which a M8X20 bolt may be inserted from the outside. A rubber washer,
flat washer, lock washer and nut should be threaded on loosely on the inside. The rubber washer
should be placed under the blade down against the drum.
NOTE: Two arrow labels are affixed on the upper drum and bottom drum to assist you in lining them
up to one another. If you have any difficulty in correctly positioning the mixing blades, it is helpful if
you temporarily mount the upper drum on the top of the bottom drum, rotating it so that the two
arrows line up.

STEP 4 –THE UPPER DRUM
F- Position the upper drum onto the bottom drum over the rim, making sure the mounting holes
align in both as well as the labeled arrows.
Screw a M8x16 hex bolt with lock and flat washers into each threaded hole in the rim/ring gear.
Make sure the tightening process is carried out progressively.
Secure the mixing blades to the upper drum by inserting two M8x20 cross headed screws, from the
outside through the holes in the drum.
A rubber washer should be positioned inside between the drum and blade. Secure the mixing blade
on the inside using a flat washer, spring washer and nut.
Finally, ensure top and bottom mixing blade mountings are tight.
STEP 5 –THE TIPPING WHEEL
G- Slide the locking plate over the large diameter shaft at the leg end of the frame with the rim
facing inwards as shown. Secure with two M8x25 bolts, each with a nut, lock and flat washers.
H- Insert the spring with the washer on the top into the sleeve on the tipping wheel. Slide the wheel
over the larger diameter shaft until the holes in the bracket line up with the hole drilled. Insert a
M10X65 hex bolt with a flat washer and screw on a nut with a flat washer from the other side. Screw
the nut up against the bracket firmly, but not so tightly so as to prevent the wheel from pivoting
about the bolt. Screw a M10x40 socket head cap screw on the sleeve to adjust the spring tension
NOTE - The wheel must be allowed to pivot about the bolt, so that the lugs on the bracket can be
engaged or disengaged from the slots in the locking plate.

STEP 6 –THE TRANSMISSION
I - Lining up the keyways, slide the transmission case over the pinion shaft. Secure the case to
the frame with washer & M8 nut.

OPERATION
Before operating the machine, please ensure you are fully aware of the below instructions,
failure to do so, could invalidate your manufacturer’s warranty.
Completely unwind any extension cable. Connect it to the mixer first, before plugging into the
power supply.
Always start the mixer before loading the drum.
Load the drum with drum rotating.
Do not throw material into the mixer, to avoid it sticking firmly to the back of the drum.
Trickle it in steadily over the ram.
DRUM TILTING
The spring-loaded tipping wheel with locking lugs provides an easy positive control of the drum
which can be locked in the mix, discharge and stored position.
The drum is locked in position by lugs on the self-locating tipping wheel, which engages into the
locking plate on the mixer frame. To tilt the drum, withdraw the tipping wheel to dis-engage the
locking lugs. This then allows the tipping wheel and drum to be turned in the same direction.
To retain the drum in position, aligning the lugs with the slots, release the tipping wheel a little,
while retaining the drum. Rotate the tipping wheel until the locking lugs engage into the locking
plate on the mixer frame.

DRUM LOADING
For best results, proceed as follows:
Add the required amount of gravel into the drum.
Add the required amount of cement into the drum.
Add the required amount of sand into the drum.
Pour the required amount of water into the drum.
DRUM EMPTYING
Empty the drum with the drum rotating
Do not turn off the mixer with material in the drum.
MIXING HINTS
The correct mix ratio (cement: sand: stone) depends on the type of application; harder concrete
will require a higher content of cement, whilst rougher applications require more aggregate.
First put water into the drum –around 7 litres (1.5 gallons), using more or less depending on the
type of mix required. Add some aggregate before cement to avoid sticking.
The approximate mixing time for concrete is 2-4 minutes from when all the material (including
water) has been added.
Over mixing can reduce strength and cause segregation of the coarser materials.
A concrete mix which is too wet can reduce in strength and make it less able to withstand
weathering.
Never throw material into the drum, trickle it in steadily over the rim to prevent your mix firmly
sticking to the back of the drum and can only be dislodged by stopping the mixer.
