5. Installation
5.1 Preparing the installation
It should be checked that all loose parts are delivered with the mixer such as bowl, tools,
grease gun and rubber feet.
5.2 Installation
Never lift the mixer by the handle for speed adjustments or for bowl lift.
The mixer is placed directly on the floor. Foundation bolts in the floor are only necessary
under special conditions, e.g. on ships.
The mixer must be mounted with rubber feet, which neutralize both shaking and rusting.
Spacers can be inserted under the mixer’s feet, if the floor is not completely even.
5.3 Electrical connections
The electrical connections can only be carried out by a qualified electrician having the
necessary competence for the installation and service of electrical appliances.
The mixer is to be connected to power via a plug. The plug must be dimensioned for min.
16A, 230/400V~, IP44.
When connecting:
• 1 phase with N+earth, use 3 pole plug
• 2 earth, use 3 pole plug
• 3 earth, use 4 pole plug
• 3 phases with N+earth, use 5 pole plug
Before the mixer is connected to power, it should be checked that the voltage and frequen-
cy printed on the machine label is correct in relation to the place of installation. The ma-
chine label is placed at the top right side of the mixer.
5.4 Checking of the direction of rotation of the planetary head
Lift up the bowl arms to normal working position and start the mixer without bowl and
tools. Check the direction of rotation of the planetary head: the planetary head must rotate
in the direction as stated by the arrow above the planetary head. If the direction of rotation
is wrong, 2 of the phase wires of the connecting cable must be inverted.
