Installation
Installing the Mixer
The mixer weighs 24 lb (11 kg). To manually lift it in
and out of the drum, grasp the housing (3), and guide
the helix tube (7) through the drum bung. See Fig. 5.
Accessory handle Part No. 189658 is available so you
can connect a lift hook to raise and lower the mixer or
hang the mixer to store it.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the siphon tube, lower the mixer
to the drum bottom; do not drop it.
Do not install the mixer without the bearing nut (8) in
place. See Fig. 6 on page 9. If the bearing nut is not
installed, the siphon tube (4) and helix tube (7) will
rub against each other during operation and cause
damage. Replace the bearing nut if damaged or
worn.
1. Hold the mixer by the housing (3) or by the acces-
sory handle, and lower the helix tube (7) through
the bung until the siphon tube rests on the bottom
of the drum.
NOTE: The tube must rest on the bottom to evac-
uate the maximum amount of material from the
drum and to stabilize the mixer.
2. Make sure the gasket (46) is in place, screw the
bung adapter (44) into the bung, and tighten the
bung adapter. See Fig. 5.
3. Make sure the o-ring (20) in in place inside the
lock-ring (45), then tighten the lock-ring (45).
CAUTION
To keep the helix tube pointed straight down, make
sure the bung adapter (44) and lock ring (45) are
tight.
4. Position the air motor so the air line (C) can be
attached to the inlet (D) on the needle valve with-
out obstructing any other system components.
5. When using the mixer suction feature, connect
a suction hose (E) between the mixer fluid outlet
fitting (41) and the pump. See Fig. 5. The hose
connector must have a 30 bevel to match the
fluid outlet fitting with an airtight seal. See Maxi-
mum Siphon Flow Rate on page 8.
When not using the siphon feature, plug the
fluid outlet fitting (41) to prevent excess fluid
evaporation.
The air motor exhaust can be piped out as follows:
Remove the air motor muffler (16a), and connect an
exhaust line to the exhaust port.
NOTE: Model 236629 has a1/4 npt(f) exhaust port.
Model 236760 has a 3/8 npt(f) exhaust port.
