MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is necessary on all machines if they are to remain in good working order. It is
strongly recommended that this must be carried out by trained technicians from a Max Mec appointed
distributor.

which the bowl cradle slides. After clean the beater shaft, please wipe and lightly lubricate the beater
shaft with Vaseline to prevent rusting. (SEE CARE ON YOUR MIXER)
ON AN ANNUAL BASIS
Check that all bolts are tight and bowl guard secure.
