MAINTENANCE.
Before performing any maintenance on the mixer, disconnect main electrical
power supply to the machine. Place a tag at the main disconnect switch
to indicate that you are working on the machine.
LUBRICATION.
Planetary
The planetary oil should be checked periodically. To check, DISCONNECT
MAIN ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY and remove the Drip Cup-Splash
Guard, which is secured by three screws. Remove the Planetary Fill Plug
(Fig. 6). Oil should be even with the bottom of the fill plug hole. If it is not,
slowly add the recommended planetary lubricant until it is. Replace the fill
plug and the Drip Cup-Splash Guard.
Fig. 6
A Planetary Drain Plug (Fig. 6) is located on the bottom of the planetary. Should
draining become necessary, remove the Drip Cup-Splash Guard and place a suitable
catch pan under the drain plug. Remove the drain plug, allow the oil to completely drain,
and replace the drain plug. Remove the fill plug and pour in 6 fluid ounces (177 mL) of
the recommended planetary lubricant. Replace the Panetary Fill Plug and the Drip Cup-
Splash Guard. Contact your local Hobart Service Centre for the recommended
planetary lubricant.
Planetary Seal
Occasionally, the Planetary Seal (Fig. 6) may become dry and begin to squeak. To
correct this, work a little lubrication under the lip of the seal.
