Material weight.

Divide by 4.

each bag of cement used.

NOTE

Do this at various settings on the indicator dial as required by the amount of material to be

used in the mix.

The metering wheel on the mixer is 66.

Four (4) times 66 equals 264 count on the meter.

Discharge this amount in

the container at the exactorate dial setting selected,

weigh container and material,

deduct the weight of the

container and divide by 4.

This will give you the amount of material per bag of cement.

Repeat at various settings

as often as required to determine amounts to be discharged per bag of cement.

The exactorate system may also be calibrated by using the time required to discharge one (1) bag of cement.

The

time will be shown in front of the manual.

This method is not as accurate as the 4 bag method previously described.
