Adjusting of bowl clamping and centering:
In the rear part of the bowl arms (J) a shaft with an eccentric stud (K) has been mounted, on which the ball bearing is mounted.
By turning the eccentric stud, the bowl arms can be opened and closed so that the clamping and the centering of the bowl can be
adjusted. It has to be observed that the shaft is mounted in the bowl arm with a thread so that when the eccentric stud is turned,
the whole shaft is turned out and in into the bowl arms. When exchanging the whole shaft, the right starting point for the adjustment
must be found first. The ball bearing (L) must be in the middle of the guide plate (M) so that the width of the entire ball bearing is fit -
ting tightly against the guide plate, and at the same time it has to be observed that the eccentric stud cannot hit the back plate when
the adjustment has been finished.
In order to counteract that the eccentric shaft turns loose by itself when the mixer is working, the eccentric shaft must be self-tight-
ening. In order to obtain this effect, the below drawings must be followed, on which the adjusting area for the left and the right bowl
arm, resp. is shown.
First find the bowl centering, e.g. by mounting bowl and beater in the mixer, and turn the beater round with your hand, and measure
the distance from the beater to the edge of the bowl.
• When adjusting the clamping and centering of the bowl, the bowl
arms must be raised into working position. When exchanging the
shaft with eccentric stud (K) the bowl arms must be lowered.
• First open the lock plate (N) .
• Loosen the shaft counter nut
(P)
, use span 46.
• Screw an M8 bolt with counter nut (R) into both the eccentric studs
(K) , and tighten the counter nuts. If the shaft with the eccentric
stud has stuck in the bowl arm, it can be loosened with a key with
the span 36.
• By turning the eccentric studs the clamping and the centering of
the bowl can be adjusted.
• Remember to use the right adjusting area for right and left bowl
arm. The drawings show the adjusting area for
• When the adjustment is correct, tighten the shaft counter nuts (P) .
