MAINTENANCE
NOTE: ALL MAINTENANCE WORK SHOULD BE DONE ONLY AFTER UNIT HAS BEEN
DISCONNECTED FROM ELECTRICAL POWER AND GROUNDING.
Never use a metal or stiff brush to clean the mixer. Never clean the mixer with a water
hose or any fluid pressure.
The mixer should be thoroughly cleaned daily.
Bowls and agitators should be removed from the mixer and cleaned in a link.
The transmission case and planetary mechanism
should be inspected weekly for leaks,
damage, etc. Should it become necessary to repack the ball bearings, an authorized service
technician or the manufacturer should be contacted. Use of unproved grease of lubricants may
lead to damage and void the unit's warranty.
The
bowl lift slid ways
(Figure 1-1) should be lubricated semi-annually, or more often under
heavy usage. Disconnect the unit from the power supply before removing the top housing or
apron. The
drip cup
(Figure 1-4)
or safety guard
should be inspected periodically for
moisture or lubricant dripping. Remove the cup and wipe it with a soft cloth.
Cleaning
The mixer should be thoroughly cleaned daily.
Bowls and agitators should be removed from the mixer and cleaned in a sink.
DO NOT use a hose to clean the mixer - it should be washed with a clean damp cloth.
The drip cup (Figure 1-4) should be removed periodically and wiped clean. A large flat blade
screwdriver may be used to remove the drip cup
Hub Attachments
The mixer’s standard-sized, No. 12 hub accommodates a variety of optional attachments. To
install an attachment, loosen the thumbscrew (Figure 1-7) on the attachment hub and remove
the hub cover plug (Figure 1-8). Insert the attachment into the attachment hub making certain
that the square shank of the attachment is in the square driver of the mixer. Secure the
attachment by tightening the thumbscrew. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s installation,
operation, and safety instructions for the hub attachment. Attachment hub should not be used
while mixing.
Mixing Heavy Doughs
The moisture content of heavy dough is a critical factor when selecting proper mixing speed.
You should never use 2nd speed when mixing heavy dough with an Absorption Ratio (AR) of
50% or less.
