geneRaL
The MQ Model WM45H and WM45E plaster and mortar
mixers are shipped completely assembled and each mixer
has been factory tested.
The drum batch capacity of these mixers is between 1.5 and
2.5 bags. With proper care it will give continuous service
year after year.
These mixers can be powered by either a Honda GX160
gasoline engine or a 1 HP electric motor (115/230 VAC, 60
Hz). The shaft of the engine or electric motor is connected
to a drive belt pulley which is attached to a main gear. As
the main gear rotates it causes the paddle shaft to rotate.
Before Starting
Before starting if using a gasoline model mixer, read the
engine owner's manual and thoroughly understand the
safety information.
Check the items listed below:
Oil Levels (gasoline Model Only)
Be sure to check the oil levels in the engine and engine
reduction unit before starting the unit (gasoline model only).
Hardware
Check all hardware on the mixer before starting. Periodically
inspect all hardware. Loose hardware can contribute to
early component failure and poor performance. Use the
torque chart below as a general guideline and keep all
hardware tight:
