ALIGNING THE STRUTS
1. Make sure that the power is removed from the mixer.
2. Remove the top cover of the unit. Save the screws.
3. Check the inner frame and struts by grasping the frame at the top.
Vigorously rock the frame back and forth to see that all struts move
freely on their supports. No kinking in the springs should occur at the
bottom of the struts. The shake frame will return to the center position
and appear level when it comes to rest.
4. If one or more of the struts is not seated properly, it (they) can be
realigned as follows:
•
Remove the sheet metal covering designated as upper rear cabinet in
Figure 6 on page 30.
•
Raise the inner frame closest to the unseated strut. The frame should
be high enough for the strut pin to clear the strut body.
•
Carefully lower the frame while guiding the pin into the strut body.
Take care not to raise the frame so high that the other struts become
unseated.
•
Repeat this procedure for each misaligned strut.
5. Move the mixer to its permanent, leveled area. Leave ample room
around the paint mixer to facilitate maintenance and safe operation.
LEVELING
Although the mixer is leveled by the manufacturer, variations in floor
surfaces may necessitate further adjustment.
1. Level the mixer by adjusting the four (4) feet as necessary.
2. Lock the feet into place by tightening the lock nut to the frame insert.
Improper leveling may cause severe
damage to the paint mixer when in mixing
operation.
