Dear customer,
congratulations on your choice of purchase: the IMER cement mixer, the
result of years of experience, is a very reliable machine equipped with all
the latest technical innovations.
The machine can mix both dry or wet fi ne grain materials (plaster, mor-
tar, cement, fl oor sub-bases, rendering, synthetic resins or pre-packed
mixes).
WORKING IN SAFETY
In order to be able to work in complete safety, the following instruc-
tions must be read carefully
- This OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE manual must be kept on site
by the person responsible for the site, e.g. the SITE FOREMAN, and
must always be available for consultation.
- The manual should be considered as being an integral part of the
machine, and must be kept for future reference (EN 292/2) until the
machine itself is disposed of. If the manual becomes damaged or lost, a
replacement can be obtained from the manufacturer.
- The manual contains important information regarding the preparation
of the site, installation and use of the machine, maintenance and spare
parts ordering. Nevertheless, the installer and operator must both have
adequate experience and knowledge of the machine.
- In order that the safety of the operator, safe working and long life of
the equipment can all be guaranteed, the instructions in this manual
must be followed together with safety standards and health and safety
at work laws currently in force (use of suitable footwear and clothing,
use of helmets, gloves and goggles, etc. in accordance with S.I N° 3073
of 30/11/92.
. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT SIGNS ARE LEGIBLE
. It is strictly forbidden to carry out any form of modifi cation to
the structure or working parts of the machine.
IMER International decline any responsibility in the case of non-com-
pliance with laws and standards governing the use of this equipment. In
particular: improper use, defective power supply, lack of maintenance,
unauthorised modifi cations, partial or total failure to observe instructions
contained in this manual.
1. DESIGN STANDARDS
The MIX360 mixer has been designed and constructed in accordance
with the following standards:
IEC 34.1; IEC 34.5; EN292-1,EN292-2,EN60204-1.
2. NOISE EMISSION LEVEL
Table 2 indicates the noise level produced by the mixer, measured at
the operator’s ear (LpA at 1 m - 98/37CE) and the environmental noise
emission level (power LWA) measured in accordance with EN ISO 3744
(2000/14/CE).

3. MIXING CAPACITY
The mixing capacity of the machine per cycle is 200 litres (approxima-
tely half of the tank height).
4. SAFETY MEASURES
-The IMER cement mixer can only function if all the safety devices with
which it is equipped are in perfect condition.
-The machine will not operate if the mains connection is defective.
-On-site power connection lines must be installed so that they cannot be
damaged. Do not stand the machine on the mains connection line.
-The power lines must be installed so that water cannot penetrate
connections. Only use connectors fi tted with protection against water
spray.
-Repairs to the electrical plant must only be carried out by specialised
personnel. Do not operate the mixer during maintenance or repair ope-
rations.
-Accident prevention and health and safety at work regulations must be
complied with in the working area.
. The machine must only be stopped using the appropriate
switch.
. Do not open the tank protection cover to stop the machine.
5. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The IMER mixer complies with standards EN60204-1. In particular, it is
equipped with a system that prevents automatic restart after the power
supply line is interrupted.
-Residual current protection of electrical equipment
-Electrical safety device that prevents the machine from operating when
the tank protection cover is open.
When used on construction sites, the mixer can be connected to an
earthing system by attaching an earthing braid (or wire) of minimum
section 16 mm² (see Fig. 2).
6. MECHANICAL SAFETY
-A guard over the outlet prevents access to the mixing zone.
-The tank protection cover allows the mix components to be loaded
without access to the mixing zone.
The mixer will stop if the cover is opened.
7. TRANSPORT
. WARNING!! Always disconnect the machine from the mains
before moving it.
-When on-site, the mixer can be moved manually from one location to
another as shown in Fig. 3.
-For other types of handling, the mixer must be lifted using a four-cable
sling attached to the lifting lugs, as shown in Fig. 4.
8. INSTALLATION
Lift the mixer (the mixer is fi tted with a lifting jack - ref. 4, fi g. 7).
- Screw in the outlet opening handle (see Fig. 6).
If there are no lifting means available, lift the mixer using the jack sup-
plied (see Fig. 7).
1 - Raise the rear supporting legs (Ref. 2 Fig. 7) to their maximum height
and lock them in position using the locking pins.
2 - Use the handle (Ref. 1 Fig. 7) to raise the machine, resting it on the
rear legs (Ref. 2 Fig. 7).
3 - Position the front legs (Ref. 3 Fig. 7) (towing side) at the height requi-
red and lock them using the locking pins.
4 - If the machine is to be positioned at maximum height, insert the lower
lug (Ref. 5 Fig. 7) in the support (Ref. 7 Fig. 7), raise and lock the rear
legs (Ref. 2 Fig. 7) at the third hole from the bottom.
5 - Remove the lower fork connection Ref. 5 and lower the jack so that
the upper fork connection can be inserted (Ref. 6 Fig. 7), then complete
the lifting operation.
For intermediate working levels, the rear part of the machine should
be lifted in a single operation, as in points 1 and 2, by using the lower
connection point on the jack (Ref. 5 Fig. 7).
To return the machine to the towing position, follow this procedure in
reverse order.
Position the machine on level ground, adjusting the telescopic legs to
the required height.
Ensure that the machine is in a stable working position.
9. USE
-Do not allow other people to remain in the vicinity of the machine during
operation.
-Do not use the machine in a fi re-risk zone. Sparks may cause fi res or
explosions.
-Always switch off the machine before leaving it unattended.
-The machine must only be transported or positioned with the motor
switched off.
9.1 START-UP
9.1.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
-Check that the supply voltage is the same as dataplate specifi cations.
-Ensure that the power supply line is fi tted with a differential protection
device upstream.
-Connect the machine to the earthing plant and the mains power supply.
-Ensure that the blades rotate in a clockwise direction.
If the paddles rotate in an anti-clockwise direction, stop the machine, di-
sconnect the mains plug and invert one of the phases inside the plug, by
rotating the inverter slot between the pins using a screwdriver (Fig. 8).
- Start the motor by pressing the black on/off pushbutton on the control
panel.
9.1.2 ENDOTHERMIC MOTOR
-Check the motor (see motor manual).
-Check the motor oil level (see motor manual).
-Fill the fuel tank (see motor manual).
