CME35 4 Cu Ft. Cement Mixer Assembly & Operating Instructions Manual
6
Secure the mixing blades to the upper
drum by inserting two M8X16 cross
headed screws, from the outside through
the holes in the drum. A leather 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.
Figure G. Position the adjusting plate and
attach with bolts.
Figure H. Slide the support arm over the
adjusting plate and attach with bolts. Place shaft at the leg end of frame
with the rim facing inwards. Secure with two M8X25 bolts, each with a nut,
lock and flat washers. Insert the spring into the bar pipe. Hold it in place
with a finger and place the bar over the larger diameter shaft so the shaft
retains the spring. Press down on bar until the holes in the bracket line up
with the hole drilled. Insert a hex bolt and screw on a nut with flat and
lock washers from the other side. Screw the nut up against the bracket firmly,
but not so tightly so as to prevent the bar from pivoting about the bolt.
Figure I. Line up the motor and slide the transmission case over the
pinion shaft. Secure the case to the frame with four M8 nuts. NOTE:
The bar 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.
LOADING / DRUM TILTING
The spring-loaded tipping bar with locking lugs provides easy 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 bar, which engages into the locking plate on the mixer frame. To tilt the drum, withdraw the
tipping bar to disengage the locking lugs. This allows the tipping bar and drum to be turned in the same
direction. Rotate the tipping bar until the locking lugs engage into the locking plate on the mixer frame.
NOTE: A built-in thermal protector in the motor will prevent it from overheating. The thermal protector
restores automatically when the motor cools down.
MAINTENANCE
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 to break up accumulations of dried cement mix. The drum may be
scoured for approximately 2 minutes, using 1" gravel and water mixture. Discharge the gravel / water
mixture and hose down the drum assembly inside and out. The drive belt is under constant tension by a
spring-loaded jockey. No adjustment is required apart from a touch of grease on the spindle. The
bearings are sealed for life.
