If your mixer was supplied with a steady bearing
assembly, the tripod will need to be welded to the
bottom center of the tank. The alignment of the shaft
assembly is very important, the center of the tripod
must be concentric with the center of the mounting
flange or mount plate used to mount your mixer to the
tank. Use a laser to align the tripod with the mounting
fixture before welding, both the tripod and mounting
fixture must sit level on the tank as shown. Weld the
tripod in place prior to assembling your mixer drive and
shaft assembly. When assembling the shaft sections,
make sure to torque the coupling bolts with the values
provided in this manual.

NOTE:
Failure to properly align the mixer shaft with the tripod
from the reducer output to the center of the tank could
result in the following: accelerated wearing of the bushing,
scoring and wear on the mixer shaft, damage to the tripod
including tearing the tripod support welds off the tank which
can lead to catastrophic failure.
