SECTION 5
REPAIRS TO TILT HEAD PEDESTALS
A.
If pedestal is removed, check the hinge pin. If it is
galled from failure to loosen the set screw, replace
it (Fig. 70).
Fig. 70 The set screw in the bottom of the pedestal should
clear the hinge pin.
Loosen the set screw so that it will clear the hinge
pin. Place the new hinge pin in the pedestal, but do
not drive it in.
B.
Check the rubber feet. If they are worn or softened
from grease, replace them.
Twist the old feet out (Fig. 71). Clean the holes
with solvent and dry them with a clean cloth.
Fig. 71 The pedestal feet should be replaced on older mixers.
Moisten the part of the foot that will go into the hole
and twist the new foot in or tap with a mallet.
Be sure all feet are penetrating the pedestal an equal
distance to maintain a level foundation.
C.
If the bowl screw cap has worn out, be sure to
replace it.
To remove the old cap, take out the three #10-
24x1/2” flat head screws and lift out the old cap.
Put the new cap in place and screw it down tight
with the three screws (Fig. 72)(24- 32 in/lbs.).
Fig. 72 The new cap is secured to the pedestal with three
screws.
D.
While in the cradle, place the pedestal on the
bottom cover.
Line up the holes for the hinge pin and tap it in so
that an equal amount of the pin extends on each
side of the pedestal (Fig. 73).
Fig. 73 Use a rubber or rawhide mallet to tap the hinge
pin into the pedestal.
E.
Using a flat blade screwdriver, tighten the hinge
pin set screw up inside of the pedestal (Fig. 70).
