CHANGING SPEEDS
The GEAR SHIFT LEVER is used to change speeds. Always stop the mixer before changing speeds.
To change speeds, push the STOP button, move the gear shift lever to the desired speed, and restart
the mixer by pushing the START button. NOTE: If you do not stop the mixer to change speeds, it will
automatically shut itself off and you will have to restart it after changing speeds.
STANDARD BOWL LIFT
The Handwheel is used to raise and lower the bowl on mixers with the standard bowl lift. Turn the
Handwheel clockwise to raise the bowl or counterclockwise to lower it. Mixers equipped with
Handwheel bowl lift device must be turned off to lower the bowl.
POWER BOWL LIFT (Optional)
CAUTION: Before lowering the bowl onto a bowl truck, always unlock both bowl clamps.
To raise the bowl and bowl support, move the switch lever clockwise to the RAISE position. To lower
the bowl and bowl support, move the switch lever counterclockwise to the LOWER position. An
overload slip clutch will ratchet at the top and bottom stop positions to signal end of travel and protect
the operating mechanism.
In case of a power failure, the bowl may be raised or lowered manually. Remove the apron (secured
by four thumb screws) and use a 1" open-end wrench to turn the lift screw hex in the desired direction.
MIXING
This section explains operation of the mixer and how to install bowls, agitators, and attachments. A
separate
Use and Applications Handbook
is provided with the mixer which contains information on
mixing procedures and outlines specific uses for agitators, attachments, and accessories.
Bowl
New mixer bowls and agitators (beaters, whips, and dough arms) should be thoroughly washed with
hot water and a mild soap solution, rinsed with either a mild soda or vinegar solution, and thoroughly
rinsed with clear water BEFORE being used. This cleaning procedure should also be followed for
bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites or whole eggs.
The bowl must be installed before the agitator.
To install the bowl, fully lower the bowl support. Position the bowl so the alignment bracket on the back
of the bowl is under the retainer on the bowl support and the alignment pins on the front of the bowl
support fit in the holes in the bowl. Lock the bowl in place by rotating the bowl clamps over the ears
of the bowl.
If a bowl adapter is required, install it on the bowl support as you would the bowl and then install the
bowl on the adapter.
Agitator
To install an agitator, the bowl must be installed and fully lowered. Place the agitator in the bowl, push
it up on the agitator shaft, and turn it clockwise to seat the shaft pin in the slot of the agitator shank.
To Raise the Bowl While Mixing
To raise the bowl while the agitator is mixing the product (when required by recipe or when using the
Bowl Scraper Attachment): Load ingredients. Close Wire Cage Assembly. Select Low speed. To
begin mixing, press and hold the Start button; then raise the bowl.
