Maintenance Procedures
Always disconnect machine from power source before maintaining or servicing.
Cleaning:
Keep the machine clean. Colorant or paint spilled on the machine can be cleaned with warm soapy water. Af-
ter washing, oil the 5/8” threaded rods with 3in1 oil. Be careful not to get the timer wet.
Lubrication:
Oil capacity is one pint - do not exceed. Oil level to be maintained is determined from the marking on the oil
gauge. Use number SAE 30 oil.
Keep the 5/8” threaded rods free of dirt, dried paint, and other materials. Once a week apply a thin film of
3in1 oil to the 5/8” threaded rods.
Belt Adjustment:
The belt adjustment screw is located on the base next to the drive housing. Belt should be tightened if belt
starts to squeal or machine mixing speed is noticeably slower. Loosen jam nut and turn adjustment screw
clockwise one turn at a time until mixer runs properly, tighten jam nut. Do not over-tighten belt which will put
strain on belt and motor bearing.
