PLEASE NOTE:
The 25lb. mixer may be effective with a .50HP LEM Grinder Motor depending upon the amount and
tackiness of meat. The 50lb. Mixer is best used with .75HP or higher LEM Grinder Motor.
TO ATTACH TO GRINDER MOTOR:
1. Attach the 4 mixer feet to the unit by threading the mixer feet bolts into the unit and attaching the mixer feet
nuts onto each of the mixer feet bolts.
2. Place the drive gear shaft of the meat mixer close to the drive shaft of the grinder motor. Adjust the mixer
feet up or down until the drive gear shaft of the mixer aligns perfectly with the drive shaft of the
grinder motor.
3. Tighten the nuts on the mixer feet bolts to hold the unit at the desired height.
4. Slide the units together as tightly as possible. Turn the paddles of the mixer until the drive gear shaft aligns with the
grinder motor drive shaft.
CAUTION:
It is imperative that the mixer and the grinder motor drive shafts be aligned
and level. Undo wear or even damage to the mixer or grinder motor may occur if they are not properly assembled.
5. Tighten the grinder head star bolt on the grinder motor (not shown) against the mixer attachment.
6. Plug in the grinder motor.
LOCKING TUB IN PLACE FOR MIXING
1. Mixer must be in upright position with the lid in place.
2. Pull the locking knob on the side of the mixer to release the tub. Tilt the tub until the locking pin can be engaged with
the locating hole at the bottom of the tub.
UNLOCKING UNIT FOR TILTING
1. Carefully pull the locking knob to release the tank. When fully released, the locking knob can be turned and locked in
the open position until you tilt the tank. Be careful when tilting the tank when it is full of meat.
2. Put a meat lug (available at LEM) in place to catch the meat as the tank is tilted forward. Note: There are three stop positions
on the tub. One for locking the tub in the tilt position, another for mixing and the other is upside-down for storage.
3. Pull the locking knob again to release it. Position the tub so the lock pin is aligned with the locating hole. This will hold
the tub in the tilt position for easy dumping.
MIXING
When making sausage it is important that you add water to the mixture. Water will: a) Help the seasoning blend with
the meat. B) Making mixing easier. C) Make stuffing easier. It will not weaken the flavor of the sausage.
1. Mix seasoning (and cure, if used) with a minimum of 1oz. of water per pound of meat. Mix until seasoning is dissolved.
2. Put meat into mixer and pour water/seasoning mixture over meat. Place the tank cover onto the mixer.
3. Mix meat until it starts to become tacky.
DO NOT OVERMIX.
4. Remove sausage meat mixture and immediately put it into stuffer for stuffing. Do not allow sausage meat mixture to
sit before stuffing.
REMOVING THE AXLE WITH PADDLES:
1. Turn the axle adjusting knob clockwise until it has completely recessed and released the axle.
2. Move the axle towards gear box to release it from drive shaft.
REMOVING THE TUB FROM STAND:
1. Unscrew the wing screws that are holding the pressing boards in place and flip the pressing boards out of the way.
2. Since the axle with paddles has been removed the tub should be able to be lifted straight off of the stand.
CARE FOR YOUR MIXER:
1. Hand wash the tub and axle with paddles in warm soapy water. Rinse and hand dry thoroughly.
2. Wipe down the stand with a damp towel.
3. Lightly coat the unit with food grade silicone spray. This will prevent oxidation and keep the mixer in like new
condition. Silicone spray is available from LEM Products.
4. Reassemble the tub on the stand and tighten the pressing boards in place.
5. Install the axle with paddles.
6. Tighten the axle adjusting knob by turning it counter clockwise, to hold the axle with paddles in place.
7. Tilt the tub upside down for storage.
Note: If the axle adjusting knob tuns hard, adjust the depth of one or both of the set screws. These should
be turned clockwise until tight, and then backed off until the axle adjuster knob turns freely.
Thoroughly hand-wash all parts before first use in warm soapy water to remove the
lubricant applied during manufacturing.
