Transmission
The transmission oil should be even with the line on the Oil Level Gauge when the motor is NOT
running. If the oil falls below this line, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY and remove the
Top Cover, which is secured by two screws. Remove the Transmission Fill Plug (Fig. 6) and add a small
amount of the recommended transmission oil until it returns to the proper level. DO NOT overfill the
transmission — leakage may result. Contact your local Hobart Service Office for the recommended
transmission oil.

Bowl Lift
The bowl clamp area of the bowl support, the slideways and lift screw should be lubricated two or three
times per year, depending on use. To reach these areas, loosen the thumb screws securing the apron
and remove the apron. Remove the inner apron by removing its screws.
The slideways and lift screw (Fig. 5) should be lubricated approximately twice a year. To reach these
areas, fully lower the bowl support and remove the apron, which is secured by four thumb screws. Wipe
a thin coat of Lubriplate 630AA (supplied) on the bowl clamp area of the bowl supports, each slideway
and the lift screw.
Replace the apron.
ADJUSTMENTS
Bowl Clamps
The height of the bowl clamp is controlled by a spring washer and lock nut, which are located on the
bottom of the bowl support. Turning the lock nut clockwise will loosen the clamp, turning the lock nut
counterclockwise will tighten the clamp. If repeated adjustments are necessary, additional service is
indicated. Contact your local Hobart Service Office.
