SAFETY
KNOW YOUR CONCRETE MIXER
Read this manual and all labels to understand your YARDMAX
concrete mixer and its limitations and potential hazards.
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, AND MEDICATION
Do not operate your concrete mixer while under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol, or any medication that could affect your ability to
use it properly.
AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
Secure your concrete mixer on level ground. Keep your work area
clean and well lighted. Cluttered areas may cause injuries. Do
not use your concrete mixer in wet or damp areas or expose it to
rain. Do not use it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents, or
ammable liquids pose a potential hazard.
To prevent the mixer from tipping over, only use or operate the
mixer on solid, at, level ground capable of supporting the weight
of both the mixer and its load. Do not attempt to move the mixer
when it is loaded and/orin operation. This mixer is intended for
the production of concrete, mortar and plaster. It is not suitable
for the mixing of ammable or explosive substances. Do not use
it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents or ammable liquids
pose a potential hazard.
INSPECT YOUR CONCRETE MIXER
Check your mixer before turning it on. Keep guards in place and
in working order. Do not plug mixer with motor cover off. Check
all bolts, nuts, and screws for tightness before each use, especially
those securing guards and drive mechanisms. Vibration during
mixing may cause these to loosen. Form a habit of checking to
see that all the adjusting tools, shovels, hand trowels and other
tools/equipments are removed from mixer area before turning
it on. Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using it.
Warning labels carry important information. Replace any missing
or damaged warning labels.
DRESS PROPERLY
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry (rings, watches)
that can be caught in moving parts. Wear protective, non-
conductive gloves and non-skid footwear. Pull long hair back or
wear a hat to prevent hair from getting caught in the machine.
PROTECT YOUR EYES
Always wear safety glasses. Concrete mixers can throw foreign
objects into the eyes, causing permanent eye damage. Every
day glasses do not have impact-resistant lenses and should not
replace safety glasses. Z87 rated glasses are recommended.
PROTECT YOUR BODY
Always stand behind the concrete mixer and stay alert.
KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY
Keep unauthorised persons away from the mixer. Do not allow
children to handle or climb on or in the mixer.
EXTENSION CORDS
Improper use of extension cords can cause the motor to overheat.
Your extension cord should be no longer than 30 feet and a
minimum of 12 gauge with a 3-prong grounded plug.
Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated connections.
Connections must be made with protected material suitable for
outdoor use. Make sure that any extension cord connections are
dry and safe. Ensure that the extension cord is carefully laid out
avoiding liquids, sharp edges and places where vehicles might
run overit. Avoid allowing the extension cord to be trapped
underneath the mixer. Unroll it fully or it will overheat and could
catch re.
AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Do not plug or unplug the motor while standing in or around
damp or wet ground. Do not use the mixer in wet or damp areas
or expose it to rain. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces:
pipes, radiators,ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. Make sure
your ngers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging
or unplugging the mixer.
Do not touch the electric wires inside the motor cover. For any
service please contact YARDMAX or an authorized service
center. Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug’s metal
prongs when plugging or unplugging the concrete mixer.
DON'T OVERREACH
Keep proper footing and balance at all times when loading
or unloading the mixer. Never stand on mixer. Serious injury
could occur if the mixer is tipped or if the moving parts are
unintentionally contacted. Do not store anything above or near
the mixer where anyone might stand on the mixer to reach them.
AVOID INJURY FROM ACCIDENTS
Keep hands out of the way of all moving parts. Do not place any
part of your body or any tool - such as a shovel - in the drum
during operation. When operating, do not pass hands through the
clearance between frame and support arm, or through the space
between the drum and the support arm.
PROTECT YOUR HANDS
Keep your hands away from all moving parts. Do not place any
part of your body in the drum, or under the nger guard, at any
time while the motor is on.

LOADING
EMPTYING
For best results, always load the mixer in the following order:
1. Add the required amount of gravel into the drum.
2. Add the required amount of cement into the drum.
3. Add the required amount of sand into the drum.
4. Pour the required amount of water into the drum.
Completely unwind the extension cord. Connect it
to the concrete mixer first before plugging in power
supply.
To avoid concrete or mortar sticking to the insides of
the mixer drum, slowly pour material into the mixer
steadily over the rim.
Always start the motor before you start loading the
drum. The mixer blades should be turning before you
start adding the contents.
Do not turn the mixer off (stop rotating arms) if you
have content inside the bin. Always empty the drum
completely with the mixer arms rotating.
A built-in thermal protector is installed in the motor to
prevent overheating, and will cool automatically as the
motor cools.

CLEANING
Thoroughly clean the mixer at the end of each day’s operation.
Keep your mixer clean. The slightest trace of material left in the
drum will harden and attract more each time you use it until the
machine is useless. Dried cement should be scraped out of the
drum. Do not throw bricks into mixer drum to clean it out. Do not
beat on the drum with a shovel, a hammer or other tools to break
up accumulations of dried cement mix, as damage to the mixer
may result.
Never put hands or limbs inside the drum while the
mixer arms are rotating.
Before starting any maintenance or repairs, stop
engine or switch off motor, and isolate from the main
power supply.
On completion of maintenance, check that the mixer
functions correctly and that all guard are correctly
tted.
Wipe off any external material on the motor.Do not
use petrol, turpentine,lacquer or paint thinner, dry
cleaning uids or similar products.
Parts in a circle should only be fitted by a qualified
electrician.
