Installation Using a Support Stand
1. Set up support stand in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Attach a double (rod) clamp to the vertical rod on the support stand and tighten clamp screw. (See
Figure 4)
3. Slide rod of adjustable-tilt mounting assembly into clamp and secure with clamp screw.
4. Select an impeller and shaft for the required operation and install as follows:
a. Place impeller on shaft and tighten set screw.
b. For high-torque mixers head, slide the shaft of the stirring device into the three-
jawed chuck and tighten chuck.
c. For high-speed mixer head, slide the shaft through the collet at least 3 inches and hand-tighten
collet.
5. Place support stand legs around vessel. Tilt angle is adjustable from 0 to 30 degrees.
•
Exercise extreme care when adjusting mixer head height and/or
position to avoid personal injury. Never make these
adjustments while the mixer shaft is rotating.
•
Mixer shafts must be inserted into high-speed through-shaft
mixers at least 3 inches and the collet hand-tightened firmly to
ensure adequate shaft retention. Keep mixer shafts as short as
possible to reduce resonant vibrations caused by shaft flexing
at higher speeds.
6. Position the height of the mixer head by moving the clamp up or down on the support stand or, on high-
speed models, by loosening the collet and positioning the shaft.
