MudMixer Maintenance Recommendations
Keep Your MudMixer Performing at Its Best
Regular MudMixer maintenance helps keep your machine working efficiently and can extend its service life. Simple cleaning, inspection and correct storage can also help prevent unnecessary wear and avoid problems when your MudMixer isn’t being used for extended periods.
Follow our maintenance recommendations below for cleaning, equipment care and winter storage.
Storing Your MudMixer in
Winter
This guide explains how to prepare your MudMixer for winter storage. If you plan to store your MudMixer where temperatures may fall below freezing, it’s important to take the necessary precautions to prevent damage.
Here’s what we recommend:
- Ensure there is no standing water in the plumbing system
- Blow air through the lines
- Open the needle valve
- Remove all tubing from quick-connect fittings
- Store the MudMixer in a covered, dry area
Once you’re ready to use your MudMixer again, we recommend disassembling and cleaning the solenoid of your MudMixer. This simple maintenance task can help ensure that your MudMixer is functioning properly and ready for use.
By taking the time to disassemble and clean the solenoid, you can help prolong the life and improve the performance of your MudMixer. We hope you enjoy using your MudMixer for many years to come!
Extend Equipment Life with MudMixer Chemical Products

MudShield 32 oz. (946 ml) Concrete Release Agent & Anti-Corrosion Shield
Our Recommended Use
Lightly mist the chute, guards, and external metal surfaces of your MudMixer before mixing. After pouring, the residue will rinse off faster, and the metal surfaces will be better protected against corrosion.

- Reapply after each use to ensure continued protection
- Ideal for use on other concrete equipment like trowels, wheelbarrows, and mixers
MudBreaker 1-Gallon Concrete Dissolver and Remover
Our Recommended Use
For dried concrete buildup on your MudMixer, apply MudBreaker to the buildup inside the hopper/chute and on exterior metal surfaces. Let it sit, then rinse or scrape off the softened concrete.
- Spray or brush a thin, even coat on dry, hard concrete
- Let it dwell for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for heavy buildup
- Clean with soap and water after use
