New Paddle/Hub Seal Kit Installation
Kettle Shaft Maintenance
1.
With the machine OFF, unplug unit from the power source and allow it to cool.
2.
Loosen the wing bolt lock stud and remove the mix paddle.
3.
Remove any burrs on the shaft using a fine grit emery paper to lightly sand the
surface. If the burrs are not removed, damage may occur to the new o-ring/oil seal
during installation.
4.
Remove the old hub seal assembly.
5.
Clean the area around the center hub. Remove any product residue.
Note:
The kettle shaft should be removed monthly and the bushings lubricated with
Never Seez
®
(use White Food Grade
ONLY
). To do this, loosen the (2) set
screws in the jaw coupling and remove the shaft.
DO NOT lose the shaft key;
this must be reset into place when reassembling.
6.
Lightly lubricate the center hub of the kettle with a small amount of vegetable oil to
allow for easy installation of the hub seal assembly.
7.
Slide the new hub seal assembly down the agitator shaft. Apply pressure to ease the
assembly over the center hub of the kettle until it seats properly (see image below.)
8.
After the hub seal assembly has been properly installed, re-install the mix paddle onto
the agitator shaft.
9.
Finger tighten the wing bolt to secure the mixing paddle in place.
