Operation
1. Before you operate the mixer, make sure that the agitator is firmly connected
with the drive shaft and properly positioned in the kettle. The agitator must be
positioned so every scraper blade touches the kettle during at least part of each
revolution. To connect the agitator:
a. Slip-on Coupling: Slide the coupling up onto the shaft as far as it will go. Then
turn the agitator and pull it down, so that the drive pin on the shaft becomes
firmly seated against the end of the J-slot.
b. Bolted Coupling:
1. Guide the two pins of the drive shaft into the holes in the coupling.
2. With the lobe of the cam pointing up, and while holding the two cam bolts,
insert the bolts through the larger holes in the side of the coupling. The bolts
must pass the flat part of the shaft, and through the smaller holes in the
other side of the coupling.
3. Turn the cam bolts toward the shaft 1/8 turn or until the lobe of the cam is
snug against the flat side of the shaft.
4. Fasten the bolts in place with the supplied hex nuts, and tighten the nuts.
2. If the mixer has been tilted up, lower it into operating position.
3. Turn on electric power to the unit at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
4. Switch on the drive.
5. Set the desired mixing speed.
a. On a variable speed drive with electrical speed control, turn the speed
adjustment knob.
6. To stop the mixer, switch off the drive. If the cooker/mixer will be cleaned or
serviced, or will not be used for a week or longer, cut off all power to the unit at the
circuit breaker or fuse box.
7. Switch off the drive, before you tilt the mixer. To tilt the mixer, first unlatch it. For
some units, you may need to tilt the kettle forward slightly to let the agitator clear
the kettle wall as you tilt the mixer.
8. As you tilt the mixer out of the kettle, clean any clinging product from the agitator,
so product will not drip onto the outside of the kettle or surroundings, and so the
weight of product will not make the mixer fall down.
To operate the kettle component of your cooker/mixer, see the separate kettle manual.
