3. Functional description
The task of the soil mixer is to mix various components into a
soil which meets the needs of the plants.
A rubber conveyor belt inside the soil hopper transports the
components towards the elevator which is swivelled backward.
The elevator chains and the rubber conveyor belt turn
continuously, thereby mixing the soil. The mixing time can be
selected as required.
After the mixing time has elapsed, the elevator swivels forward
into the unloading position. The soil is now transported out of
the soil mixer into a waiting container or the soil hopper of the
potting machine. It is also possible to select the discharging
time.
A moistening system is available as an accessory. It can be
installed in order to moisten the soil before it is discharged.

2 General safety instructions
1. Due diligence of the operating company
The MAYER soil mixer EM 6012 was designed and
built taking a danger analysis into consideration and
after careful selection of the harmonised standards to
be complied with as well as other specifications. It
therefore meets the state of the art and guarantees a
maximum degree of safety.
However, only if all the measures required for such
are taken can this safety be achieved in actual
operational practice. Planning these measures and
checking their implementation is subject to the
operating organisation's duty to take due care.
The operating organisation must in particular
guarantee that:
•… the machine is only used in accordance
with its intended use (cf. the Product
description section).
•… the machine is only operated when in
flawless working order and, especially,
that the working order of the safety
equipment is regularly checked.
•… the Operating Instructions are always
available in legible condition and complete
at the location where the machine is used.
•… only sufficiently qualified and authorised
personnel operate, service and repair the
machine.
•… these personnel are regularly instructed
about all relevant matters concerning
industrial safety and environmental
protection and that they know the
Operating Instructions and especially the
safety instructions they contain.
•… none of the safety and warning signs
attached to the machine are removed and
that all remain legible.
•Users must obligate themselves only to
ever operate the machine when it is
flawless condition.
•No unauthorised conversions or
alterations are allowed that influence the
machine's safety.
•Only when it has stopped, must any work
ever be carried out on the machine.

9
•Before beginning with any work on the machine,
secure its drives and accessory parts against
being switched on unintentionally.
•The protective devices may only be removed
when the machine has been stopped.
•Local safety and accident-prevention
regulations always apply to any operation of the
machine.
•The machine may not be started if any safety
devices are removed.
•In the working area the operator is responsible
for other people.
•In case of non-compliance with any one of
the points cited above, the manufacturer
shall be released from all liability.
1. Explanation of the safety symbols used
The safety symbols along with the text of the safety instructions
are meant to point out unavoidable residual dangers that exist
when dealing with this machine. These residual hazards relate
to:
•People
•The machine
•Other things and objects
•The environment
The following safety symbols are used in these Operating
Instructions:
This symbol indicates that there are dangers to the machine,
things and the environment, but that no dangers to people are
to be expected.
If these instructions are not followed, it might result in
malfunctions and damage to the machine. Property damage
and environmental damage might also come about
This symbol identifies instructions contributing to better
understanding of the machine information that helps you to use
the machine in optimum fashion. This symbol does not identify
safety instructions.
This symbol warns against the danger of electric shock.
Be sure to also note that a safety symbol can never replace the
text of safety instructions—the text of safety instructions must
therefore always be read completely!

3. Basic safety precautions
Always be sure that:
•… tight-fitting working clothes are worn at all the
workplaces.
•… it is not allowed to wear chains, rings, bracelets or
wristbands.
•… for operationally relevant reasons, it is not possible to
completely cover the soil hopper.
•… it is not allowed to reach into the soil hopper (to push in
more soil, for example), because when doing so there
would be a danger of getting caught by the scraping chain.
•… it is not allowed to get into the soil hopper while the
machine is running.
