INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS
IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE OPERATING MIXER. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
OWNER TO MAKE SURE THE MIXER IS SET UP PROPERLY. THE FOLLOWING RECOM-
MENDATIONS SHOULD BE HELPFUL
Roller Chain Tighteners so they apply suffi cient spring tension to keep roller chains running
smoothly.
Roller Chains for wear, proper alignment and tension. Adjust or replace if necessary. Roller chain
connector links which pass over tightener sprockets must have the legs of the cotter pins trailing to the
direction of rotation.
Safety Decals for readability. If any safety decals are removed, obstructed, or otherwise not under-
standable, they should be replaced immediately. Keep all decals clean and visible.
Safety Shielding to be sure all shielding is in place and functions properly. Replace all damaged or
missing shielding immediately - see parts pages for more information.
Bolts and Set Screws after a few hours of use and each month thereafter. Tighten if necessary.
Wheel Bolts must be kept properly torqued. Damage to the rim may occur if wheel bolts are not
checked frequently.
IMPORTANT: WHEN WELDING ON THIS UNIT: Do NOT allow the current to fl ow through the
bearings, roller chains, or scale weigh bars. Ground directly to the item being welded. ALWAYS disconnect
weigh bar cords from scale indicator before welding.
