Follow this guide to replace the power components on a 2014 Kushlan cement mixer model 600DDS.
This guide is for replacing the capacitor, on/off switch, and power cord simultaneously. If only one of these components needs to be replaced, follow the respective individual guide.
To prevent electric shock, leave the device unplugged for 20 minutes to allow the capacitor to discharge before you begin.

FYI: i always assume that the capacitor is still charged: i use a screw driver and touch the screw driver across the terminals to make sure the capacitor is discharged. or sometimes i connect a jumper wire to the metal part of the screw driver & the other end of the jumper wire to the ground to make sure that the capacitor is discharged. first method i use for smaller capacitors and the other method i use for larger capacitors. this way you won’t be “overcharged” for this repair.

Very well presented. The photos were very sharp and clear. From looking at your photos it would apear that you can reverse the motor rotation by reversing the 2 capacitor leads. This would make empting the mixer eaiser in some situations. Do you agree?
Thank you,
