5. OPERATION
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 engage into
the locking plate on the mixer frame. To tilt the drum, withdrawn the tipping wheel to dis-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.
