Introduction

Intro/Operating Principle/Delivery Checks/Before

Starting/Determining the Right Machine

Congratulations on your purchase of a Stone

Champion™ Mortar Mixer! You've made an excellent choice! Stone mixers have been specifically designed as the ideal machine for the professional contractor.

Upon receipt of your equipment,

CAREFULLY

CHECK FOR ANY FREIGHT DAMAGE

.

Any damage should be immediately reported to the carrier and a claim registered.

Stone Champion™ Mortar Mixers are manufactured to the strictest specifications and inspection procedures. If any material or manufacturing defects are found, return the tag on the machine with assembler's signature and your findings to the manufacturer. We want to know when a product is less than perfect. We also welcome any and all input about how the product may serve you better.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The following instructions were compiled to provide you information on how to obtain long and trouble-free use of your unit. Periodic maintenance of this unit is essential. Read the manual in its entirety and follow the instructions carefully.

Failure to do so may injure yourself or a bystander.

DELIVERY CHECKS--Immediately upon taking delivery of your new equipment and before putting it into service:

• Read the handbook completely--it could save a great deal of unnecessary expense.

• Read the engine manual supplied.

• Check the general condition of the equipment--has it been damaged during delivery?

• Check engine oil level.

• Check fuel levels.

Recommended lubricants are detailed in the Maintenance section.

BEFORE STARTING--These starting instructions are general guidelines only. Consult the engine manual included with this unit for specific instructions.

DETERMINING THE RIGHT MACHINE

1050PM--Ideal for jobs requiring a 10 cu.ft. mixer.

1265PM--Ideal mid-range all purpose size with 12 cu.ft. capacity.

1285PM

--Utilized for jobs requiring maximum productivity with an 12 cu.ft. size.

1650PM--Applicable for jobs requiring 16 cu.ft.

capacity.

Mix only Mortar, Plaster, Terrazzo, Fireproofing and

Grout. Do not operate machine if rocks, stones, ice or frozen materials are in mix and/or in drum of mixer.

The Stone Champion

TM

mixer line provides the most popular sizes and configurations available. Engine options available can accommodate any job. Engines available are 8hp B&S, 8hp B&S I/P, 9.2hp Wisconsin, 10hp B&S I/P, 11hp Honda, 18 hp B&S electric start and 5hp Electric.

- 15 -

Introduction

STANDARD FEATURES

Your new mixer comes standard with some or all of the following features:

Patented Automatic Guard Lifter--Lifts the drum guard as drum is tilted to prevent mix from being poured through the guard causing build up. The guard and guard lifter system is designed for your safety and convenience, please

DO NOT

operate the mixer with the guard lifter disconnected or the guards removed.

Quadruple Shaft Seal--Provides a life long neoprene and urethane seal system that completely isolates the sealed ball bearings in the drum trunnions from the mix.

Back Dump--The back dumping system allows the drum to be tipped over backwards to facilitate cleaning of units mounted in front of plaster pumps, troughs, etc.

Handwheel 1650 Only--The handwheel dump system provides more leverage for easier dumping of these large capacity mixers.

Power Blend Paddle System 1265PM and

1285PM--Adds a new dimension to the mixing action. The sharper angle at which the blades enter the mix divides, separates and recombines in addition to the normal folding and extruding actions.

The blades “cut” the mix rather than “plow it”, resulting in a more lateral movement and less energy consumption. This cutting action minimizes the unproductive rolling action common to other mixers.

The six paddles with longer blades insures a thorough mix in minimum time.

Standard Features/Preparation for Service

Curved Plaster Blades Option for 1265PM and

1285PM--The Power Blend Paddle System is recommended for mixing plaster and fireproofing materials. It can be used with or without rubber blades. It features curved blades to facilitate cleaning and curved ends on the long blades to minimize splashing and balling “of the mix”.

PREPARATION FOR SERVICE

READ ENGINE OWNERS MANUAL.

Before Starting--Mixers are shipped completely assembled and ready for operation except for installation of the safety chain and dump handle.

Safety Chain Installation--Remove the safety chain kit from the engine compartment. The kit includes

(1) 12 ft. length of safety chain and (2) connecting links. Pull one end of the chain through the (2) key hole slots located in the front post of the mixer with a hook (see drawing below and decal on mixer front post). Attach the connecting links to each end of the chain. Follow the instructions in the Towing section of this manual and on the mixer front post to attach the safety chain to the towing vehicle.

Operating

After mixing for the proper length of time (homogeneous mix obtained), discharge the mix from the drum by using the dump handle to dump the drum and control the discharge.

After discharge, if another batch of mortar is to be mixed, return the drum to the mixing position and make sure the drum latch is engaged. Immediately pour in half of the required water for the next batch with paddles turning. This will clean the paddles and drum between batches and help prevent lumps of dried mortar from forming and contaminating the next batch.

If no more mortar is to be mixed in the next hour or so, the mixer drum and paddles should be thoroughly cleaned. If no more mortar is to be mixed that day, the entire mixer should be thoroughly cleaned inside and outside to insure maximum life and performance.

OPERATING

Before drum can be tilted to dump mix, the drum lock bolt needs to be removed from the back dump stop mechanism. Do Not discard this bolt--it is required to lock the drum in an upright position for safe towing. Refer to Frame and Drum Assembly drawing for location of the above parts.

Start the engine / motor as instructed above and allow gasoline engines to reach operating temperatures. Close the engine cowl.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

To get long and trouble-free service from this mixer, it is essential that you perform periodic maintenance on the engine and machine mechanisms. Follow the guide lines listed below:

Maintenance and Lubrication

A. ENGINE - Daily check the oil levels in the engine and engine reduction unit daily. The engine warranty is VOID if run without oil.

Since there are many options available on this mixer, consult the ENGINE MANUAL for specific recommendation as to oil level, oil type required and frequency of oil changes required.

For maximum service life from the engine, follow those recommendations.

B. WEEKLY - Grease drum bearings (2) places and trunnions (2) places. On the 1265PM models only, grease countershaft pillow block bearings (2) places on gas powered models and

(4) places on the electric models.

C. BULL GEAR - Lightly grease the bull gear and pinion after each 250 hours of operation. Avoid over-greasing as this will attract dirt and accelerate wear.

D. WHEEL HUBS - Repack annually (4) tapered roller bearings in wheel hubs and replace wheel seals. Install washer and nut. Torque to 20 ft.

lbs., back off one turn, torque to 7 ft. lbs., back off to first slot in nut and insert cotter key.

E. If the mixer has been towed through deep mud or water, dissemble the wheel hubs and repack per D above with a good grade of high speed wheel bearing grease. WHEEL BEARING

LUBRICATION--Fill wheel hub with grease to inside diameter of outer races and also fill hub grease cap. Never use grease heavier than 265

A.S.T.M. penetration (No. 2 grade). Grease bearing cone by machine or by hand method.

Force grease between rollers, cone and cage. (If

Ball Bearing Hub: force grease between balls.)

It is not recommended that a pressure grease fitting be installed on the hub.

Maintenance

CLEANING

For consistent performance, long life and continued high quality mixing of plaster or mortar, thoroughly clean the mixer inside and out at the end of each day's operation. To prevent lumps of dried plaster from forming and contaminating future batches of plaster or mortar, do not allow built up materials to form on drum guards, around paddles or anywhere inside the drum.

Before cleaning, shut off the engine or motor and disconnect the spark plug wire or electric cord to prevent accidental starting. Spray the mixer with water before the mix dries to remove any accumulations. Dried mix should be scraped out as necessary.

DO NOT beat on the drum with a shovel, hammer or other device to break up accumulations of dried mix, as this will dent and damage the drum.

The Back Dump Feature--this facilitates the cleaning of units mounted permanently, or semipermanently in front of plaster pumps, troughs, etc.

Dirty water and contaminants can be disposed of without running them through plaster pumps and other equipment. To back dump mixer, refer to

Frame and Drum Assembly drawing and parts list for parts identification and proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect guard lifter (Item 26). Use dump handle (Item 1) and tilt drum far enough so that the dump stop will clear the frame.

2. Reverse procedure when completed.

Gearcase Models 1285PM and 1650PM--Refer to

Gearcase Assembly Drawing and Parts List for parts identification located in the Parts/Service Manual.

Daily--check oil level in the gearcase. Oil level should be halfway across the oil sight glass plug in the clutch access cover located on the right side of gearcase.

Lubrication/Cleaning

Yearly--drain the gearcase and refill with fresh oil as follows:

1. On the gasoline powered models, disconnect spark plug wire(s). On electric models, disconnect electric cord at mixer.

2. Drain the old oil from the gearcase by removing the two magnetic drain plugs from the clutch access cover and the bottom of the gearcase.

Note: both of these plugs have hexagonal heads-

-do not remove the square head plug at the bottom of the case.

3. After draining the oil from the gearcase, clean off the two magnetic drain plugs, reinstall and tighten securely.

4. Remove the oil fill plug from the upper right side of the gearcase and refill the gearcase with

2-1/4 quarts of SAE 90 motor oil. Replace the oil fill plug and tighten securely.

5. Reconnect spark plug wire(s) or electric cords, start engine/motor and run the mixer for a couple of minutes. Shut off the engine/motor, check for leaks and allow oil level to settle.

Double check the oil level; it should be halfway across the oil sight glass plug in the clutch access cover.
